No. The ceremony will be held at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic church in Hiawatha, IA. The reception will be held at The Harmac in downtown Cedar Rapids. They are about an 11 minute drive from each other. See the "Things To Do" tab for places to go between the ceremony and cocktail hour.
To allow all our guests the opportunity to let their hair down and enjoy themselves, we've elected to make our wedding a child-free event. Please be understanding that we can only accommodate children of immediate family for our wedding day. Invitations will be specific and will include the names of the children who are invited. We will however happily accommodate breastfeeding babies, please let us know if you need this accommodation. We hope you can still join us to celebrate.
The dress code is semi-formal. We respectfully request our guests to not wear jeans or shorts. For men, ties are preferred and jackets are optional. For women, midi and long dresses are encouraged. We are also encouraging our guests to wear jewel tones or some form of neutral color (black, navy, grey, etc.) to go along with our wedding color palette, if able.
Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one they will appear under your name when you RSVP. Thank you for understanding and please feel free to reach out with any questions!
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic church has a large parking lot that will be able to accommodate all of our guests. There are 90 parking spaces for our guests at The Harmac, if you plan to drive to the reception. If you book a room at The Hotel at Kirkwood Center, there will be a shuttle from the hotel to reception and back.
Absolutely! Please let us know if you have any food allergies or dietary restrictions so that we can relay them to our caterer.
Yes, both the church and venue are air conditioned!
You will be dearly missed! If you can not make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP "not attending" so we can plan accordingly. Thank you!
We are having an unplugged ceremony, meaning that once the ceremony begins, we ask that all phones be put away and silenced. We want everyone to be fully present with us and for our photographer to be able to capture the best pictures which we will share with you. Once the ceremony is over feel free to take as many pictures as you'd like and don't forget to share them with us!
The ceremony and reception will both be indoors.
