Are children welcome?

While we love your little ones, our wedding is going to be an adults-only event so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the children at home so you can celebrate with us.

Can I bring a date?

We have a tight guest list to stay on budget. Our wedding is strictly RSVP only. We will only be able to accommodate those listed on your invitation.

Do you have a hotel block for guests? Where do you recommend I stay?

We have a hotel block at the Grandstay in Cannon Falls, MN. This hotel is only about a 7 minute drive from the wedding venue. This is the only hotel that we are providing transportation for. We have another hotel block at the AmericInn in Northfield, MN. This hotel is roughly 20 minutes away from the wedding venue. For both hotels, please call to book under the Kermes/Hare Wedding Block.

When is the RSVP deadline? Do I need to mail back my RSVP or can I do it online?

The RSVP deadline is August 14, 2024. Please RSVP via our wedding website.

Will food and drinks be served at the reception? What kind of food?

We will provide an open bar with beer, seltzers, and wine. We will also have multiple non-alcoholic options & coffee. You are welcome to pay at the bar if you would like to have any spirits.

Will there be any vegan/vegetarian/gluten free/special diet options?

Please make sure to mark on your RSVP if you have any dietary restrictions and we will work with our caterer to find delicious food options that works for you!

Where are you registered?

Our preferred wedding "gift" are any donations that can go towards our honeymoon and our down payment on a house. We are also currently registered on Target and Amazon under Kermes-Hare Wedding.

Will transportation be provided between to/from the hotel?

There will be shuttles taking guests from the Grandstay in Cannon Falls and the Cannon River Winery directly up to the ceremony location. There will also be buses that will take guests home during the reception back to the Grand Stay. If you are staying at the AmericInn, you will need to drive directly to the wedding venue in order to take the bus to our ceremony location.

May I take a centerpiece/candle/flowers home as a souvenir?

A lot of our decorations were borrowed from family and friends that would like these items returned so we ask that these items stay inside the reception area so they can be returned. Thank you for understanding!

Is there parking available near your wedding venue?

There is a parking lot at the Cannon River Winery that guests are welcome to park at. If you decide to drive to the venue, there will be a bus that will take guests up to the vineyard for the ceremony and cocktail hour, if weather permits. Guests are not allowed to drive themselves directly up to the vineyards.

What time will your wedding reception end?

Last call for the bar will be at 11:30pm.

I have more questions about your wedding, who can I contact?

Please feel free to text Angela if you have any additional questions at 612-805-3425. Please refrain from reaching out the day of the wedding. Thank you!

Can I take pictures throughout the ceremony/reception?

In order to insure we are all fully present, we will be an "unplugged'" ceremony. We request that you turn off/silence all phones during the ceremony. We have hired an amazing photographer to capture this special moment and we would be happy to send you any pictures upon request! During cocktail hour and the reception, please feel free to take as many pictures as you would like!
