Please RSVP by April 1st, 2025. If you don't RSVP by then, we will mark you as not attending. Space is very limited at the venue and we cannot accommodate non-RSVP guests at the ceremony.
The ceremony will be at Sure Thing Chapel Too in Las Vegas, NV on June 4th, 2025 at 7:30pm. Check the "schedule" tab for the address.
The hotel after party is at the Orleans Hotel and Casino at 10pm. The room number will be provided by Tuesday, June 3rd.
Masks are not required at the ceremony or after party, but we encourage guests to wear them if they’d prefer. We require that all attendees be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, get the most recent booster unless unable to for health reasons (religious or moral exemptions don’t count), and test negative 3 days or fewer before the event.We won’t ask for proof, but we hope that all guests will comply. The ceremony and after party are both events where many people will be gathered in a small space. We want to reduce the chances of COVID-19 spread and practice harm reduction at an inherently risky event by ensuring guests are vaccinated and negative.
The ceremony and after party are both in Las Vegas, NV. You can take a road trip or a train for a more scenic route, but we'd recommend flying in to Harry Reid International Airport and renting a car or taking Uber/Lyft to your hotel and the event venues.
Please arrive between 7:15pm and 7:25pm. The ceremony starts at 7:30pm and will be quite short. If you arrive late, you will likely miss it.

Not really! Feel free to dress up or down -- it'll be largely casual in a carpeted hotel suite. Our only request is that people *not* wear latex for the after party.
Yes, but it's not required - your presence is already an incredible gift. We're not able to cover travel or hotel expenses and we understand that travel is expensive. We'd prefer that attendees treat this as a fun vacay that happens to include attending our wedding. If you want to give us a gift, we have a Zola registry linked above and will accept cash or checks during the after party.
No, the ceremony and after party will not be appropriate for children.
You're welcome to bring a plus one to the after party, but ceremony space is very limited at a max of 20 attendees. Only people invited to the ceremony can attend that portion. When you RSVP you can select whether you're bringing a plus one to the after party.
You're welcome to bring a plus one to the after party, but ceremony space is very limited at a max of 20 attendees. Only people invited to the ceremony can attend that portion. The "Things to Do" tab has location options to drop off a plus one during the ceremony. If your invite indicated that your plus one is only invited to the after party, please search "guest" in the RSVP search bar and select the option with your name next to it to indicate if you'll be bringing a plus one to the after party.
We'll be staying at the Orleans Hotel and Casino - the after party will be held there also in addition to the Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekender. Staying there would make attending either of those events easier. The Orleans is a bit of a drive from the Strip and other attractions - the Gold Nugget Hotel is close to the ceremony venue and there are plenty of hotels throughout Vegas to choose from. We would like to note that the Luxor has a feral cat colony issue, whether that makes that hotel more or less appealing is up to you.
Street parking is available at the ceremony venue, and the Orleans has a parking lot. Las Vegas has a decent bus system and Lyfts/Ubers are plentiful and reasonably priced.
We will not be coordinating transportation to and from the ceremony - we recommend taking a Lyft or Uber.
The wedding date is planned around a 4-day burlesque event called the Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekender - we will be attending it and highly recommend it. Other ideas of things to do can be found on the Thing To Do tab. The only events for the wedding itself are the ceremony and hotel room after party.
We will be catering a selection of food for the after party -- if you have an allergy, please let us know so we can accommodate the overall order.
