Bunker's
761 N. Washington Ave., Minneapolis, MN
This is for the diehard music lovers, dancers, and partiers. If you're up for some killer live music, check out the legendary Dr. Mambo's Combo for some old school soul and funk in this dive bar staple.
NOTES:
1. Many of the band members used to play with Prince - that's the kind of talent and groove this band has. You'll also sometimes find surprise guest appearances by musicians touring in Minneapolis who just want to come out and informally jam in a small venue.
2. Arrive early for limited high-top table and bar seating. Otherwise it's standing room only.
3. Naps in between events and safe transportation are encouraged.
Open lot and street parking available.
Love and Diversity
We love that our family and friends are so eclectic! It's part of what's shaped us as individuals and as a couple. We are so grateful to you all for that gift and for being with us today to help celebrate. Naturally, though, this means there's going to be some strong, diverse opinions on topics that can be divisive. We encourage everyone to embrace the spirit of unity inspired by today and request that everyone refrain from discussing politics andreligion. Instead, let's celebrate what brings us together: Love.
Photography
Lena Lakoma, professional photographer, will be capturing special moments throughout the day. These photos will be used in social media, and may be used in marketing and promotional materials for all vendors involved. Ifyou do not want your photograph taken or used publically, please let Morgan know in advance.
