We chose to host our wedding at a hotel for ease of travel for all of our guests! We encourage you to join us by staying at The Confluence or one of the many walkable Downtown Hastings AirBnBs.

We won’t be formally requesting RSVPs until closer to the wedding date, but if you received a Save the Date and already know you won’t be able to attend, please email us at thegermscheids@gmail.com. This isn’t required but would be appreciated, as it would help with our planning. We’ll miss you!!
