Please ensure that you are only attending with those who are listed on the invitation. We have chosen to have our wedding ceremony and reception in a small and intimate venue. We LOVE all of guests children, but we have chosen not to have children at our event, so please plan on making it a date night!

With our wedding being small and intimate, we would love our guests to wear cocktail attire. We are hoping that all guests and their loved ones will be able to get photos taken with us (and separately) so they can be enjoyed for a lifetime!

We have a hotel block at The Graduate Hotel in Lincoln from Friday, December 6th - Sunday, December 8th. Sam and Carissa will be staying at The Graduate Hotel on Friday & Saturday night and we would love to see you there! When booking, mention the Williams Wedding for a discount OR book online using this https://www.hilton.com/en/book/reservation/rooms/?ctyhocn=LNKGLGU&arrivalDate=2024-12-06&departureDate=2024-12-08&groupCode=WNW&room1NumAdults=1&cid=OM%2CWW%2CHILTONLINK%2CEN%2CDirectLink The hotel discount is available until November 15th. After November 15th, the rooms will resume full price.

We understand that transportation to and from small towns can be difficult. There are a few different options for transportation from Lincoln to Crete, vice versa. Uber and Lyft now service Crete and the surrounding areas. You can also schedule a ride in advance! I would also highly suggest carpooling if you are able and ensuring that you have a designated driver for the night.

We will be hosting a few drinks during the cocktail hour as well as a grazing table. There will be water, lemonade, and tea available. There will be a fully stocked bar with drinks available for purchase if you'd prefer something other than the hosted drinks. Elayne also is a barista and has a full coffee bar available! The Parthenon will be catering dinner.
