Question
What type of food will be served during the reception?

We are so lucky to have Casa Oaxaca, out of Minburn, Iowa catering our event! They will be serving authentic Mexican cuisine buffet style so you will be able to make your own tacos, nachos, etc. Late night munchies will also be available for those dancing the night away with us!

Can I bring the kids?

Although we love your littles, to allow all guests to relax and enjoy themselves, we have chosen to make this event adults only. Please take advantage of the opportunity for a well deserved date night!
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Again, we'd love for our guests to take advantage of the opportunity for a date night out! We suggest dressing up, but at whatever level of comfortability "dressing up" means for you. We are more excited to celebrate and dance with you than to worry about what you wear. We want our guests to enjoy themselves and have fun! For those interested, our venue colors will be predominantly white and black with accents of dark green.
