FAQs
Question
Are you registered? Where?
Answer
Zola Registry
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
The venue will open the doors for arrival 30 minutes prior to ceremony start time. Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to ceremony start time to allow yourself ample time to find your seat. If arriving earlier than 15 minutes, there is a beautiful walking path around the pond and amazing spots for photos if you would like to enjoy the daylight.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Yes, we would love to see everyone dressed to impress in black tie/formal attire! This can include black suits/tuxes and colorful long gown/cocktail dresses for our wedding day.
Question
Will the event be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
All events are within the same building with very limited walking between each space. The ceremony and cocktail hour will be held outside under covered patios, so rain or shine we will be outside for some portion of the day. The reception will be indoors.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
Unfortunately our venue, Cafe Brauer, does not have a parking lot. If you would like to drive yourself North Stockton Dr has free street parking upon availability. I would strongly suggest arranging an Uber or Lyft to and from the venue due to limited parking options.
Question
Can pictures be taken?
Answer
We would love for all guests to take endless pictures and videos of their experience throughout the event so we can look back on our special day, but we kindly ask during our ceremony to refrain from all photos and videos so our photographer can capture the moment for us!
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
We are keeping our guest count to a minimum and if you were not provided with a plus-one on your invitation we unfortunately do no have room for further guests.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
We absolutely love having kids around but we kindly ask for you to get a babysitter for an adults only event at our wedding. Only exception for children would be specifically told to you by Joe or Leah.
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
Yes, the drinks are on us all night, but the questionable dance moves and hangover will be on you!
Question
I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?
Answer
Yes, please inform us of any food or allergy restriction as soon as possible. Contact Leah at 231-357-5360
