The ceremony and reception are both in the Cloquet, Minnesota area. The ceremony will be held at Good Hope Church: 55 Armory Road, Cloquet, MN 55720. the reception will follow at 2111 W Chub Lake Rd, Carlton, MN 55718. Look for the 3 big red barns to find the reception venue!
The ceremony begins at 2:00 PM, so we recommend arriving about 15-30 minutes early to find your seat and get settled.
Please RSVP by July 15, 2026 — about four weeks before the wedding.
The ceremony will be held indoors. The reception will take place at the farm, with dinner, drinks, and dancing inside the pole barn and additional space outside to mingle and enjoy the evening.
Semi-formal with a country twist. Suits, sport coats, cocktail dresses, midi or maxi dresses — dressy but not black tie. Just keep in mind the reception is in a pole barn with a dirt floor and there's outdoor space around the farm, so feel free to skip the dress shoes. Boots, block heels, wedges, or flats are some good options.

Check your invite! It'll list how many people you're invited to bring, so just go off of that. Thanks for understanding — we want to make sure we've got room (and tacos) for everyone.
Take all the photos you want! We just ask that you keep them off social media — we're not really big on it and would rather the day not end up online. Immediate family is welcome to post, but for everyone else, we'd love it if the photos stayed between us. Feel free to send them our way though — we'd love to see them!
We're keeping things relaxed with a build-your-own taco bar — head up, grab a plate, load it up however you like, and enjoy. Limited beer and wine will also be available. Please let us know about any dietary restrictions when you RSVP.
