We'd love to see our family and friends dressed up for our big day. We are requesting cocktail attire (semi-formal) for the evening. We ask to avoid colors traditionally reserved for the bride (whites, ivories, and creams) and colors worn by the wedding party (dark greens).
Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP online. Thank you for understanding!
As much as we love your little ones, we have decided to keep our wedding and reception an adult-only (21+) event, with the exception of our flower girl. We hope you understand and enjoy the night off, as we can't wait to celebrate with you!
The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will all be held on-site at The Krippendorf Lodge at The Cincinnati Nature Center.
To help us with our planning, please RSVP to the event as soon as possible. However, the deadline is July 23rd, 2025. If we don't receive your RSVP by this date, we cannot make exceptions and will have to mark you as 'no.' We need to provide the venue with a total guest count in a timely manner and we hope you can understand.
No, but suggestions for nearby hotels are listed on the "Travel" page. Air BnB, Vrbo, and other sites also have nearby accommodations available.
There is ample parking available on-site, at the Krippendorf Lodge. The parking lot is a short walk from the building and outdoor spaces.
Yes! Feel free to leave your car at the venue overnight if needed. Vehicles must be picked up by noon on Sunday, August 10th.
Yes! The drinks are on us and the hangover is on you - get ready to party!
Yes, but the Krippendorf's stone terrace is 100% covered with a large custom-designed awning, allowing for views into the surrounding forest. There is a large wrap-around porch, and the inside of the building is air-conditioned. Overhead fans will circulate air, but it may be warm in early August, so please stay hydrated and dress accordingly.
We ask that you kindly put your phones and cameras away during the ceremony as we want you all to be present with us in the moment. We have two professional photographers capturing the ceremony for us. Other than the ceremony, please feel free to take as many photos and videos as you like!
