Will There Be Opportunities For Phone Pictures?

We are having an unplugged ceremony, however, there will be a moment that’s announced by Barry (our officiant) or Piper (the photographer) when you will be invited to bring phones out for photos of the couple, then we ask that phones are silenced, put, and kept away so the photographers can do their job.

What is The Bridal Party Wearing, and What Should I Wear?

The bridal party attire is pretty unique! My matron of honor is wearing emerald green, my maid of honor will be wearing a deep purple, and the other three special ladies are wearing a moss-like green, a mauve, and a beautiful sage green. The groomsmen will be in tan suits with corresponding tie colors to the lady they are paired with. The main colors of the wedding are brown neutrals and emerald green. If you are looking for some help with what to wear, I suggest wearing neutral fall colors, with a bit of a garden party with a rustic twist! We can't wait to celebrate with all of you beautiful people.

If Writing a Check Who Do I Make It Out to?

For those who plan to write us a check, please make it out to just “Darby Nicholson”, just “Chad Eilers” or “Chad Eilers or Darby Nicholson” so the banks give us no problems! Thank you!

What Time Should I Arrive?

The ceremony will begin at 4, please arrive around 15-30 minutes before then to allow for parking, socializing and finding your seats.

Where Do I Park?

There is plenty of parking on site at the venue, there will be someone directing where to park. But please, if you plan on drinking plan to have a DD, Lyft, or Uber take those not staying at the venue to and from the hotel.

Can I Take Pictures With/Of the Couple?

We have spent a lot of time and money choosing and amazing photographer to capture our day. We will give guests a moment to take a photo pre ceremony but then will have an unplugged ceremony. At the reception we will have a QR code to upload any photos you take as a “digital camera” so photos taken can be immediately enjoyed by others!

Will there be favors?

Yes, the bride collected vases over the last 2.5 years for center pieces. They will have dried florals in them and at the end the vases that are NOT labeled with a gold star are free for people to take with them. Florals and all
