The ceremony will take place in the church. The reception will be held on the church property in an enclosed outdoor tent with heat in case of inclement weather.
Michigan in mid-autumn is often chilly. We recommend checking the forecast as the day gets closer and planning to bring layers accordingly. Keep in mind that the ceremony will be indoors and the reception will be in a heated tent.
This is a family event and we would absolutely love it if your children are able to attend! The church has a nursery with some children's activities, cribs, changing tables, etc. and there will be outdoor games and activities for kids during the reception.
We have not booked any specific hotel blocks but there are some suggestions of where to stay on the travel page. Feel free to reach out with further questions concerning lodging!
If you are able to RSVP on the website that would be preferred.
We ask that guests RSVP by September 20th on the RSVP page of the website. Thank you!
Our location is rural, but is near the small town of Hastings MI, and not far from the cities of Lansing, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, and Battle Creek MI.
We are of course happy to accept gifts at the wedding and we will have a table available for those who wish to bring them. However, as we will be living in VA, it would be more convenient for us if gifts are sent to the registered address (Carey House: 505 Benforest Dr, Severna Park, MD 21146).
All announcements will be both posted here on our site and will also be distributed electronically through email.
