**Welcome to Miami!** We're so excited to celebrate with you and couldn't think of a better way to kick off the wedding weekend than bringing everyone together for a Welcome Party hosted by Alex's parents Tim + Althea Rolfs. Join us for an evening of drinks, bites, and good company as our families and friends meet, mingle, and enjoy a taste of Miami before the big day. As many of our loved ones are traveling in from near and far—especially Alex's family—we wanted to create a chance for everyone to connect and celebrate the start of an incredible weekend. Thank you for being here with us. Let the wedding weekend begin! * This is a child-friendly event. *
4:00 pm - 10:30 pm
We invite you to dress in Black Tie Optional formal attire to celebrate with us. Tuxes and formal gowns are welcome, as well as dark suits and cocktail dresses. Outdoor areas include gravel and stone pathways, so block heels, wedges, flats, or dressy sandals are encouraged.
We’re so excited to celebrate with you at the Historic Walton House, a stunning five-acre private estate filled with lush botanicals and tropical wildlife. Complimentary valet parking will be available upon arrival. * This is an adult-only event. *
4:30 pm - 5:00 pm
The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:30 PM and will be seated outdoors in a heavily shaded area. Please note the ceremony space features gravel.
5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Cocktail hour will begin immediately following the ceremony. This portion of the evening will take place outside amongst lush greenery and tropical wildlife. Note: there will be live animals experiences during this time. This area includes stone pathways, gravel, and an intimate wood-floor tiki hut with lounge seating. We encourage you to wander, relax, and enjoy the beauty of the grounds!
6:00 pm - 10:30 pm
Dining will be served al fresco under large, shaded trees with candlelight and bistro lighting. The evening will continue with live music and dancing inside the air-conditioned Love Bird Stable.
