FAQs
Question
The venue is a garden or something? What if it rains?
Answer
The Arboretum a collection of gardens is open to the public, including the day of our wedding, but we have spaces reserved for our festivities. When you arrive, you will let the folks at the gate know you are there for the Brady/Thiesfeld wedding and park in the on site lots. The ceremony will be held in the Perennial Garden unless there is rain, in which case the ceremony will be relocated to an indoor space. There will be signs posted and any Arboretum staff can help you find the ceremony location. The reception will be held a short walk away, in the Snyder building.

Question
Can I bring my friend who wasn't invited?
Answer
We love meeting new people (the previous statement is 100% not true for Patrick), but we have to ask you to not unless you have a plus one on your invitation! We only have limited space and won't be able to accommodate extra guests.
Question
Are children welcome?
Answer
Yes! We are having a kid friendly ceremony and reception, bring em if you got em (and want to, of course).
Question
What can I wear? Your directions are vague!
Answer
We want people to wear what makes them feel comfortable that's semi-nice! If you want to be decked out in a tux or ball gown, go for it! A blazer and some slacks or cocktail dress, perfect! More casual like a sundress, a stylish jumpsuit, or some bougie lil thing you'd throw together to go out to dinner at a four star restaurant, great! We simply ask that it PLEASE be nicer than what we would wear on a date if we were trying to "look nice" when we were lazy college students (aka jeans and a button up/nice blouse).
