What should I wear?

I'd say cocktail attire, nothing too formal! Midi dresses, short dresses, long dresses, or jumpsuits! Really whatever your heart desires. For the gentlemen, suit & tie please! :)

What should I do in between the ceremony and cocktail?

There will be about 3-3.5 hours between the ceremony and cocktail hour. We recommend grabbing some appetizers and drinks. You could also stop by the STL Arch which is super close! Or take a nap!

Are kids invited?

Sorry, but besides our ring bearers, this is a kid-free weekend!

What is the parking situation?

Parking for the ceremony and reception will be validated. If you leave in between you will just need to make sure you get two different validation tickets! The Marriott parking garage is located at 419 N Ninth St, St. Louis, MO 63101. The cost of overnight parking is $35. Validated tickets will be near the 'In Loving Memory' photos at the ceremony and at the bars during the reception!

What should I wear to the welcome reception?

The welcome reception will be from 8-10 PM at a local brewery, Schlafly - please feel pretty to wear jeans/nice top or casual dress. No need to dress up!

I need an early check-in on Saturday (or Friday), is there anything I can do?!

I've reached out to the Marriott, and they are aware there will be people asking for an early check-in so they will try to accommodate this (but not guaranteed). If you want, you can call the Marriott and ask for a guaranteed early check-in, this will run you about $35!

How can I guarantee a King room or a Double room since I did not have the option when I booked?

I am hoping the Marriott will give those with a 2-party reservation a King room and those with a 4-party reservation a Double room... but they said they cannot 100% guarantee this, so if you feel strongly about what room you get, please text me at (314)249-6837 with the request and I will tell the Marriott (this is their solution as well).

I'm buying a dress and don't want to get the same color as the bridesmaids...

Head over to the photos tab and there is a picture of the color! It is "French Blue." I know I always worry about this, so wanted to let everyone know!

There is a marathon downtown the day of the wedding?!

Unfortunately yes... the route does not seem to be affected 44 to Washington Ave, so when in doubt please take that way!
