If your invitation says "and Plus One," then yes, if not, we would prefer if it was just you.
Yes! Your invitation will either include your children's names or "& family".
The ceremony and the reception will both take place at the Barn at Dunvilla in Pelican Rapids, MN. We plan to have the ceremony take place outside and the reception to take place inside the barn! Weather permitting of course.
After the ceremony, we would like to invite our guests to enjoy some snacks and beverages inside the barn, or utilize some of the yard games outside. The wedding party will be finishing up some photos nearby.
You will be missed! If you can not make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP "no," so we can plan accordingly.
We recommend that you arrive a half hour before the start of the ceremony, to make sure everyone is on time and we can get the party started as scheduled!
Guests are invited to park on-site of the venue. Parking is free and overnight parking is encouraged!
Yes - we have blocked off 10 rooms at the Lakes Inn at Dunvilla which is located right next to the venue. Make sure to reserve your rooms ASAP as the hotel is small, near the lakes, and our wedding is on Labor Day weekend! We also have blocked off rooms at the Holiday Inn in Detroit Lakes.
The ceremony is located outside and is wheelchair accessible. The reception is inside the barn and offers an electrical chair lift to help guests upstairs.
The bride and groom request that no photos or videos be taken during the ceremony - that's what the photographer is for! Feel free to take and post photos after the ceremony using the hashtag #LillisWedding and tagging us so we can keep track of all of your pictures!
NO outside alcohol is allowed on the venue grounds once the bar opens. The bar will be closed immediately if outside alcohol is found. Please respect Spanky’s Stone Hearth and get all of your drinks from the bar!
