When do I need to RSVP by?
We kindly ask that you and your party RSVP by TK DATE.
Can I take pictures during the ceremony?
We want everyone to be fully present with us as we make this commitment, so we kindly ask that all guests stow and silence their phones during the ceremony. This also gives our photographer, Eliza, and videographers, Joshua and Ally, the best chance to capture our ceremony. We will happily share both photos and our video once we receive them.
Are children welcome?
We adore your children, but we are keeping our wedding day as an adult-only occasion. Children are invited to attend Friday's festivities. Please reach out to the bride for a list of local babysitters should you wish to arrange childcare for the night of the wedding.
What will the weather be like?
October in Columbus brings lovely autumn temperatures, with averages in the the high 70s. The ceremony, cocktail hour, and post-dinner toast will all happen outside if weather allows. Dinner will be seated inside The Illges House.
What is the dress code?
TK: On Friday evening, we'll be kicking off the wedding weekend with a relaxed porch party. Casual outfits and jeans are welcome! For the main event on Saturday, we're asking all our guests to put their best-dressed foot forward for a black tie evening in the gardens if the historic Illges House.
Do I need to pack my dancing shoes?
We love to dance, but we will not be having a dance floor at the wedding. Think of it as a black-tie dinner party with your closest friends and family. Don't worry, though, there will be live music throughout the night!
What time should I arrive?
The wedding ceremony starts promptly at 6 o'clock in the evening. We ask that all guests arrive 15 to 30 minutes early and enter through the rear of the Illges House to receive your champagne welcome.
Where should I park?
Limited parking is available behind The Illges House. For those that are planning to indulge in the evening's merriment, we ask that you take ride share services such as Uber. The Illges House is also a short 10 minute walk from The Hotel Indigo.
Will you be playing the Georgia-Auburn game?
While they have not yet announced the time of the game, we will be sure to have a television available for our die-hard fans if the game occurs during our wedding. (Go Dawgs!) We're just happy there isn't an F1 race on!
