July 1st 2026. We need to know the numbers for the amount of food needed.
The ceremony only will be taking place at The Jewel Box in Forest Park. This at the intersection of Wells and Mckinley.
Please arrive between 6pm-6:15pm for the ceremony. This allows everyone to be seated by 6:30pm. We are allotted a very short time frame for the ceremony. For the reception, please arrive anytime after 12pm.
Our reception is a relaxed, all-day celebration from 12pm to 11pm with something for everyone. At 12:30pm, guests can join a float trip or enjoy activities at the venue. We'll have yard games, swimming, and music throughout the afternoon. Dinner will be served at 5:30pm, followed by live music at 7pm. Feel free to come and go as you please, and enjoy the festivities at your own pace.
Our reception is a relaxed celebration at a riverside cabin on the Meramac River. Guests are invited to enjoy a laid-back afternoon of swimming, socializing, and delicious food. We'll feature a traditional hog roast as the main course, followed by live music to keep the party going. A friendly cornhole tournament will add some extra fun to the evening, creating the perfect casual and memorable gathering.
We invite you to come prepared for a delightful day by the water. Bring a comfortable lawn chair for relaxing, a cooler stocked with your favorite beverages and snacks, and a swimsuit if you'd like to take a dip. Since the river bottom is rocky, we recommend water shoes to ensure your comfort and safety while enjoying the water.
Yes kids are welcome to any event. Be careful that the reception is next to a river, so watching little ones is essential. We also kindly ask that if littles are going into the river there is ALWAYS adult supervision.
