Short answer: 5pm. Long answer: Feel free to show up between 5 and 6 pm. We're hosting a cocktail hour so you all can come in, get a feel for the space and a taste from the bar, and even arrive a little tardy. Ceremony is at 6 o'clock.
We've chosen to keep it casual and fun. There will be no reserved seating, excluding our immediate families and those who we know need a place to sit. Feel free to mingle, move around, lounge and meet new people. Please be kind and offer your seat to anyone who looks like they might need it more than you.
Comfortably classy. Dress up! Show off! But don't worry about it. Note that while we'll be under the cover of the shed, we'll be more or less outside. So, dress for the weather.
Please don't. We've asked a number of people to record/photograph our vows. If you're not one of these, please refrain. We'd like you to be present for this one!
If you want to snap a pic for yourself, go for it! Just try not to interfere with the pros. If you're posting to social media, tag us, please: #mattieandmario
We have our own lot with security on site at the venue. It will open at 4:45. Cars MUST be out by midnight, though. so if you're staying at Motor City or planning to continue celebrating after the wedding we suggest getting a ride.
