WHEN DO I NEED TO RSVP BY AND HOW DO I RSVP?
Please RSVP by October 31st, 2025. You can RSVP online using this websites RSVP page.
IS THERE A DRESS CODE?
We would love for you to dress up and enjoy the New Years Eve holiday with us! Ladies, think dresses or a fun top with dress pants! Men, we're thinking a sport coat or polo with dress pants!
WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE AT THE CEREMONY?
We recommend that you arrive at least 15-20 minutes before our 3:00 pm ceremony time. This provides time for our ushers to help as needed. If you are late and the ceremony has started, we ask that you stand at the back until the ushers guide you to a seat!
WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE AT THE RECEPTION?
Please join us for cocktail hour immediately following the church ceremony at Cologne Community Center. If you would like to leave your car in Waconia, there will be one shuttle provided from AmeriVu Hotel to Cologne Community Center. Please view the Shuttle Schedule tab for more details.
ARE KIDS INVITED?
As our wedding festivities will continue late into the evening, we’ve decided to make this an adults-only event. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause but hope you can still join us for our special day.
PARKING
You can leave your car at Cologne Community Center overnight if needed. There is no timeline of when it needs to be picked up the following day.
WHERE SHOULD I STAY IF I AM TRAVELING IN?
There is a hotel block at AmeriVu Hotel in Waconia. Call the hotel and use code Whittaker/Hanson for a discount. There are neighboring Hotels available in Chanhassen or Norwood Young America if needed. Go to the “Hotel Accommodations” tab for more details.
