We kindly ask that you RSVP using the QR code within the invitation by August 4, 2025. This will allow us to give our vendors a final head count prior to the wedding. If we have not received your RSVP by the due date, we will mark you as "not attending."
We are excited to celebrate with our closest family and friends. Due to the venue capacity, we are unable to accommodate additional guests. Please scan the QR code on the RSVP card to view the specific guests who are invited. If you have any questions, please contact the bride or groom for clarification.
We'd love for our guest to join us in semi-formal attire. Gentlemen, please wear a suit or a dress shirt, dress pants, and tie. Ladies, a mid-length cocktail dress or dressy separates would be ideal. Please refrain from wearing jeans or other casual attire. Out of respect for the bride, please avoid wearing white.
We kindly ask that all guest arrive by 1:15 pm to be seated for the ceremony to ensure a timely start.
We invite you to be fully present with us during our ceremony. Please turn off all cellphones and cameras to enjoy this moment with us. We have hired a fabulous photographer and videographer to capture our special day and will gladly share the moments with you all at a later date.
If driving to the reception venue (The Gateway Building), there is public parking available in the CAT lot to the northeast kitty-corner of the Gateway Building. At the Pere Marquette Hotel, there is an attached parking garage. The daily parking rate at the hotel is $15.
We apologize for the inconvenience but the room block for the wedding is full. However, there are still plenty of rooms available at the Pere Marquette so please book before the rooms fill up. Please visit the "travel" tab for the hotel website link.
It is a 1/2 mile walk from the Pere Marquette Hotel to the Gateway Building (reception venue). We have secured A Touch of Class Limousine Service to provide a 14-passenger shuttle van to transport our guests to and from the venue. The shuttle will transport guests from the hotel to the venue from 3:45-5 PM and then will transport guests from the venue back to the hotel from 8:45-11:15 PM.
We recommend guest check into their hotel during this time to freshen up. There are also plenty of places to get drinks downtown near the venue. Martinis On Water Street Matilda's Cocktail Lounge Hoops Pub Kelleher's Irish Pub The Missing Zither Saffron Social
