If you are able to RSVP when you receive your invitation - that is great and extremely helpful! To RSVP, click the RSVP tab and type one of the names listed on your invitation. You will be able to RSVP for all guests invited in your household at the same time. We ask that you kindly reply before Sunday, September 1st, 2024. Any RSVP's received after this date will be marked as "No" and you will be missed! Our vendors need to know how many people to prepare for and we would like to respect them. We hope you understand!
What does formal/black tie optional mean?
Our dress code is formal/black tie optional. We ask that no jeans or sneakers be worn! We also ask the guests avoid wearing colors reserved for the bride, such as cream, ivory or white.
What time should I arrive for the ceremony?
The ceremony will begin punctually at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Please arrive no later than 1:45pm to be seated in time.
Are kids allowed to attend?
In order to allow all guests, including parents, a night of relaxation, we have chosen for our wedding to be an adult only occasion.
Anyone over the age of 13 is welcome to come and celebrate!
What is the order of events?
CEREMONY: 2:00PM - 2:45PM |
SOCIAL HOUR: 5:00PM - 6PM |
DINNER: 6PM - 7:30PM |
END OF FESTIVITIES: 11:30PM
Is it a cash or open bar?
We will have an open bar from 6:00-11:00 (serving soda only during dinner hour from 6:30 until 7:30).
We will have drinks and appetizers served from 5-6 as well.
Can I check in to the hotel early?
Unfortunately Harrah's Joliet has a check in time of 4pm and we cannot promise they will have your room ready before then.
Our ceremony will be over by 3pm and cocktail hour begins at 5pm with dinner starting at 6:30pm.
This should give everyone time to check in and freshen up before the party begins!
Is there on-site parking?
Yes! There is plenty of parking at both the ceremony and reception locations!
Will there be a seating chart?
We will have a seating chart posted near the entrance of the reception venue. Please stop by to find your seat early!
