We are pleased to welcome guests the night before the wedding with cocktails and small bites at the Grand Hotel on the west front porch. All guests are welcome. The event will end promptly at 10pm.

Please note the venue requires formal attire. Men MUST wear a coat and tie and women should wear formal slacks or a dress.

The reception will be two doors down from the Ceremony (the white house two doors to the right if you are facing the Island House) at our family's home. Please note that the reception will be outside on the lawn, so bring a jacket and avoid pointy heels.

Following the reception, guests aged 21 or older are invited to join us on a booze cruise in Lake Huron under the Mackinac bridge. There will be snacks and dancing. We'll disembark from the Starline dock next to the Chippewa Hotel at 10:30pm, and will return at midnight.

Please note that the 21 and older rule is firm and applies to all guests.
