Question

Where will the ceremony take place?

Answer

Our ceremony will take place at All Saints Wedding Chapel in downtown Howell. Please keep in mind, there is not parking immediately around the chapel. The street parking in front of the chapel will be blocked off for our getaway car. There is other street parking on the side streets and Grand River Avenue, as well as free parking lots around downtown Howell. The closest lots are on the corner of S Walnut Street and W Sibley Street, as well on the corner of S Michigan Avenue and W Sibley Street. All Saints Wedding Chapel Address: 114 S. Walnut Street, Howell, MI 48843

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

Arrive early enough to grab a great seat and soak in the ambiance—but not so early that you beat the bride and groom! The ceremony will start promptly at 3:30 p.m., so we recommend arriving between 3:00 p.m. and 3:15 p.m. to get settled and ready to celebrate with us.

Question

What happens if I show up late?

Answer

You'll get the look from the bride, and nobody wants that! All joking aside, if you arrive after the ceremony has begun, our venue staff may ask you to wait in the lobby until the ceremony concludes to ensure a seamless and uninterrupted experience for everyone. The ceremony is a sacred and cherished moment for us, and we deeply appreciate your understanding and support in helping us make it special for all. Thank you!

Question

Where will the reception take place?

Answer

The reception will take place in the Cromaine Hall at Waldenwoods Banquet Center. Cocktail hour will be from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. with a sparkler grand entrance for the bride and groom around 5:15 p.m. When you arrive at Waldenwoods, please buzz in at the front gate, then follow the signs that say "Wedding and Events." You will pull up to a white building with a green roof. Please enter from the door off the parking lot. There will be signs! There is ample parking at the reception venue around Cromaine Hall. Cromaine Hall at Waldenwoods Banquet Center Address: 2975 Old Us-23, Howell, MI 48855

Question

Will there be transportation from the ceremony location to the reception location?

Answer

Transportation will not be provided between the ceremony and reception locations. Please plan accordingly to ensure a smooth transition between venues.

Question

What's the food situation?

Answer

Delicious and plentiful! You'll be able to choose your entree when you RSVP. Come hungry, but maybe have a snack before the ceremony.

Question

Will there be dancing?

Answer

Yes, and we expect you to bring your best (or worst) moves!

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Clothes are definitely encouraged—something you feel good in! Think 'celebration-ready' without overthinking it. Wear what makes you comfortable and happy. Just one little favor: let’s leave the white dresses for the bride. Can’t wait to see you looking fabulous your way!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Only if they promise to be fun—just kidding! Due to space and budget, our guest list is limited. If your invitation specifies a guest, you’re welcome to bring a date. Otherwise, we can’t wait to celebrate with just you!

Question

Can I bring my kids?

Answer

We adore your little ones, but our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. Take this opportunity to enjoy a night out—we can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

Answer

We'd love for you to be present in the moment. Let our photographer do her thing-then feel free to snap away at the reception!

Question

Are you registered somewhere?

Answer

Yes, we’re registered! But honestly, your presence (and showing off your best moves on the dance floor) is the greatest gift of all. You can find all the registry details on the 'Registry' tab at the top of our wedding website.
