A SHUTTLE WILL BE RUNNING EVERY HOUR STARTING AT 9PM - 11:45PM, FROM THE RECEPTION TO THE HILTON DOWNTOWN DES MOINES. WE WANT OUR GUESTS TO HAVE FUN AND LET LOOSE, BUT MOSTLY WE WANT OUR GUESTS TO GET HOME SAFELY AFTER OUR CELEBRATION!

Question
CAN I BRING A DATE?
Answer
WE ARE WANTING THIS DAY TO BE SPECIAL WITH OUR VERY BEST FRIENDS AND FAMILY - SO IF YOUR INVITATION DID NOT SPECIFY A GUEST, PLEASE DO NOT BRING ONE. WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO SPEND TIME WITH AND TALK TO ALL OF OUR GUESTS - BRINGING EXTRA PEOPLE WILL MAKE THAT DIFFICULT!
