FAQs
Question
What time is the reception????
Answer
Technically it starts at 6:30...we can't figure out how to fix your RSVP confirmation emails, but if you get there at 6 that is totally fine, we will not kick you out.
Question
Is everyone invited to both the ceremony and the reception?
Answer
We decided we needed a very small and private ceremony because we're shy as hell, but there are so many people we love and want to celebrate with. Everyone is invited to come eat, drink, and dance with us at the reception!
Question
What are the addresses of the wedding ceremony and reception venues?
Answer
Both the ceremony and reception will be held at: Blackhawk Park 1629 Murphy Pkwy Eagan, MN 55122
Question
Is it wheelchair accessible?
Answer
Yes! There's a paved walkway from the parking lot to the park pavilion. The bathrooms are also in this area so no rolling over grass is necessary. There's no button to automatically open the doors, but there is a larger stall with hand rails.
Question
Will your wedding be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
Everything is outdoors at a covered park pavilion. Make sure to check the weather before you pack, Minnesota in October can be pretty unpredictable. The temperature averages anywhere from 51 to 75° F. We'll have a bonfire going after sunset.
Question
Are there any other events this weekend?
Answer
There is a brunch for out-of-town guests on Saturday that will show up and give you all the details when you RSVP.
Question
If I can't come, should I hesitate to RSVP 'no' because it feels kinda rude?
Answer
This one's for our midwestern friends ;) Nope! It is totally fine, we still love you, promise. Just respond either way as soon as you can, no weird or hard feelings.

Will Gucci be attending the wedding?
Answer
An excellent and very important question. No, unfortunately, she will not be there as she really likes to poop in cars and that doesn't bode well for our wedding attire.
