We would appreciate your RSVP as soon as possible following the formal invitation, but please no later than Friday, July 28.
Invitations were addressed to the individuals we have planned to attend. If you received a mail-back response card, we have outlined how many seats are reserved for you. If you are responding online, your guest will appear under your name. Please ensure that you are responding for your entire party. Due to limitations, we are only able to accommodate guests that were invited.
We love your kids—we really do. But we want our wedding to be your night off! Children, outside of those in our wedding party, are not invited to the wedding. We would be happy to recommend a babysitter in the Boyne City area.
We will miss you! Please still respond so we can have an accurate guest count.
We ask that you respond by Friday, July 28. If we do not receive your response by this date, we will have to mark you as 'not attending'–no exceptions. We need to provide our venue with a total guest count in a timely manner, and we don't want to risk any hiccups in this process.
To help make this an unforgettable evening, we kindly request that our guests wear formal attire. Think tuxes, suits, gowns and elevated cocktail attire. Ladies, we kindly ask that you avoid wearing white or shades of white. All events will take place outside on grass in late September, you may want to ditch the stilettos and bring a sweater.
Our ceremony will begin promptly at 5 p.m. Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early to find a seat, but please do not arrive earlier than 4:30 p.m.
Plenty of parking is available on-site at our ceremony and reception location.
Please view the "Getting There" tab on our wedding website for our local recommendations. There are many hotels, Air BNBs and VRBOs in the Northern Michigan area. Boyne City, Boyne Falls and Petoskey are the closest to our venue but other areas include Charlevoix, East Jordan, Harbor Springs and Traverse City.
We will be having an 'unplugged' ceremony. We ask that you do not use cameras and/or phones during the ceremony, as we have hired professional photographers and videographers to capture the days events. We welcome and encourage you to take as many photos and videos you would like after the ceremony. Keep an eye out for the QR codes posted at the reception so you can share your photos and videos with us!

The reception dinner will include a garden salad and your choice of Beef Medallions - Sliced beef medallions topped with au pointe sauce with Risotto Seared Chicken Breast - Lightly breaded, seared chicken breast served with Boursin cream sauce with Risotto or Countryside Ratatouille (V/GF) - Seasoned eggplant, zucchini, squash and seasonal vegetables, sautéed in vegetable stock Entree choices will be selected when you send in your response.
