What's the attire?
Cocktail Attire
Where is the wedding?
The ceremony will be held in Kempner Park and the reception at the Garten Verein. The Garten Verein is in Kempner Park.
Where should I park?
The wedding venue has a small parking lot and there is ample street parking.
Will I be outside much?
The plan is for the ceremony to be held in Kempner Park, but we will move it inside should we get rain.
What time should I arrive?
We recommend arriving 20 minutes before the ceremony so you can park, orient yourself to the venue, and join us for the ceremony.
What about weather?
The average temperature in November varies between 61.3 degrees and 68.9 degrees. If you’re from Texas, this is a bit chilly. If you’re from up north, this is balmy. Temperatures have been unpredictable (snow in February 2021!!), so check the weather before you pack.
Should I bring a sack lunch?
Please don’t because we’ll have food and drink for you at the reception! We will serve passed appetizers and a sit down dinner, with wine, beer, iced tea, water, and coffee to drink. Please communicate any dietary needs so we may accommodate them.
Can I take and post pictures of the wedding on social media?
That would be delightful! We encourage guests to post pictures on to their social media channels, our only request is that you tag each photo with our wedding hashtag #joshandbecca2021 so we can keep track of all of your pictures!
What else y’all got going on?
We invite everyone to grab a post wedding celebratory drink directly after the reception! Location TBA. And we hope you’ll join us for coffee and pastries the next morning at The Schaefer Haus.
Was choosing German-named venues intentional?
Nope! Just happened. :)
