We are asking that you RSVP no later than July 1st, 2024.
No transportation is needed between events, everything is at the Nationwide Hotel & Conference Center (its own little campus)! Once you park, everything is within a short walking distance. The ceremony is in the hotel courtyard. After, guests will walk up the aisle straight to the patio and indoor space of the Edgewater building for cocktail hour followed by the reception. After the reception at 11 pm, guests can walk right next door to the Pub.
There is ample free parking available at the venue. There are two main parking lots, one outside of the hotel entrance and another right outside the Edgewater building where the reception will be held.
We have a room block at our venue, the Nationwide Hotel & Conference Center. Please see the page titled "Hotel" for more information on how to reserve your room.
We will have an unplugged ceremony, meaning we ask that guests are not taking pictures with their phones during the ceremony. We have a professional photographer, Alayna Parker, who will be taking all the needed pictures. Of course, guests are welcome to take as many pictures as they'd like before and after the ceremony!
Yes!
Dinner will have a chicken option, steak option, and vegetarian option. Please indicate which you would like when you RSVP. Chicken option: Chicken saltimbocca (airline chicken breast stuffed with Italian cheeses, prosciutto, fresh herbs and a white wine cream sauce) with cheese tortellini and green beans on the side. Steak option: Classic filet mignon with a port wine demi and crispy onions with cheese tortellini and green beans on the side. Vegetarian option: Cheese tortellini with roasted vegetables, asiago, balsamic reduction and a nut-free pesto.
The cake will be red velvet with cream cheese frosting and chocolate ganache wrapped in vanilla buttercream, the bride & groom's favorite!
The dress code is semi-formal but please wear whatever makes you comfortable!
Our wedding colors are plum purple, bright red, and hot pink. Bridesmaids will be wearing plum purple dresses.
Our reception officially ends at 11pm. Luckily though, the Nationwide Hotel & Conference center has its own pub just feet away. Guests are welcome to head to the Pub following the reception!
