Q + A

Where is the venue? What do I do when I get there?

The entire celebration is happening at Theodore Wirth Golf Chalet and Fireplace Room at 4pm sharp. See some creepy-cutesie bronze statues out front? You’re in the right place. When you arrive please head directly up the front staircase, grab a drink and find your seat for the ceremony. There will be standing room as well as seated options for you to choose from. If all chairs are taken and a guest arrives who is more physically in need of a chair than you, please give up your seat for them and head to the area reserved for standing room.

Can I leave my car in the Theodore Wirth parking lot overnight?

NO. Don’t do it…It will be towed. Leave your car at the hotel. An Uber is way less expensive than getting your car out of the impound lot.

You’re not having a seated dinner?!?

Sorry, Grandma! We’re keeping it new school and focusing on the fun. Don’t fret! We won’t let you go hungry. Our caterer has an awesome spread of heavy apps ready to be pumped out for the duration of the reception.

Where is your hotel block?

We are staying at the Hilton in the West End. Just 8 minutes from the venue. The block options are a studio king for $159 a night or a one-bedroom king suite with a sofa bed for $169 a night. Both options include a use of the indoor pool, a full kitchenette and a complimentary breakfast. Rooms are reserved on a first serve basis. If planning to reserve under the block please call 952-544-0495 and let them know you are reserving under the Smith/Luebke wedding block for May of 2023. The hotel only guarantees 15 rooms at the block price and will release more upon their discretion. The block rate ends on April 25th, 2023 so book asap if planning to stay with us!

Is there provided transportation to the venue if I am staying at the hotel?

No, the Hilton does not provide shuttle service outside of the immediate West End area. Good news is the drive to the venue is just a quick 3.5 miles from the hotel. Please grab an Uber if planning to have an extra fun time!

You don’t have much of a registry? What’s a honeypot?

We do have a small registry linked on our website if you prefer to give an actual gift. When selecting things to register for we found that after living together for so long we already have most of what we need to have a home together. In lieu of physical gifts we are asking for contributions to the “honeypot” so we can take our dream honeymoon…wandering around the Mediterranean. Any remaining funds will go into savings for our first home.

Is there an after party?

Of course there is. This is Brent and Mel’s wedding after all! We will be bar hopping around the West End after the reception ends at 11:30. Plan on Ubering if planning to continue the fun! The Hilton is just minutes from where we will be hopping around.

Are kids invited?

A very select handful of the littles in our lives are invited. If your child’s name is not included in your RSVP check in page then they have not been included in the headcount. Grab a sitter, we promise you’ll thank us once you have a drink in your hand. Please don’t ask to make an exception, it’s gonna be a no from me, dawg.
