FAQs

Question

Are the ceremony and reception at the same location?

Answer

Yes; The Summit Room on the 5th floor of the hotel is overlooking the Mississippi River! During the holiday season it apparently looks like a Hallmark movie ;)

Question

What if I accidentally bought an item from your list not through the registry or website?

Answer

Please let Jordan or Liz know through our email bowerscoffing@gmail.com so we can check off that item and not receive duplicates! Also, please make sure to attach/save a receipt in case this occurs. There is an option to click "purchased" before buying an item on the Amazon registry.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

It’s NYE, so dress it up with the glitz and glam if you’d like, or come as you feel comfortable! Our color scheme is black, silver, and gold. The bridesmaids are wearing an off-the-shoulder silver and sparkly dress and the groomsman are wearing a black suit, black shirt and black bow ties with white pocket squares.

Question

When should I arrive?

Answer

Please plan accordingly due to winter weather. We recommend that you arrive at least 30 minutes to 1 hour before the start of the ceremony to make sure everyone is on time, explore the hotel, and get the party started as scheduled!

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

Answer

We want our ceremony to be "unplugged," and for all guests to be in the present moment with us during this special time. Please refrain from taking pictures or videos during our ceremony. Our officiant will also remind everyone of this in the beginning of our ceremony. That's what our photographer and videographer are for!

Question

Will the reception last past midnight due to it being NYE?

Answer

Stay with us to watch the ball drop on the big screen, enjoy some champagne, and make some noise! The party ends at 12:30am and we will have a sparkler send off downstairs outside at 12:45am.

Question

Will transportation be provided to other hotels?

Answer

There is no shuttle service provided. Uber, Lyft, and Taxi Services are also available in the area but may be limited and costly as it is NYE. You can park your car in the parking ramp overnight even if you're not staying at the hotel (parking is free). It is also recommended to carpool! Otherwise if you're staying at the venue, stumble upstairs ;) We love you so please... BE WISE and Don't Drink and Drive!
