We’re asking guests to dress in semi-formal cocktail attire—think something a step up from your Sunday best, but not full black tie. Dresses, jumpsuits, suits, button down shirts with a tie, and dressy separates are all perfect. As much as we know jeans and ball caps are staples (and trust us, we get it), we’d love for everyone to lean into the celebration and dress it up just a little.

Our ceremony will begin promptly at 5:00 PM. As the venue takes a little navigation, we kindly ask that you plan to arrive no later than 4:45 to ensure you’re seated and ready to be part of this special moment with us. This isn’t just the start of our celebration—it’s the sacred moment where we enter into a covenant before God, becoming one as husband and wife. Your presence as we join together in faith and love means the world to us, and we wouldn't want you to miss it!

Our hope is to hold the ceremony outdoors, surrounded by nature—a space where we both feel God’s presence and peace so clearly. The reception will be indoors (hello, air conditioning!) and cocktail hour will begin there immediately following the ceremony. But if you’re a fellow lover of the great outdoors, you’re in luck—we’ll have lawn games and plenty of space outside to enjoy during cocktail hour too. And if the weather doesn’t cooperate, no worries!! The indoor venue has a beautiful space where we can still say “I do” in front of all our favorite people.

We’ll be serving up BBQ and some seriously delicious sides—an ode to one of our favorite shared loves. From early dates to road trips through new towns, BBQ has been our go-to meal (yes, we split plates everywhere we go), so it only felt right to share that with all of you. While we’re excited to serve a meal that’s close to our hearts, we won’t have specific accommodations for vegetarians or food allergies. If you have dietary restrictions, we kindly encourage you to plan ahead by bringing something that works for you, or reach out to us in advance so we can try to help. We want everyone to feel cared for and enjoy the day!

Good news and bad news. The bad news: the venue is pretty strict, so outside alcohol isn’t allowed (leave the flasks and coolers at home, friends). The good news? We’ll have a fully open bar, lovingly sponsored by the Father of the Bride himself—Mr. Klocko. So go ahead and enjoy your drinks as long as you’ve got a safe ride home. Cheers to that!

We absolutely love children and wish we could invite everyone’s little ones —but for this day, we’re only able to welcome kids who are part of our immediate families and the bridal party. We know this may require extra planning, and while we hope it doesn’t prevent you from celebrating with us, we understand it might mean some can’t attend—which makes this decision all the more difficult. This was a thoughtful decision made with both budget and the flow of the day in mind. Our hope is that everyone who comes can relax, celebrate, and focus fully on the joy of the moment. We are so grateful for your understanding and support.

There is plenty of parking available right at the venue, and they’ve never run out of spots. When you arrive, please pull up and park near the white barn by following the signs for The Silver Spoon. Just a heads-up—there are two other venues on the property, so be sure to follow the signs carefully. This is the only one with a big white barn! Also, please avoid parking on the grass to help keep the grounds beautiful for everyone.

Mobility and accessibility are very important to us, especially since we have loved ones with accessibility needs. Aside from the bridal party area, there are no steps or stairs guests will need to navigate. All events, restrooms, and common areas are conveniently located on the ground level to ensure everyone can comfortably enjoy the day. For the outdoor ceremony, there is a paved path leading to the seating area, so no need to walk on grass or stones—making it easier for everyone to get to their seats with ease.
