What is the schedule of events?
The ceremony will begin at 4:30PM. It will be located in the same ballroom as the reception.

Introductions will be 6:30 PM and dinner will be served at 7:00PM. Dancing and cocktails will be from 8:00 PM TO 11:30 PM.
What is the dress code?
We would love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day! Please no jeans/demin and avoid shades of white. (Steven will not be wearing shorts or his addidas slides... if he can dress up, so can you :) )
Are kids allowed?
Invitations will be specific and will include names of the children who are invited. We will only be inviting children who are a part of our wedding day. We encourage you to use this evening as a "night out", however we understand situations arise in which you may need to bring your children. If this is the case, please reach out to us as soon as possible and we will try our best to make it work.
What do I do if I can't make it?
You will be dearly missed! If you cannot make it to the wedding, please RSVP as soon as possible "not attending" so we can plan accordingly. Thank you!
Can I take pictures during the ceremony?
We ask that you silence phones and keep them put away. We would like to you be fully present with us and for our photographer to be able to capture the best pictures. However, we also know you may want to snap a pic or two. If so, please be mindful of our photographers, especially close to the aisle. We would prefer your smiling face in our pictures instead of your phone screen :)
What's for dinner?
We will be starting dinner with Cream of Chicken with Rice Soup followed by a Caesar Salad with Garlic Croutons, Fresh Grated Parmesan Cheese, and House Made Dressing. Our main course will be a combination entree of Chicken Piccata and Filet Mignon with a side of Mashed Potatoes and Asparagus. Dessert will include a Half Chocolate & Half Vanilla Cake with Chocolate French Custard filling served with ice cream in a chocolate cup.
Please let us know if you have any dietary or allergy restrictions as accommodations can be made to your meal.
Will there be an open bar?
Yes!! The drinks are on us and the hangover is on you!! For this reason, we encourage you to please make sure you drink safely and have a way to get home safely.
