Please RSVP no later than June 1st. If we do not receive your RSVP by this date we will assume you are unable to attend.
What is the attire?
We ask that our guests wear semi-formal/cocktail attire. Please no denim and avoid shades of white. The ceremony and reception will be inside with air conditioning, while cocktail hour will take place outside on the East Lawn if you would like to layer accordingly. In the event of inclement weather, cocktail hour will take place in the Binnacle next to the Ballroom.
Can I bring a date?
If your guest's name or "and Guest" is listed on your invite and when you RSVP, then yes! If not, we prefer just you join us. Weddings are a very special day and we would like to keep our day as intimate as possible with close family and friends.
Can we bring our children?
This will be an adults-only celebration. If your invitation is addressed to "and Family", please bring them along. If not, we encourage you to use this as a date night! We look forward to celebrating with you!
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Our ceremony will begin promptly at 3pm. We suggest arriving by at least 2:30pm so you can comfortably park, find a set, and settle in before we say "I do"! Parking is minimal near the Grosse Pointe Academy Chapel entrance, so please feel free to utilize the St. Paul Catholic Church parking lot right next door, or other areas of the GPA campus.
What if I RSVP "Yes" and can no longer attend?
We understand that plans change. If you RSVP "Yes" and can no longer make it, please contact one of us to let us know so we can adjust our catering count and seating arrangements.
Can I take pictures/videos during the ceremony?
We will be having an "unplugged" ceremony. This means we ask that all cellphones and devices are silenced and put away in order to be fully present and enjoy this moment with us. We have hired professional photographers and videographers to capture our special day. After the ceremony has concluded, we encourage you to take as many photos as possible throughout the remaining celebrations and please share them with us!
Will there be parking at the reception?
There will be complimentary valet and self-parking available at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club. Once you arrive at the front gate, you will be directed towards the entrance of the club where you can valet or park your vehicle in the lot. If you plan to leave your vehicle at the club overnight, the self-park option would be easiest. You can return for your vehicle the next day.
