Q + A

I have mobility issues, how difficult will it be to attend?

The building is historic and not ADA compliant. You will have to be able to get up a one story flight of stairs for the reception and a half flight of stairs for the ceremony on the Alley Deck that is connected to the reception space. There will be seating during the ceremony and the reception. Once you are in the reception space, food, drinks, and restrooms are all readily accessible.

Are kids allowed to attend?

We will be inviting children of immediate family members. Due to limitations with our venue space, we ask that you refrain from bringing additional guests beyond your invitation allotment, but there are no age requirements for who you wish to bring as your plus one. There won't be a children's menu option and music will be uncensored.

Are you serious about this dress code? Can my husband wear my old wedding dress instead?

YES! Please come to laugh and have fun. The sparklier and bolder everyone is the better. This is your chance to dress as flamboyantly as you want! No pressure for those that want to wear standard stuff though; everyone should feel welcome to enjoy the day in whatever makes them feel best! Bright, sparkling, bold, colorful is good; Halloween costumes are not. Pretend it's a prom. Feel free to ask if it's too confusing!

Are there going to be real drag queens at this party?

Yes.

Where are you registered?

We're not registered anywhere. Gifts are not expected and we're just thrilled to have you join us on our happy day! Please consider making a charitable donation to https://www.oxfamamerica.org/ instead!

What's the deal with parking?

We've got you covered! There's event parking just for wedding guests at the Magic Stick. There will be security in the lot too. You will be welcome to leave your car overnight in the Magic Stick lot if you don't want to pay for local hotel parking and/or are unable to drive responsibly that evening. The Majestic Detroit and the Magic Stick use the same parking lot. There is a good map on their website for this: https://www.majesticdetroit.com/contact/

Is there a preferred hotel/wedding block?

Yes, we have a block at the Hilton Garden Inn in downtown Detroit. We have the block for both Friday and Saturday nights, so make sure you select your room for ONLY the night(s) you wish to stay at the discounted rate. If the hotel or website says the block is full, contact us ASAP and we will request more rooms on the blocks. You must reserve your room before May 14th, 2025 to get the discounted rate. You can book your rooms in one of three ways: Follow this link to go directly to the discounted booking: https://www.hilton.com/en/attend-my-event/detdhgi-xsmw-69b0f06b-7586-4edf-881d-17ab595b7b9c/ or Call 1-800-HILTONS and reference the room block for “Skinner Mora Wedding” to reserve a room at the discounted rate or additionally, you can visit the website at Hilton Garden Inn Downtown Detroit (hilton.com) and use the group code: XSMW.

Will there be shuttle service to the hotel from the Magic Stick?

Yes, from 9pm-1am there will be a shuttle running back and forth from the venue to our preferred hotel, timing will be dependent on downtown Detroit events that evening. Uber and Lyft services are also readily available in the city for ~$15-20 for those of you that don't want to wait for the shuttle or stay after in the bowling alley downstairs.
