The dress code is formal, so tuxedos are optional. Men can wear a suit and a tie. Women can choose a floor-length dress, fancy cocktail dress, or dressy pantsuit. Please note that our bridal party will be wearing black, so we kindly request that women avoid solid black dresses.
Children are warmly invited to join us for our wedding, and their inclusion will be noted on the invitation or RSVP page. For the reception, we suggest considering a night out without the kids, as there will be alcohol, adult-focused activities, and a celebration that continues late into the evening and we want you to enjoy! However, we completely understand if bringing your children is necessary, and they are more than welcome to attend. If you’re interested, we’d be happy to provide a list of highly recommended babysitters—please don’t hesitate to reach out for suggestions!
We kindly request that all RSVPs be submitted through our wedding website. Please visit the following link to RSVP online: https://www.zola.com/wedding/margaretandjanssen/rsvp.
Parking is available at our ceremony venue, Bayfront Park West, with a spacious lot conveniently located near the park. For the reception at Hotel Walloon, guests may utilize several nearby parking lots or opt for street parking. If you plan to drink, we encourage arranging transportation in advance, as rideshare services in the Petoskey area can be less reliable on short notice due to its popularity as a destination.
We invite our wedding guests to wear any color of their choosing, provided their attire aligns with the dress code. However, due to our bridal party wearing black, we kindly request that female guests avoid wearing black dresses. Thank you for your understanding!
