Q + A

What’s the plan for the day?

Kate and Tony have decided to have a small, intimate ceremony with just family and their wedding party. However, they can’t wait to celebrate with all their favorite people afterward! Please refer to your invitation for all the details.

How do I RSVP? When is the deadline?

To RSVP, click on the RSVP tab on this website and search for your name. If you have a plus one, their name will be listed, or it will say “Plus One.” Please let us know your response by December 12, 2025. Any RSVPs received after this date will be marked as a “no” as we will be sending final headcounts to vendors shortly after this deadline - you will be missed!

Can I bring a plus one?

We can only accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you receive a plus one it will appear on your invite. We want to keep our reception intimate with our close family and friends. Thank you for understanding!

Are kids invited?

While we love your little ones, unfortunately, we cannot accommodate children. We hope you understand and take this as an opportunity to relax, let loose, and enjoy the celebration with us!

Is there going to be an open bar?

Yes, there will be an open bar! So get ready to drink, dance, and celebrate the Browns with us!

Which hotel should I stay in?

Tony and Kate recommend the Peoria Marriott Pere Marquette. It’s just steps away from the reception venue and offers convenient onsite parking!

What is the dress code?

We’re excited to see our loved ones dressed up for our special day! We’re requesting formal or cocktail attire. For the gentlemen, this could mean a suit and tie or a jacket—no tuxedo necessary. For the ladies, a formal or cocktail dress is perfect.

Where do I park?

Packard Plaza has parking available behind the Mark Twain Hotel. If you're staying at the Pere Marquette, they offer onsite parking, and you can either walk or take an Uber to the reception venue.

Where are the ceremony and reception taking place?

The ceremony will be held at Luthy Botanical Garden, but this is an intimate gathering. You are only invited to the ceremony if you receive a formal invitation. If you do not receive a ceremony invite, we look forward to celebrating with you at Packard Plaza—join us there at 5:00 PM for cocktail hour and the reception!
