The ceremony will end roughly at 2pm and the cocktail hour will start at 4pm at the Abraham Lincoln Hotel with reception to follow. There are a lot of things to do in downtown Springfield during that time! If you wanted to see the sights, you could check out The Abraham Lincoln Museum, Abraham Lincoln's Home (which is right next to Obed and Isaacs Microbrewery), or the Old State Capitol. If you are interested in a few drinks, Celtic Mist is located directly across the street from the hotel, and JP Kelly's is 4 blocks west of the hotel. If you are wanting a bite to eat along with a drink, you could check out Bloom Wine Bar, Anvil and Forge Brewing and Distillery Company, or Obed and Isaac's Microbrewery. All of these places are within walking distance of the hotel and church!

We love your children!! But this will be an adult only party. We hope you can think of this as a fun weekend away!

We would love if you would show up in your best cocktail/formal attire!!

We plan for both the ceremony and reception to be indoors! But you may choose to walk from the church to reception if you wish!

There will be an open bar until 10 pm!! From 10 and on, it will be a cash bar!!
