Let us know if you are coming!
Please RSVP no later than October 4th so we know if you're coming. (We sure hope you are!) You can mail back your RSVP card or at the RSVP link on this website.
Can I bring a date/plus one?
Each invitation is addressed to who it specifically includes. Your invite will be made out to (Your Name) "+ 1" if a guest spot has been reserved for you. Thank you for understanding!
Where is everything happening?
The ceremony and party will all be at one location --- Warehouse Winery in St. Louis Park. Their address is 6415 Cambridge Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55416. The venue is fully accessible.
There is plenty of parking on-site. There is street parking in front of Warehouse Winery on Cambridge Street. The yellow highlighted areas within the map also show available parking in business district parking lots located on the East side of Warehouse Winery.
What time should I arrive?
Doors and the bar open at 1pm. We'll have some yummy bites being butler passed at this time. Please arrive no later than 1:45pm so you can claim a spot for the ceremony, which will start at 2pm.
Can I share pictures of your big day on social media?
We kindly ask that you do not share any photos of the wedding on social media until either Michelle or Jake has had the chance to do so first.
Can I bring my kids?
We love and adore all the little ones; however, we have decided to keep our wedding day an adults-only event with the exception of some close family members of our choosing during a portion of the event. If your kids' names are on your invite, then they can absolutely attend. If not, then we hope you can look at this as an opportunity for a fun date night!
What is the dress code?
We care most about who is there and least about how you look. If you want to get dressed up, we'd love to see it; if you want to opt for casual, don't let us stop you. We want you to be comfortable and have a good time!
How do I know where to sit?
Aside from a handful of spots for some special folks - which will be marked as reserved - we have no assigned seating for our event; please find a spot that you like and get comfortable! Bonus points if you make friends with someone new during the process. The room will be set up with ten large round tables that seat ten people each. In addition, there are several standing room cocktail tables in the back along with unique additional seating options. There will be more people than chairs, so if you want to make sure you get a good spot, get there early!
What if I want to give a gift?
Check out the registry page of this website. We don't want or need much - being surrounded by all of you on the best day of our lives is really enough! But there are some options listed there to select from if you'd like - from donations to our charities of choice, contributions toward honeymoon excursions, or a couple of small household items.
Will there be a bar?
Yes! There will be a cash/credit bar with beer, wine, and liquor available for purchase. Soda is free. The bar will be open at 1pm so grab a beverage before you claim your spot for the ceremony. They'll pause service during the ceremony, but then will reopen again right after.
Will there be food?
Yes! A couple of tasty appetizers will be butler passed prior to the ceremony during the cocktail hour. After the ceremony, a variety of food stations will be set up including sliders, chicken wings (HIS PICK), cheese and crackers, grilled vegetables, and more. Later, pizza (HER PICK) and popcorn will be served. Feel free to graze throughout the party!
Will there be a dance?
We're not having a traditional reception and dance with DJ or band like you usually associate with weddings. Instead, after the ceremony, we'll be cranking our carefully curated party mix playlist for the rest of the afternoon. While you're chatting with friends, grazing the food tables, playing the games - we hope you'll bust out a dance when a song comes on that moves you!
What happens after the party?
We'll celebrate at Warehouse Winery until about 7pm. After that, you have choices! You can follow us up to our favorite dive bar for the optional official unofficial after party (The Well Sports Tavern & Grill, 35 Coon Rapids Boulevard Northwest, Coon Rapids, Minnesota 55448) ... or you can check out one of the very cool distilleries within walking distance of the wedding venue (The Dampfwerk Distillery Cocktail Lounge or Copperwing Distillery) ... or feel free to head home or back to your hotel and call it a night!
Do you have a block of rooms reserved at a nearby hotel?
We sure do! Check out the Travel page of this website for more information. There is an option near the wedding venue where we have rooms blocked, as well as an option near the after party venue where we have rooms blocked. Take your pick based on where you intend to end your evening!
I have more questions about your wedding; who can I contact?
Email Michelle (michelle-kiara@comcast.net) or Jake (zoccolihandyman@gmail.com) and we'd be happy to help!
