4:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Dressy casual, and if you so choose, feel free to add a touch of 20s to celebrate our reception theme!
We welcome our immediate families and out of town guests to an informal open house. We want this to be a come-and-go open event to get to spend some more time with those close to us and those who have come a long way to spend this special weekend with us.
12:00 pm - 12:30 pm
Garden Party Attire
We will be having a very brief ceremony on the beach at the height of beach going time, which we can reserve a set time for, but can’t prevent other patrons from being present on the beach. This will be a standing-only ceremony so please wear comfortable clothes and flip fops or sandals are recommended. The beachfront is small, and there is limited parking so having many guests is not realistic. We would love to have everyone there, but it will be challenging to do so. Besides immediate family, if you want to attend, please let us know and we can help accommodate. *Note that there is a charge to enter -$15/car.
3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
The bar will be opening an hour earlier than normal business hours for wedding guests who would like to experience the Speakeasy.... err wait, I mean get a hair cut at the barber shop. Pssst, you will need to know the password to enter: "Big Al Sent Me"
5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Cocktail/Roaring 20s Theme
Be sure to make note of the password required to get into the reception: "Big D Boogie Woogie Sent Me." Attire: Feel free to participate in a Roaring 20s/Prohibition theme, but not required. It will be an Indiana Dunes summer evening event and above all we want you to feel comfortable.
6:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Cocktail 20s/Roaring 20s Theme
