Question

Are the ceremony and reception at the same location?

Answer

Yes! Both our ceremony and reception will be held on the 3rd floor of The Teachout Building. 500 E Locust St, Des Moines, IA 50309. There is an elevator for those who cannot take the stairs.

Question

May I bring a plus one?

Answer

If you were given a plus one, it will be shown when you RSVP. To keep the celebration intimate and limited space, we unfortunately are not able to offer a plus one to everyone.

Question

May I bring my children?

Answer

While we love your little ones, please use this night as an excuse to get out and enjoy a date night! We respectfully ask that you not bring your children as we are limited on space. The only children that will be in attendance are immediate family members.

Question

What is semi-formal?

Answer

Our wedding is semi-formal attire. Come in the most fun colors and sparkles! Think fancy pizza party! Semi-formal = classy but not stuffy! Think cocktail or floor length dresses or sharp suits. Men: suit or blazer with dress pants, button-up shirt, and nice shoes. Women: stylish dress, pant suit or jumpsuit, heels or dressy flats. Please use this night as a reason to dress up and enjoy a night out! We ask that you refrain from wearing jeans or white/cream. When in doubt, dress it up!
