We would love to see our family and friends get dressed up with us! Our dress code is cocktail attire. Please no jeans, sweatpants, or leggings. All wedding events will take place indoors with plenty of air conditioning.
We love all our friend's and family's children! However, due to space restrictions we cannot accommodate children on our wedding day. We encourage you to use this evening to have a fun date night!
Due to the limited space of our venue, we are unable to accommodate plus ones unless specifically indicated on your invitation. For example, if you have a plus one, your address will be listed as "Mr./Miss XYZ and Guest". Additionally, when you RSVP and type your name in, you will see if you have a plus one! We want to share in the celebration and this will ensure that we are surrounded by our close friends and family. We hope you understand!
We have made the decision to have only immediate family at our wedding Ceremony. While we would like to keep this as small as possible, we are looking forward to sharing the rest of our evening with everyone at the reception! If you are invited to the Ceremony, there will be an option to respond for both the Ceremony and Reception on your RSVP.
For family, the ceremony will start promptly at 2:00 PM. We ask that you arrive 15-20 minutes before! Cocktail hour will begin at 5:00 PM. We ask that you arrive no later than 5:30 PM before the wedding party entrances.
In order to ensure that we are all fully present, we will be having an "unplugged" ceremony. We request that you turn off/silence all phones during the ceremony. We have hired an amazing photography team to capture this special moment and we would be happy to send you any pictures you request! During cocktail hour and the reception, please feel free to take as many pictures as you would like!
We will provide a full open bar with spirits, beer, cocktails, and a selection of red & white wines. We will also have multiple non-alcoholic options & coffee.
The Goei Center offers free, on-site parking! Our #1 priority is having our guests avoid unsafe situations. If you are planning on drinking, Grand Rapids has plenty of ride share options like Lyft and Uber to utlitize!
