While the ceremony will begin at 5:30p, the venue and bar will open at 5p. We know many of you will be seeing each other for the first time in a while, so we want to give you time to grab a drink and visit before the ceremony begins. Think of this as a pre-ceremony cocktail (half) hour. Your drinks will be welcome in the ceremony space!

Unless their names are noted on the invitation, they are not. We are opting for a child-free celebration. We sincerely hope you can find accommodations for your kids in advance, but we understand if this prevents you from joining us.

Unless rain is in the forecast, we plan to have both the ceremony and reception outdoors. If you need to escape the heat, our venue has a variety of beautiful indoor gardens which you are encouraged to enjoy in moments of downtime.

For our celebration, we'd like to see you in summer cocktail attire. Men can wear a suit, jacket optional, or a dress shirt and pants. Women can wear a summery cocktail dress or dressy separates. We expect warm weather at our late-August wedding, so please dress to impress, but not to sweat! *Please avoid wearing white. While it's completely optional, you may use the color palette below as a guide if you'd like to dress complimentary to our wedding colors.

Please see the travel tab for more information on our block of rooms at the Hampton Inn in Downtown Fort Wayne.

If you're coming from out of town and plan to book from our hotel block, you can simply walk to the venue, as it's only a block away. There is also a parking garage on the opposite corner of the Botanical Conservatory if you're driving in.

You are welcome to contact either Sunni or Matt with questions leading up to the wedding. If you need anything on the day of the wedding, please text Sunni's mother, Tina Brandon, at 419-559-3177.
