Taylor & Gabriel

September 14, 2024 • Rockford, IL

WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?

Semi-formal! We would love to see everyone outside of the wedding party wearing fall colors if possible :) tan, orange, green, burgundy, red, yellow, brown, etc.

CAN I BRING A GUEST?

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. Otherwise, we would love to keep the wedding as intimate as possible with close friends + family only. Thank you for understanding!

CAN I BRING MY CHILDREN?

We decided to keep our wedding and reception an adults-only event (the only exception being the little ones in our bridal party/immediate family). Invitations will be specific and will include the names of the children who are invited. We hope you understand and enjoy a night off!

WHERE ARE THE CEREMONY AND RECEPTION TAKING PLACE?

The ceremony is taking place at Gabriel and I's church - Rock Church. The reception is taking place at The Bricks Venue Center in Cherry Valley (about a 5 minute drive from the church).

WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE?

The ceremony start time is 2pm. The reception start time is 5:30pm. We suggest that you arrive 15-30 minutes prior to the event to find parking and your seat.

IS ALCOHOL ALLOWED AT THE RECEPTION?

There will not be a bar at the reception and only non-alcoholic beverages allowed in. We ask that all guests do NOT bring alcohol with them. It goes against our venue guidelines and will result in additional charges for us if not obeyed.

WILL THE CEREMONY AND RECEPTION BE INDOOR OR OUTDOOR?

Both events will be taking place indoors! Pending weather, we would love to take photos outdoors to get the beautiful fall colors, but cannot guarantee. You never know with the Illinois bipolar weather, stay tuned ;)

IS FOOD PROVIDED AT THE RECEPTION?

Yes! We plan to have tacos catered in buffet style and treats as well. However, there is a two-hour break between the ceremony and the reception to give all guests time to do what they need to do.

IS THERE FREE PARKING?

Yes! Free parking will be available at both the ceremony and the reception.
