When should i RSVP by?
To help us plan, please RSVP to Bri VIA text at 989-324-9414, by October 1st, 2025. If we do not receive an RSVP from you by that time, we will sadly have to mark you as "not attending". We hope you understand, being we need to provide the venue and catering service with the correct amount of people in a timely manner.
What time should i arrive to the ceremony?
We recommend arriving at least 20 minutes early to make sure you have time to find the location and take your seats, so that we can begin on time. There will be limited seating at the ceremony for immediate family and a few extra for those of you who arrive early. If there are no seats available, you may stand behind the chairs. Attending the ceremony is not required, so feel free to just join us for the reception!
Are the ceremony and reception at the same place?
No! The ceremony will be held outdoor, weather permitting, and start at 2:00pm at the Pine River Golf Course, 2244 Pine River Rd, Standish MI 48658. The reception will then take place indoor at the Estey Hall, 4013 Estey Rd, Rhodes MI 48652. Cocktail hour will begin at 4:30 and dinner will follow.
Can I bring a guest?
Unless there is a plus one specifically on your invitation, we are not allowing extra guests to attend. Please understand that we have a limited amount of space to accommodate all of our loved ones.
Can I bring my kid?
Since we are having an open bar, we prefer no kids at the reception. If you cannot find arrangements and need your little ones to tag along, let us know and we can accommodate for them!
Can i take pictures at the ceremony?
We ask that our ceremony be "unplugged", meaning no phones or cameras present. We will have a professional photographer taking pictures at this time, and to avoid the eye sore of cell phones being held up in the background, we will share all of the photos taken by our photographer as soon as we receive them! As for the reception, feel free to take as many pictures and videos as you'd like, and please share them with us through text, or use the hashtag #schlink2025 when sharing the photos on Instagram or Facebook!
Will there be food?
Yes! There will be charcuterie and snacks spread out during cocktail hour followed by a buffet style dinner, and lots of desserts!
Will there be an open bar?
Yes! Please drink on us, but we ask that you please keep your own limits in mind during the reception!
Is there a dress code?
We ask that you wear formal/cocktail attire. The ceremony will be outdoors, and the reception is indoors, so dress accordingly!
