Q & A

when do I need to RSVP by?

The deadline to RSVP is July 20th. Unfortunately, due to vendor requirements & contracts, those who do not RSVP by this date will be assumed as “unable to attend.”  Formal invitations will be sent closer to the date and will provide more information on ways to RSVP.

where are the ceremony & reception? where should I park?

The ceremony and reception will both take place at our home in Ixonia, WI (address below). Upon arrival, signs will guide you to the designated parking area across from our home. From the parking lot, you will make your way to the ceremony via the marked pathway. (Please note that the parking lot is a farm field which may be bumpy, muddy, dusty, etc.) N8841 river valley rdixonia, wi 53036

what time do I need to arrive? 

Please plan to arrive by 4:00pm to give yourself enough time to park, get to the ceremony space, and find a seat. The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:30pm. Please see “The Details” tab for more information regarding the wedding day schedule.&nbsp;

what should I wear?

Plan to wear Garden Party Formal/Cocktail or Summer Formal/Cocktail attire. The ceremony &amp; reception are both being held outdoors in our backyard so make sure to wear appropriate footwear.For those who are unfamiliar with this dress code, feel free to click the link below to help spark your outfit inspiration! <a href="https://pin.it/18xQ5Uwhs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://pin.it/18xQ5Uwhs</a> (Don’t forget a light jacket if its cold at night, though, the dance floor should do the trick, too.)
