Both the ceremony and reception will be held at Allure on the Lake in Chesterton, IN.

The ceremony will start promptly at 4:30 PM CST. Please arrive between 20 to 30 minutes early to ensure everything starts on time. Also, plan accordingly and pay attention to time zone changes if you are one of our EST besties!

Cocktail hour will begin directly following the ceremony in the room next door!

Both the ceremony and reception will be indoors. There is also an outdoor patio overlooking the lake that will be open during cocktail hour and the entirety of the reception!

Abso-freaking-lutely!

Our wedding is strictly RSVP only. Please refer to your invitation as we will only be able to accommodate those listed. Thank you for understanding! We can not wait to celebrate with our nearest and dearest!

The dress code for our wedding is semi-formal/cocktail attire. Keep in mind we're getting married during the fall in the ever-changing Indiana weather!

Yes! BUT...please refrain from taking pictures during the ceremony and be mindful of our photographer(s). Take all the pictures you can after the ceremony and during the reception! *Please no flash photography*

There is a parking lot directly outside the venue. All parking is free.

We have a hotel block at Best Western Indian Oak which is located directly next to the venue at 558 Indian Boundary Road, Chesterton, IN 46304.
