Yes! We love kids and look forward to learning all the ~cool~ new dance moves from them during the reception. If you'd prefer a night off, though, that's great! Please let us know if you need help coordinating a babysitter.
We have decided to forego booking a hotel block because many of our guests are (or have family) local to Cleveland. There are many nearby lodging options (including Airbnb and Vrbo) available at different price-points. Please check our "Lodging" page for a list of recommended Inns, Bed & Breakfasts, and Hotels--all located under a 10 minute drive from our wedding venue. We recommend booking in advance as our wedding falls on a holiday weekend.
We ask that each of our adult guests are fully vaccinated (vaccination and booster) for COVID-19 prior to our wedding. Additionally, we ask that each guest pass an at-home rapid test prior to the weekend for added precaution.
Our wedding is "Black Tie Optional." Tuxedos are welcome, though not required. A formal suit and tie is great, too! Dress options range from a cocktail dress to a long evening gown or a formal jumpsuit. Black Tie Optional is formal, but with fewer rules and a bit more flare.
Some parking is available behind the venue and there is plenty of free street parking adjacent to the building. The reception will offer an open bar, so ride share services (Uber & Lyft) for safe arrival and departure are highly encouraged. Transportation, such as a shuttle service, will not be provided.
It's never too early to let us know you're planning to party with us! If you need a deadline, though, please RSVP online by July 20th.
Our ceremony begins at 4:30 p.m. and Gordon Green (our venue) will open thirty minutes prior.
