WHEN DO I NEED TO RSVP BY?
Please RSVP by August 5th by clicking the RSVP tab in the menu above. If you do not RSVP in time we will assume that you are unable to attend. We can't wait to celebrate with everyone!
WHAT DO I DO IF I CAN'T MAKE IT?
You will be dearly missed! If you can't attend the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP "decline" so we can plan accordingly. Thank you!
CAN I BRING A GUEST/DATE?
We are only able to accommodate the guests formally listed on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP. Thank you for understanding and please feel free to reach out with any questions!
ARE KIDS WELCOME?
The only children in attendance will be the couple's nieces and nephews as they are in the wedding party. We do encourage you to use this evening as a date night!
WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE?
The ceremony will begin at 4:30pm. Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the ceremony to allow time for parking and finding your seat.
WHERE DO I PARK?
Our venue has free on-site parking, but it is limited so we encourage people to carpool! There is also an option to Uber/Lyft to the venue. Please reserve the handicapped spaces for those who need it/vendors.
CAN I TAKE PICTURES DURING THE CEREMONY?
We are having an unplugged ceremony, meaning that once the ceremony begins, we ask that all phones be put away and silenced. Feel free to take photos before/after the ceremony! We want everyone to be present with us and for our photographer/videography to be able to capture moments easily during the ceremony.
WILL THERE BE A COCKTAIL HOUR?
Yes! After the ceremony, guests are encouraged to head inside where you will find hors d'oeuvres. Use this time to take yourself on a tour of the historic mansion but please refrain from touching anything and any prohibited areas will be roped off.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Semi-Formal Attire!
The bridal party will be in black/white/olive green - please avoid colors reserved for the bride/bridal party. Please, no jeans. Remember the ceremony and reception will take place outdoors and Iowa is still toasty in September!
WILL THERE BE AN OPEN BAR?
There will be an open bar starting at cocktail hour and then we will move to a cash bar as the night slows down!
