Question
Do you have a registry?
Answer
We don't plan to do a traditional registry because we already have enough stuff and your presence at our wedding is more than enough! However, if you still really would like to give a gift, we would love a contribution to our honeymoon fund and to our charitable donation fund, which you can find a link to at the top of this page.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Semi-formal attire is great! Sundresses, jumpsuits, midi dresses, suits, blazers, button downs, etc are all good options. Our ceremony will be outside in the morning so please dress accordingly. You don't have to, but if you'd like to coordinate for family photos, our colors are dusty rose, lavender, mauve, blush pink, and sage green.
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
Please arrive around 10:30/10:45 so you can get settled before the ceremony starts at 11.
Question
Am I allowed to take photos at your wedding?
Answer
We kindly ask that you do not take photos during the ceremony. Our photographer will take care of all of that and you can just sit back and be present in the moment with us! Any other time of the day feel free to take photos as long as you are not disrupting the photographer.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony?
Answer
Parking is available at the Covenant Presbyterian Church parking lot, which is just across the street from Morningside Park.
Question
What if I have to go to the bathroom when at the ceremony venue?
Answer
Unfortunately our ceremony does not have a bathroom of any kind on site. Our ceremony will be quite short, so please try to use the restroom ahead of time. We will have rooms reserved at the nearby DoubleTree hotel if you need to head there to use the restroom before/after the ceremony.
Question
What if it rains?
Answer
First of all, don't jinx it. But if it does rain during the ceremony, which is outdoors, we will have umbrellas provided. Everything else is inside!
Question
What are we doing between the ceremony and the reception dinner?
Answer
Immediately after the ceremony we will have family and group photos taken. Please be sure to join us for that! Afterwards, we will be having a low-key afternoon getting lunch/drinks at Big Lake Brewing. You are welcome to join us or feel free to rest and recharge before our 5 p.m. dinnertime.
Question
Is there an after party?
Answer
Yes, we plan to hang out in downtown Holland after our dinner reception until we get tired. Which, honestly will probably be around 9:30 p.m.

Answer
If you're coming into town for the wedding, let us know when you're arriving and departing - we'd love to spend extra time with you while you're here!
