What time should I arrive?
Our ceremony begins at 5pm sharp. We urge our guests to arrive 30 minutes early to have time to find a seat and mingle. Any guests arriving late or during the ceremony will not be allowed entry so to avoid any interruptions.
How do I get to the venue?
For guests who live out of town, we will have shuttles from the Hotel Indigo to Timberlee Hills before the ceremony and towards the end of the reception. The schedule is noted under the "Travel" information on our website. For guests who live in town, there is plenty of parking on site! The venue is located at 10484 S Timberlee Dr.
What is the dress code?
We would love if our guests dressed up for the special occasion! The dress code is cocktail wear. Please no jeans or sweats.
Please note that the ceremony is outside on grass, so spiky heels will sink into the dirt and be difficult to walk on!
Will there be an open bar?
We know the REAL reason people love weddings. Yes, there will be a fully stocked open bar at the venue. You can start drinking during cocktail hour! Please note the venue and bartenders reserve the right to ID all guests ordering alcoholic beverages.
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
We kindly ask that you put all phones and cameras away during the ceremony as we want our guests to be present with us rather than behind their screens. We have a professional photographer who will be taking plenty of photos to capture the ceremony for us as well as a videographer. You are welcome to take as many photos as you want after the ceremony! Please note all extended family members will be asked to stay seated after the ceremony for extended family photos.
Can I bring a date?
Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you receive a plus one when we sent out invitations, it will be indicated on your invite and under your name when you RSVP on our website. Thank you for understanding.
What if I don't RSVP by the deadline?
If we do not receive an RSVP back from you by our June 15th deadline, you will be marked as "not attending". We will miss celebrating with you but we must provide an accurate guest count to our venue and vendors in the timely manner we were given. We appreciate your understanding!
Where should I stay?
Traverse City has many hotels in the area to stay. We currently have a room block reserved at the Hotel Indigo, however all reservations for the room block must be made by June 24th, 2025. It is the height of tourism and wedding season in TC, so we urge our guests to make reservations early! Please note accommodations can be pricey, so look into other options in the area such as hotels in East Bay, or on VRBO and AirBnB. You can find additional info on the "Travel" section of our website.
Are kids invited?
While we love your little ones, due to limited space at our venue we have decided to keep our wedding adults only. We encourage you to use this as a date night to get out and have some fun!
What should I do with my free time?
There are many fun activities in Traverse City in the summer! Please visit the "Things to Do" section of our website for some recommendations.
What should I gift you?
Your presence is gift enough! We understand that making the trip will be difficult for many of our guests and do not expect gifts. However, if you wish to send a gift, please check out our registry. If you wish to send money, we request that you write us a check as The Knot takes a portion of all cash funds sent through their registry. Please note that Kate and Keegan are scheduled to move sometime before the wedding. If you would like their updated address, please reach out to them directly. The registry will be updated upon moving.
Who should I contact if I have any questions?
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact Kate or Keegan. If they are not available you can contact Bill or Staci McGee or Ingrid Johnson. If you have questions on the wedding day, the bride and groom will not have their phones on them. However, if there is an emergency and you need to speak with someone, please contact a member of the wedding party.
