FAQs
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony? What time does the ceremony begin?
Answer
Please arrive 10-15 minutes prior to ceremony time. We plan to end guest seating at 2:55 in order to begin promptly at the scheduled time. The ceremony starts at 3:00 PM so please arrive early enough to sign out guest book, find a seat, and socialize before the ceremony begins. The Ceremony and Reception are both indoors at the same location.
Question
What time does the reception begin?
Answer
After the ceremony the wedding party will be taking photos for around an hour, and the venue will be transformed from ceremony to reception. Guests can enjoy cocktail hour during this time. The reception will begin with Grand Entrances beginning around 5pm, and Dinner beginning around 5:45pm. We ask that kiddos leave around/by 7:45 as the reception will be 18+ after that time. The reception will end with a sendoff at 10:30 PM. *There will be a hosted bar*
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
Yes, however be sure to read your invitation well. It will be addressed to “John Doe”, “Jane Doe”, “Mr. & Mrs. Doe”, or “The Doe Family”. While children are indeed welcome, we want to preface that this event does include plenty of alcohol, and some music that may not be best suited for little ears. We ask that all children invited (including those in the wedding party) depart the reception at/by 7:45 PM. So please use your judgment on what is best for your family when deciding. And as a reminder, your children are YOUR responsibility. There will be no on site babysitter. We highly suggest keeping a close eye on them, especially during the ceremony and special dances while we celebrate the biggest event of our lives.

Formal/Black Tie Optional: *No White or overly sparkly attire - As stated by the Bride & Groom* Further Description: These phrases mean that guests are encouraged to wear attire that fits a black tie dress code, but that this is optional. For men, they should wear a dark suit with a shirt and tie (if they don’t wish to wear a tuxedo). Women should wear a floor-length gown, knee-length cocktail dress, a pantsuit, or dressy separates.
