FAQs

The Wedding Website of Michael Buhman and Jess Cowl
Question

Is this a wedding?

Answer

Dear reader, it is not. We were married in a small ceremony at the Chicago City Courthouse on February, 23rd of this year. But, we always wanted to have a party to celebrate with family and friends, so here we are!

Question

So it's a reception? Three months later?

Answer

If you want to think of it as one, sure! There's no itinerary, or planned speeches, or center pieces, or garters being bitten off - but there will be food, drinks, and (potentially?) some dancing.

Question

Okay, well, that's weird but I guess Millennials gonna Millennial or whatever

Answer

We are both over 30 at this point!

Question

the details?

Answer

6-10pm @ Sanctuaria 4198 Manchester Ave, St. Louis, MO 63110 https://www.sanctuariastl.com/

Question

So, tell me about parking

Answer

The restaurant has a parking lot behind the building that will be available for use. There are also options for street parking. Keep in mind that we are celebrating on a Saturday night, so parking may fill quickly. We recommend ride sharing and/or carpooling where able.

Question

and what's the vibe of the venue?

Answer

We'll be celebrating at a Spanish tapas restaurant; it's pretty cool with some funky décor. There will be small plates, a salsa / queso bar, and an open bar. We will have the entire back patio, so please plan to dress for the weather. No dress code; we recommend a smart casual look (the couple will NOT be attending in their wedding attire).

Question

Is there a registry?

Answer

Nope! We feel so lucky to get to have the gift of time with those of you who can make it in. If you are feeling called for something more, please consider making a donation to a nonprofit / cause in our honor. Some recommendations close to our hearts include: Stray Rescue of St. Louis, the Chicago Public Library, the Chicago Abortion Fund, and The Bail Project.

Question

and what if I have other questions?

Answer

Please feel welcome to reach out to either of us! We're happy to help.
