Our wedding will have a black tie optional dress code. What does this mean? As formal attire is encouraged, guests are welcome to wear black tie attire if they prefer. For women this means formal cocktail dress or floor length dresses. Men are encouraged to wear at the very least a button-up shirt with a tie and dress pants. A sports coat or tuxedo would be preferred. We look forward to celebrating with you in style!

Parking at reception location is available in the parking structure located directly north of the Marcus Center for the Preforming Arts on State Street. It is connected to the Marcus Center by a 3rd floor skywalk. Samantha and Joseph will have shuttles transporting guests to/from The Trade starting at 4:30pm-5:30pm when cocktail hour begins, so that guests can leave their vehicles parked at preferred hotel. Shuttle will start running again from 8pm-1:00am when reception ends to bring guest back to the Trade hotel.
