Yes! Please plan extra travel time to get to wedding events! The city will be very busy due to the Zinzinnati Oktoberfest & Cincinnati Reds game crowds. Please visit the “Welcome to Cincinnati” tab for more information on enjoying these events!
Welcome Party: Our Welcome Party is a ~come & go, stay as long as you would like~ function! It will be from 7pm-11pm on Friday night.
Wedding: Please arrive to the church between 6-6:15pm to ensure enough time to be seated before our processions begin. We ask that if you arrive after 6:25pm to please wait until after the full wedding party has processed down the aisle before entering the ceremony.
Welcome Party:
Guests should wear business casual attire for our Welcome Party!
Wedding:
Our dress code is Black Tie (optional). Black Tie (optional) means black tie is encouraged - but don't stress! We ask that you refrain from wearing colors that are traditionally reserved for the bride such as white / cream. We want all guests to feel comfortable in whatever they choose to wear, but we love the idea of having all of our friends and family dressed up for the night! Our suggestion is floor length dresses for ladies & tuxes / black or dark dressy suits for the gentlemen.
