Our plan A is for the ceremony to be outdoors! So please dress accordingly for that :) If the weather is bad, plan B for ceremony will be indoors where the reception will take place!
Attire is semi-formal/cocktail and please remember to bring a jacket for the outdoor ceremony!
During Cocktail Hour: Shuttle pick up at Best Western - 3:30pm Shuttle drop off at venue - 4:00pm Shuttle pick up at AmericInn - 4:30pm Shuttle drop off at venue - 4:45pm Headed Back Early: Shuttle to AmericInn - 8:00pm Shuttle to Best Western - 9:00pm Shuttle to Best Western - 10:00pm We Stayed For The Last Dance: Shuttle pick up at venue - 11:15pm Shuttle drop off at AmericInn - 11:30pm Shuttle drop off at Best Western - 12:00pm
All guests will need to arrive to ceremony in own vehicles. After the ceremony, we will have a long cocktail hour to allow enough time for guests to go check into their hotel and/or for guests (who plan to use the transportation services at the end of the night) to drop off their car at the hotel. The shuttle will first pick up guests from the Best Western in Marshalltown, so if that is your hotel you will need to leave after the ceremony, get to the hotel, check-in and/or drop off your car, and be ready to hop on the 3:30pm shuttle back to the venue. After dropping the Best Western guests off to the venue the shuttle will head up to the AmericInn in Grundy Center to pick up guests. If you are staying at the AmericInn you need to get to the hotel, check-in and/or drop off your car, and be ready to hop on the 4:30pm shuttle back to the venue. For those who love their sleep and plan to head back early a shuttle will run to and from each hotel around 8:00/9:00pm. A final shuttle will run at the end of the night to drop guests off at the AmericInn first and the Best Western last.
Hotel check-in is at 3:00pm and our ceremony is at 2:00pm. This means if you plan to check in before the ceremony you will need to request an early check-in with your hotel. Otherwise there will be enough time during cocktail hour from 3:00pm - 5:00pm for you to leave and check-in to your hotel after the ceremony.
There will be music, drinks, hors d'oeuvres and yard games for you to enjoy!
