We are so excited to share this amazing time with you! We chose to exchange vows at the Pavillion in Prairie Woods.  Over 500 acres of natural landscapes to surround Our Lovely Day.

Please find your seat at your assigned table.  The ceremony will start promptly at 2:30pm!

Weather is all over the place right now!  We will have a large outdoor tent available with heaters.  Know that there is a lot of dirt and grass....Sarah will be wearing heels, but I would proceed with caution ;)

Transportation Available

Coach transportation between the Hampton Inn, Northern Inn, and the wedding site will run from 1pm to 2:15pm.

Parking is available if you choose to drive yourself.  Just follow the signs from County Road 29!
