Question

Where is the wedding taking place?

Answer

The entire weekend will be hosted at Baker Hill, a beautiful private home on 10 acres in Manhattan, IL. All events—from welcome gatherings to the ceremony and reception—will take place on-site.

Question

Who is staying at the house?

Answer

The home sleeps up to 30 guests, and we've reserved it exclusively for our immediate family and wedding party from Friday to Sunday. All other guests are encouraged to check the “Travel & Lodging” section on this site for nearby hotel options.

Question

When should I arrive and leave?

Answer

Our wedding party and immediate family is welcome to join us starting Friday afternoon, with festivities running through Sunday morning. If you're not staying on the property, be sure to plan transportation accordingly. All other guests are warmly invited to join us on Saturday for the ceremony and reception. Specific times will be listed on your invitation. Please plan to arrive a little early to park and settle in!

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Dress code: We’re asking guests to dress in semi-formal attire—think elevated, but comfortable enough to enjoy the outdoors. Since it’s mid-June, embrace the season with bright, joyful colors like pinks, oranges, yellows, and other bold, summery tones! Note: Events will take place outdoors on grass and gravel, so please wear comfortable shoes.

Question

Is there parking at the venue?

Answer

Yes! There’s ample parking at Baker Hill. We still encourage carpooling where possible, especially if you’re attending with other local guests.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Yes! Baker Hill is very kid-friendly. There’s an entire kids’ zone inside the barn with jump houses, a jungle gym, and a gymnastics area. Adults can relax nearby in the lounge while keeping an eye on little ones.

Question

What entertainment is available during the weekend?

Answer

Plenty! The barn features a full adult lounge with a bar, projector screen, pool table, and poker table. Outdoors, there’s a fire pit and even an 18-hole mini golf course. Be ready to relax and play!

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Please refer to your invitation for guest details. We’re keeping our weekend intimate, so plus ones are only included where noted.

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

We’re having an unplugged ceremony and ask that you refrain from taking photos until the reception.
