What is the dress code?
We'd love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day! Dress to impress in your best cocktail attire. Please no jeans/denim and avoid shades of white. The ceremony and happy hour will be held outside (weather permitting) while the reception will be held inside. (check out this article if you’re not sure what qualifies as cocktail hour attire: https://www.brides.com/cocktail-attire-wedding-4844364) :)
What time should I arrive?
We ask that you arrive to the ceremony 30 minutes prior (3:30 pm) in order to navigate parking and grab a seat.
Is there parking on site?
Yes, there is plenty of parking on site. However, if you plan on drinking please consider carpooling or using our shuttle that will be making trips to the two hotels in Pella, IA. We want all of our guests to arrive and leave safely!
Can I bring a plus-one?
Due to our venue, we are only able to accommodate the guests that are included on your invitation. If you received a plus-one, they would appear under your name when you RSVP.
Can I take pictures and videos?
YES! The only request we have is to please put your phones away during the ceremony. We have hired professionals to capture some of the most important moments of our lives, and we'd hate to have a well-meaning person's phone block that moment for our photographer. After the ceremony, please feel free to take as many photos as you want! We promise to share the ceremony photos once we receive them!
Will there be an open bar?
Yes, the drinks are on us and the hangover is on you! Get ready to party :)
