Where is the ceremony taking place?
The ceremony will be held in The Chapel at Grand View Lodge Spa & Golf Resort. The address is: 4225 Forest Avenue, Nisswa, MN 56468.
What time does the ceremony start?
The ceremony starts promptly at 11:00 AM at The Chapel.
When should I arrive?
Because the ceremony starts at 11:00 AM, we ask that guests arrive at 10:30 AM to allow ample time before the ceremony begins.
What should I wear?
The dress code is semi-formal attire. This means dress pants, dress shoes, ties, dress shirts, or blazers for the guys; and dresses, jumpsuits, or skirts for the ladies. We ask that you please avoid wearing white (we don't want to confuse Jack). Please keep in mind that it will be chilly up north in October and guests will also be walking a short distance outside from the ceremony venue to the reception venue. Please plan attire accordingly.
Do I get a plus one? Are kids invited?
Due to venue and budget restrictions, we are unable to accommodate guests outside of those listed on the invitation. We are so blessed to have such an intimate wedding with our closest friends and family members.
When and where is the reception?
Our brunch reception will immediately follow the ceremony in Cru Restaurant and Wine Bar at Grand View Lodge Spa & Golf Resort. The restaurant is located in the Gull Lake Center at the resort (23521 Nokomis Avenue, Nisswa, MN 56468), which is within walking distance of The Chapel. There will be signs to help direct you! The celebration concludes at 2:00 PM.
Where should I park?
Free parking will be available throughout Grand View Lodge Spa & Golf Resort. The bride and groom recommend parking at the Gull Lake Center. The guests will be walking from the ceremony venue to the reception venue. Please plan transportation accordingly.
Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?
Both the ceremony and reception will be held indoors. However, guests will be walking outside from the ceremony venue to the reception venue, so please plan accordingly.
Can I take pictures?
We ask that you silence or turn off your phone and refrain from taking pictures during the ceremony (we have a wonderful photographer and videographer that will capture the ceremony for us). During the reception, we would love your help in getting pictures, so take as many as you want and send them our way!
How do I RSVP?
You can RSVP by scanning the QR code on your wedding invitation or scroll up and click on the "RSVP" tab of our website. Please be sure to include any dietary restrictions so we can accommodate accordingly. Your response is kindly requested by AUGUST 18TH, 2025.
What happens if I do not RSVP by the deadline?
Unfortunately, if you do not RSVP by AUGUST 18TH, you will be unable to attend the wedding and your seat will be given to other friends and family members.
Are there other wedding events I can attend?
Yes! We are having a Welcome Party on Friday, October 10th at 7 PM at Roundhouse Brewery (23836 Smiley Road, Nisswa, MN 56468). We hope you can join us for drinks and appetizers! This event is graciously hosted by Matthew and Debora Gray. Also, due to the amount of love and support from many friends and family members, as well as our inability to invite everyone, we will be hosting a second reception Summer 2026. Stay tuned for more information!
Are you accepting gifts?
Yes. If you would like to get a gift for the bride and groom, they are registered at Target, Amazon, and Crate & Barrel (see the Registry tab of the wedding website). The bride and groom are also saving up for a house, as well as their honeymoon (they hope to go on one in Spring 2026!). Please note that gifts are not expected, as the bride and groom are thankful for how far others are traveling to celebrate them.
What if I have more questions?
If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact Megann.
