Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
Please plan to arrive by 5:00 PM. In the event it rains, our ceremony will begin promptly at 5:30 PM in the Great Hall. If it does not rain, our festivities start with a pre-ceremony cocktail at 5:00 PM on the loggia of Café Brauer. We welcome everyone to join us for drinks and hors d'oeuvres prior to heading to our ceremony. The outdoor ceremony will start promptly at 6:15pm at the Honeycomb, which is a short 5 minute walk from Café Brauer.
Question
When is the RSVP deadline?
Answer
We kindly request that all guests RSVP by June 28, 2024.
Question
Do I have to mail my RSVP or can I RSVP online?
Answer
You’re welcome to do either! Our paper invites included a stamped RSVP card that you can fill out and drop in the mailbox or you can RSVP using the RSVP tab on our website. Additionally, if you submitted your RSVP prior to receiving our formal invitation, you do not need to RSVP again. We’ve already received and recorded your response. However, if there are any changes, you may edit your RSVP using the RSVP tab on our website.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
Café Brauer will offer complimentary valet parking to all of our guests. The valet will be in the circle drive of Café Brauer.
Question
What's the dress code?
Answer
We'd love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day! Dress code is formal attire. Ladies can wear floor-length, tea-length, or midi formal dresses as well as dressy jumpsuits. We also kindly ask that women avoid colors traditionally reserved for the bride - whites, ivories, and creams. Gentlemen can wear a suit and tie. No jeans or casual attire please!
Question
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
Answer
We are having an unplugged ceremony. We firmly ask that you refrain from taking photos during the ceremony. We have hired an amazing photographer and want to ensure we see your beautiful faces (not phones) in our photos. Other than during the ceremony, we encourage guests to take and post as many pictures as they want!
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
Of course! Drinks are on us, the hangover is on you! Please drink responsibly.
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP. Thank you for understanding!
Question
Can I bring my children?
Answer
We love your little ones! However, we have decided to keep our wedding and reception an adult-only event with the exception of immediate family. We encourage you to use this evening as a date night!
