When are RSVPs Due?
Please RSVP no later than May 4th, 2025. We will not be able to accommodate those who RSVP late.
If you are having difficulty RSVPing online, please reach out and we can help.
Do I have a Plus One?
Due to the size of our venue, guests are limited to those listed on the invitations. If you need clarification, please check the RSVP section of the website. You will only be able to RSVP for those who are invited.
Are children invited?
As much as we love your little ones, please leave them with a trusted caregiver for the day/evening.
Where can I book accommodations?
Please see our page about travel! We have not set aside specific blocks, but have listed a few of the many nearby hotels in the area. You can also check with airbnb or vrbo for rental houses if you wish to share a space with other guests.
What is the Dress Code?
We are asking our friends and family to dress in Cocktail Attire. If you need to be more comfortable, "garden party" attire would be acceptable as well. Basically, please wear either dress pants and a dress shirt or a dress. Dress sneakers are acceptable if you need them for medical reasons.
Please bring a jacket or wrap for the evening time and expect that it might rain or be slightly chilly- you never know when it comes to Michigan weather, especially in early June!
Please do not wear stiletto heals- our ceremony is taking place on the grass, though there is a paved walkway to the spot.
I have a food allergy or specialized diet- what can I do?
You will be able to inform us when you RSVP. We can accommodate gluten-free and vegan diets easily and are very willing to work with you if you have any food allergies/intolerances. We want everyone to enjoy our special day and be well-fed!
What time should we arrive?
If you are arriving before the ceremony, please arrive no later than 3:45 pm as our ceremony begins promptly at 4 pm. If you are only coming for the 5 pm reception please arrive no later than 4:45. The dinner bell will ring around 5pm!
What is the Parking Situation?
Wellers has free parking on-site! Please note that two weddings will be going on the same day, and ceremony times are staggered by an hour. The sooner you arrive, the better parking spot you'll find.
What does it mean for a ceremony to be "unplugged"?
We are asking that everyone turn their phones on silent or turn them off completely during our ceremony, and to put away any personal cameras. We have hired a professional photographer to document the ceremony and deeply wish for our guests to be present in the moment with us. Please resist the urge to be on your phone or take photos during our ceremony.
What type of bar will be provided?
Our wedding will have an open bar! We will have a small selection of beers, liquors, and wine for our guests to enjoy after the ceremony. However, we ask that you please drink responsibly as well as respect those who might not wish to imbibe during the event. Please do not drive drunk or tipsy! We will not have shuttles between the venue and hotels. **Disorderly conduct will result in your removal from the celebration.**
Can we take family photos?
Our photographer is not able to take family photos of everyone during our special day. If you are part of the bride or groom's immediate family (parents and siblings) you will be asked to be in at least one photo, and yes, we will make sure that all participants of said photos will get a digital copy to do with as you please. If you'd like to take your own pictures, please ask another guest to take one on your phone, but please stay out of the way of our professional photographer. Please also note that personal cameras and phones should be put away for the ceremony.
Can I get ready with the bridal party?
As much as we love you all, please arrive when the rest of the guests are set to arrive. We cannot accommodate too many people in the bridal suite, nor do we want to get off schedule for the day. You will have the chance to visit and dance with us during the reception!
What time does the party end?
Last Call will be at 10 pm with the reception ending at 10:30 pm. If you wish to help us clean up, we would be grateful. Please check with Katy (Maid of Honor) for jobs that need to be done. Everyone and all decor needs to be out by 11 pm.
