Where should I park?
Our venue has organized parking at the Children's Hospital parking deck beginning at 3:30pm. The address of the parking deck is
300 17th Street South
Birmingham, AL 35233
From there we will have a shuttle running to and from the venue (which is only about 2 blocks), or you are welcome to walk if you'd like to.
If you happen to find parking that you prefer more, please feel free to take advantage of other options, there is plenty to choose from!
Are children invited to the wedding and reception?
We love kids and understand that while being invited to this wedding, it may be difficult to accommodate care for them while you're away. We would strongly encourage you to take this opportunity to have a night out without your little ones, but we do understand if you need to bring them along.
We do ask that if you plan to bring your children and they are not listed on your invitation, please contact us privately so we can be sure they are properly accounted for in our headcount. Also, please note that the food we serve at the reception is not necessarily "kid-friendly" - there will not be chicken nuggets, fries, etc.
What time should I arrive and when do you expect we will finish up?
Our ceremony will begin promptly at 4:30pm, so please consider the time it will take to park, travel to the venue, and find your seat. We would recommend arriving anywhere from 15-30 minutes early. We would ask that you do not arrive to the venue any earlier than 4pm. The parking deck will become available at 3:30.
We plan to wrap up the celebrations around 8:30-9pm. If you want to keep the party going, wristbands will be provided for you to go to the bar downstairs after the send-off.

You will know you are in the right place when you see a large white brick building that reads "The Social" on the outside followed by double-glass doors which will lead you inside. Once inside, there should be signage indicating you found the right place!
