Where will the ceremony and reception be?
Lucky for everyone, it’s all in one place, at BienVenu. Address: 7400 Hudson Rd, Cedar Falls, IA 50613.
What time should guests arrive?
Best to arrive a half hour prior to ceremony start time. Ceremony will start at 4 pm.
Is the ceremony going to be indoors or outdoors?
The ceremony will take place indoors, so as to not sweat out the guests (or the bride or groom). There will be an outdoor courtyard space available for guests to enjoy after the ceremony and through out the night.
What is the parking situation and is it free?
There is plenty of parking outside the wedding venue, and it is free to all guests.
Are kids welcome?
The couple would love to share the day with everyone; however, the cut off is with kids. Although, of course, they have made allowances for their adorable nieces and nephews. Also any mothers with babies still nursing, more than welcome to bring their little one.
What happens after the ceremony?
Guests are welcome to enjoy hors d’oeuvres and drinks just outside the reception hall, as well as enjoy the outdoor courtyard space. The couple will have yard games and various seating in the outdoor courtyard for guests to enjoy, rain or shine.
Can I bring a plus one?
If your invite includes a plus one, by all means bring someone along.
