What is the dress code?
We want our guests to be comfortable so please come in business casual attire. Women please do not wear any outfits that are predominantly dark red, any variation of white or dark blue unless you are in the wedding party. Men please do not wear any ties or shirts that are dark red or dark blue unless you are in the wedding party.
Are children allowed at the ceremony?
No one under the age of 18 will be allowed at this event.
May I bring a "+1" to the event?
Due to limited capacity, only those addressed on the invitation (the envelope) are invited and only those with "+1" after their name have been granted a +1.
What is the weather like?
First, try looking at your weather app. If you can't, watch the news. For those who can't, I'm not sure how you found our website, but here we go:
[clears throat and assumes generic Weatherman Voice]
During April 2024, the weather in Peoria ranged from 63-95 degrees during the day, 46-70 degrees in the evening, was likely sunny, and described as "warm" by the locals (namely Saxxon)- so take that for what it is.
What time should we arrive?
You can arrive as early as 4:30 p.m.. Please be aware the venue staff may still be setting up and you may be asked to wait outside if you arrive between 4:30 and 4:50 p.m.
Will there be a guest book?
No paper-and-pen guest book will be at the event but an audio guest book will be present for you to share your voice and thoughts with us after the ceremony. We also ask that you leave "Advice Cards" in our card box.
Can I have my cellphone at the ceremony?
We'll allow it if you have pockets or a purse to hold it- so, sure.
Seriously though- we are having an unplugged ceremony and ask that cell phones be silenced and put away at that time. Our photographer is in fact better than you, which is why we are paying them to take the photos and you will not be paid for yours. However, outside of the ceremony, you can use your phone as you like. This isn't grade school... or like work or something.
Are gifts required?
No, you are not required to bring a gift but it'd be a lot cooler if you did- am I right?
In lieu of gifts we would prefer contributions to our honeymoon fund. There is a link under the "Registry" option at the top of this page.
Additionally, we will have a card box at the event for in-person gifts.
Please no toasters or random knick-knacks as our trash can only fit so much and Saxxon doesn't like breaking down the boxes for recycle.
Are there any events before or after the wedding day?
The couple has decided not to host a rehearsal dinner for our guests convenience. We will also not have any events scheduled immediately following the wedding.
Some of the questions and sections appear to be more humorous. Are you taking this seriously?
Yes.
Lisa has been doing a great job putting the pieces of this website together and Saxxon has added his- shall we say, "unorthodox"- methods to the responses. I- I mean, "he"- figured it would be a nice break from the usual "stuffy" wedding planning. Still cute though right? RIGHT?
"Don't take life too seriously. No one makes it out alive anyways." Saxxon approved/wrote this message (Lisa okay-ed it, so blame her though).
