5:30 pm - 6:00 pm
Semi-Formal: Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses. Floral sundresses and nice sandals also welcome! We will be near the beach :)
The venue will be open to guests starting at 5pm, as the Rockport Art Association is an active museum that does not close until then! There are several sights near the venue, so we encourage you to arrive in the area early to ensure you are in the right spot. Late arrivals may have to stand in the back!
6:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Come celebrate with us! There will be dancing, music, and lots of food and cake. There will be an open bar, but we encourage guests who are trying to decrease their alcohol consumption to partake in our signature mocktail option! Meal options courtesy of Vinwood Caterers. Also, Walter and Alison have been taking salsa lessons, so they are excited to share a performance with you!
10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Casual Attire: Anything goes, from sundresses and sandals to jeans and tees. / Vestimenta informal: todo vale, desde vestidos de verano y sandalias hasta jeans y camisetas.
Please join us for a casual open house brunch on Sunday morning. Before you head out, stop by to say goodbye, and grab a coffee and a bite to eat! This event is casual - you can come and go at any time in the window. We would like to acknowledge and thank Alison's aunt and uncle, Sharon Carpenter and Chris Foerstner, for hosting this event. We would also like to thank Alison's parents, Lisa and John Smith for offering their lodging (with permission) as a location to host! As a reminder, parking is limited in the area, and we will not have parking spots or a shuttle reserved for this event like we will for the wedding. Please plan accordingly! Afterwards, we encourage you to explore Cape Ann! See the Things to Do page.
