ceremony details

we left them off on purpose! we’re having an intimate exchange of vows with our immediate families right before the reception and can’t wait to celebrate with you as husband + wife!

cocktail attire inspiration

we want you to have an excuse to dress up—wear something you don’t get to break out often! or buy something you’ve had your eye on for a while! while we envision dresses & jackets, we trust your judgement (& google). color, pattern, and texture welcomed!

a preview of the dinner menu

for those like us who need to review the options before patronizing a restaurant—the sonny’s menu can be found here! we’ll be serving the highlights family style. get ready for the best caesar salad of your life!

to replace a forgotten toiletry

there is a cvs open til midnight across from the hotel. there is also an ace hardware that is worth walking through—you might find something you didn’t know you needed!

a last-minute mani / pedi

carly loves enchanted nails & lucky nails on 18th!

a pregame spot

save some love for the (very) open bar! but st. vincent is a welcoming wine bar & midlands is a classic beer garden. both are within walking distance of sonny’s & lovely places to spend an afternoon.

a postgame snack

there are several 24/7 options nearby! 7-eleven & mcdonald’s are right next to the hotel. further down 18th, you’ll find the diner with classic diner fare all night. if you’re not tired of pizza, there are a number of places to grab a jumbo slice.

a +1 but they weren’t listed on my invitation

tell us about them! we can’t guarantee that we’ll have room for everyone’s guests, but make your case as to why they’d be a great addition and we’ll try our best to accommodate!

a +1 but i don’t have anyone in mind

we would love to set you up with one of our wedding-goers! let us know if you’re single and ready to mingle, and carly will (happily) get back to her matchmaking roots.
