Q + A

Where are events taking place?

The rehearsal, welcome party, ceremony and reception are all at the Cambria Hotel Detroit Downtown! The address is 600 W Lafayette Blvd, Detroit, MI 48226.

Do you have a room block?

We have secured a room block at the Cambria Hotel Detroit Downtown! Please book a room using the link on the Travel page, or code BUHZYB. The room rate should be $199/night. If you have any trouble or no more rooms are available please let us know!

Where do I go for the Welcome Party?

The party will be at Five Iron Golf, located in the lower level of the Cambria hotel.

What do I wear?

The dress code for the Welcome Party the night before the wedding is Elevated Casual, like what you might wear for a night out on the town - keeping in mind that you do have the option to play golf or duck-pin bowling which could involve some movement. The Ceremony & Reception will be Black Tie Optional - please dress as formal as you would like, evening gowns, tuxedos, cocktail dresses and formal suits are all great. The wedding party will be in black tie attire. We encourage lots of NYE sparkles!

What is the timeline of events?

As NYE is a later evening, the ceremony will start in the Sala Ballroom at 6PM, followed by a cocktail hour from 6:30-8:00PM in the adjoining Bala lounge. The reception will start at 8:00PM with dinner served by 8:30PM, and the dance floor open by 9:30PM. We will have a midnight champagne toast to ring in the new year, and the reception will conclude by 1:00AM.

Can I use my phone or other camera at the ceremony?

We would appreciate it if everyone refrained from using their cell phones and other cameras during the ceremony as we have an excellent photographer who will capture it for us! Your phones and cameras will end up in our photos if they're used, and we'd rather see your faces instead :) We will take a moment at the start of the ceremony to let you all take a photo if you wish, and you're welcome to use your phones and cameras throughout the rest of the night!

What about parking?

The hotel has lots of parking. We recommend valeting your car when you get to the hotel. All of the events are at the hotel so you will only need to leave if you decide to explore other parts of Detroit while you stay downtown.

What about kids?

We love and adore all of your kids but ask that you keep them at home as it'll be a late night. We understand childcare can be complicated so if you run into issues or have a unique situation please let us know.
