Wedding Ceremony
2:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Black Tie
We kindly ask that you join us in your finest attire, despite the casual setting. To avoid matching the wedding party, please refrain from wearing red, white, cream, ivory, or champagne-colored dresses. As the ceremony will be held on the grass, we recommend against wearing stilettos for comfort and ease. Loosen your tie, loose the jacket, and change your shoes once the ceremony ends, if your heart desires!
Wedding Party Photos/Cocktail Hour
3:45 pm - 4:45 pm
Neoga, IL 62447
After the ceremony, we invite you to take your assigned chair and bring it to the reception area, where you can begin enjoying a self-serve cocktail hour and snacks. While the wedding party is having photos taken, feel free to indulge in a selection of cocktails, including a martini bar, coffee, and wine—available in limited quantities. If you prefer, you’re welcome to bring your own beer or favorite drink. We will have coolers available, but feel free to bring your own stocked up! The evening will seamlessly transition into the grand entrance of the Wedding Party, followed by a delicious dinner, heartfelt speeches, and dancing.
Reception (Dinner & Dancing)
5:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Join us for a relaxed and joyful celebration in our backyard, where the evening will unfold with fun and countless opportunities to create lasting memories. Dance the night away on the driveway beneath the stars, or, if you're feeling adventurous, enjoy an optional karaoke session and share your talents with us. For a cozier experience, head to the upper deck, where a crackling fire pit awaits—perfect for roasting s’mores and enjoying quiet moments. If you're seeking a more tranquil setting, we’ve also set up peaceful deck areas for you to unwind and soak in the serene atmosphere. Whether you’re dancing, singing, or simply relaxing, there’s something for everyone to enjoy!
