Inside or Outside?
Our beautiful venue has both indoor and outdoor spaces. The ceremony will take place outside in a mostly shaded area. Dinner and dancing will take place indoors with access to the outdoor courtyard all evening.
Can I bring a guest?
Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited. Please reach out to Morgan & Trenton if you have any questions. Thank you for understanding!
Can I bring my children?
Due to limited space, our wedding is an adults-only event. We hope this gives you a chance to enjoy a night off!
Where to stay?
You can find the hotel block information on our website under "Travel". If you are searching for your own accommodations we recommend looking in St. Joseph or anywhere near the beach. We definitely suggest taking some time to check out Lake Michigan beaches! The venue is located approximately 14 minutes east of St Joseph.
How long should I stay?
If you are able to, especially our out of town guests, we invite you to extend your trip and make it a vacation. We will be staying all weekend and would love to spend more time with you if we can! Check out Things to Do & About the Area.
Can I take pictures & Videos?
Please do not take any photos or videos during the ceremony. We have hired a wonderful photographer that will be capturing all the beautiful moments of our day. We have also asked her to capture YOUR reactions and emotions throughout the evening so we can cherish them too. Additionally, we will have several photo opportunities during cocktail hour in the hopes we can spend a moment with each of you. We will be sure to make sure you get a copy of any moment you are captured in.
Open or Cash Bar?
OBVIOUSLY, open. Even through we are "retired" we would never miss an opportunity to make sure our guests recieve the best at the bar (:
What's for Dinner?
We will be serving a seasonal Farm-to-Table meal made with ingredients from a single local farm. You will recieve a formal menu and options with your invitation. If you have any allergies or restrictions please let Morgan & Trenton know ASAP to ensure accommodations can be made.
Where do I park?
There is plenty parking available directly across the street and a overflow and handicap parking behind the building.
What if I need a driver?
Morgan and Trenton will, under no circumstances, tolerate drunk driving. Do not attempt to risk it with Morgan. The venue does allow for you to leave your vehicle overnight until 10 am on Saturday. We will provide a shuttle from the venue to the hotel block from 10-10:30 pm. Ride share apps are another great option for day of transportation.
