Q + A
Parking
There is a parking lot behind the Pique Travel event space that is free for all guests. If that is full there is free parking in the Excelsior Brewing parking lot. There is also free street parking in downtown Excelsior, all within walking distance of the wedding venue.
Bringing a plus one
If your invitation did not include a plus one, and you would like to bring somebody, please reach out to us directly. Please do not bring any guests that are not included in your invitation without speaking with us first. There is very limited seating at the wedding venue so if there is somebody else you would like to bring please let us know sooner rather than later.
What are the drink options?
There will be a range of sodas, sparkling waters, and juices available. There will also be an open bar with a variety of alcoholic options. The company that is serving our alcohol has a strict NO SHOTS policy. There will be hard liquor available to add to a mixed drink.
What are the food options?
For the adults, there will be a buffet-style dinner which will include baked chicken tetrazzini, wild rice dusted walleye, fresh garden salad, and sides of potatoes and vegetables.
There is also an option for a kid's meal! The kid's meal includes chicken tenders, mac and cheese, an applesauce cup, celery sticks, and carrot sticks. If you would like a kid's meal please contact us directly.
What does cocktail attire mean?
For the men, a suit is perfect with or without a tie. Jeans are too casual, but a tuxedo is too formal.
For the ladies, either a dress or a nice blouse and formal pants would work well. Tennis shoes are too casual but don't feel like you have to wear high heels either.
What's most important to us is that you feel comfortable and are able to have fun in whatever you decide to wear!
