Q + A

Are my children Included in my invitation?

Unfortunately no, we love and cherish your little ones, but we’ve decided to make our wedding an adult-only celebration. We hope you understand, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Can I bring a plus one?

Due to limited space, we are unable to accommodate additional guests. If your invitation includes a plus one, we would be delighted to have them join us. Thank you for understanding!

Is the venue handicapped accessible?

The Harris Building is fully accessible to all guests. The ceremony will take place on the upper floor, and for those with mobility needs—or anyone who prefers to use the elevator—one is conveniently located at the front entrance. Greeters will be available on the first floor to offer assistance and help direct you. We want all of our guests to feel comfortable and supported as we celebrate together.

Is there a hotel room block?

Yes, we have blocked rooms at Canopy by Hilton and Courtyard by Marriott in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Please check the travel tab to receive the group rate.

What if the hotel room blocks are full?

Please contact Emma or Murphy, and we will be happy to assist you with adding more rooms to the block, if available.

Is there free parking available at the venue?

There will be a free valet service at the front of the building, simply pull up and they will park your car for you! If you plan on staying the night at the hotel it is just a short walk from the hotel to the venue, or Ubers are available! There is no overnight parking at the venue. If you plan on parking downtown there is plenty of free street parking.

Where will the wedding ceremony and reception take place?

Both the wedding ceremony and reception will take place at The Harris Building, located at 111 Division Ave S, Grand Rapids, MI 49503. The ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception will all be held upstairs. During a brief interlude between the ceremony and reception, the bridal party will take a few photos, allowing guests to enjoy cocktails and hors d'oeuvres.

Will the ceremony be indoors or outdoors?

The ceremony and reception will be indoors—we’re not taking any chances with Michigan weather!

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

No photos, please, during the ceremony. To fully enjoy the moment and ensure our professional photographer captures every special memory, we kindly ask that guests refrain from taking photos during the ceremony. We will have a photo booth and plenty of chances to take pictures during the reception. We want you in the shot, but not your phone or camera! Having phones in the shot can also ruin the perfect moments we want to preserve. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to sharing these beautiful memories with you!

What is the dress code for the wedding?

The dress code for our wedding is cocktail / formal attire. We can't wait to celebrate with you in style!

How can I RSVP for the wedding?
