6:00 pm - 9:30 pm
Casual Attire
If you are in town before the wedding, we would love to see you to say hello at the Black Forest. While this pub may look to be an ordinary bar from the outside, what awaits is a beautiful back side patio that has become a hidden gem offering a welcoming outdoor space that's perfect for relaxing, sitting by a table-top fire, catching up, and enjoying a summer evening together. Enjoy a spread of savory snacks and hearty appetizers. Please note a cash bar will be available. Parking is available on Sheffield Road, just west of the bar, or in the St. John Lutheran Church parking lot on Mayfield Road, just east of the bar. Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly.
4:30 pm - 5:45 pm
Dress to impress, but keep it fun—think stylish, comfortable, and ready to celebrate! Cocktail attire with a playful twist is encouraged, whether that’s bold colors, fun accessories, or your favorite party outfit. Most importantly, wear something you can dance in all night!
To begin, there will be a few light bites and cocktails! The ceremony will follow on the patio of the B Side Lounge with a toast for the Bride and Groom.
5:45 pm - 9:00 pm
After the ceremony, records will be spun, food and drinks will be served and dancing will be encouraged. Keep those dancing shoes on, as Apostle Jones will be awaiting our arrival upstairs at the Grog Shop with a private show for us all. Check out Apostle Jones - https://apostlejones.com/

After the private set, options are many. Feel free to stay at the Grog Shop for a second set by Apostle Jones (this is open to the public, but wedding guests are invited to stay at no cost), head back to the Black Forest to enjoy the patio scene and karaoke, or call it a night. Whatever your choice, thank you for celebrating with us!!
