While Sawyer's proximity to Indiana is so close, Southwest Michigan observes Eastern Time, as opposed to Chicagoland, which is Central Time. Reception time is listed in EST, an hour ahead for most of our guests.

We're eloping privately, so we won't bore you with a duplicate civil ceremony. Our hope is that you spend the day enjoying Southwest Michigan, and join us for and evening of cocktails, dinner and dancing!

Cocktail attire with a garden twist. We're celebrating outside so we can enjoy one of the first weekends of our Midwest summer. We'll have a dance floor that's ready for your dancing shoes, but you will walk across short-trimmed grass to get to it.
