FAQs
Question
Why are you getting married in Saugatuck?
Answer
As many of you know, Michael is originally from Michigan. He introduced this magical town to Marcelle several years ago and they have been coming back ever since. It holds a special place in their hearts and may even be called home one day. We appreciate you all traveling up here to share it with us!
Question
What is the Wickwood Inn?
Answer
Originally built in 1937, the Wickwood served as the family home of Frank Wicks, the mayor of Saugatuck. It is centrally located in downtown Saugatuck, just one block from the Chain Ferry that has crossed the Kalamazoo River since 1838. The Inn will serve as our home base for the weekend's festivities.
Question
Is there parking at The Wickwood Inn?
Answer
There is a small parking lot reserved for guests (ie US), but if it fills up, there is plenty of street parking as well.
Question
Will kids be allowed at the wedding?
Answer
While we can't wait to see all of the kiddos, we ask that the wedding and reception on June 10 be adults only. We can work with you to arrange child care for the evening.
Question
Can you help me find a babysitter?
Answer
Yes! Feel free to check out public sites like www.care.com and www.sittercity.com as a start, but we can also help find a local sitter.
Question
Is anything happening the day after the wedding?
Answer
We do not have anything official planned for the day after the wedding. However, we will be at the Wickwood Inn until check out time, so feel free to stop by if you're still in town!
Question
What will the weather be like?
Answer
We're praying to the rain gods that they will spare us and the weather will be beautiful. Historical average highs in June range from 72-80 degrees, but Michigan can be unpredictable, so we suggest packing layers.
Question
Will there be dancing?
Answer
The short answer is: if Mike gets drunk enough, he just might dance. The long answer is that the Wickwood Inn is located in a residential area, so our party there will need to wrap up by 10pm. However, we are a short walk away from all the bars and clubs in Saugatuck should we decide to continue the party!
Question
I am gluten-free, allergic to water, and pescatarian on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Can you accommodate me at dinner?
Answer
Of course! We will collect dietary restrictions in our invitations, but just let us know if there's anything in particular you can't eat so we make sure it stays off your plate.
Question
Do you have a registry?
Answer
While we appreciate the gesture, we have everything we need, thanks in large part to Bonnie and her many casino wins. Your presence is our gift.
Question
Does Michael actually want to do this?
Answer
Yes! Contrary to the photo above, Michael is cooperating and we are both so excited to share this magical weekend with you.
Question
Will Michael stay awake past 9?
Answer
While we will do our best to ensure Michael has napped on the day of the wedding, we cannot make any guarantees that he will last past 9pm. However, Marcelle is prepared to get down until at LEAST midnight.
Question
Are you planning a honeymoon?
Answer
We're not sure yet! But if we do, we're really feeling Asia...
