Cocktail attire suitable for winter. Hats allowed after dinner service.
Where is the ceremony and reception?
Both the ceremony and reception will take place at The Rutledge (120 Ionia Ave SW, Suite 101, Grand Rapids, MI 49503).
When should I RSVP?
We’d greatly appreciate it if you could RSVP as soon as possible after receiving your invitation! We kindly ask that all RSVPs be submitted by October 30th. Unfortunately, any invitations not responded to by that date will be considered “not attending” due to vendor deadlines.
Where to go after ceremony and before reception?
After the ceremony, we’ll need all guests to step away for about an hour and a half while we prepare for the reception. Don’t worry—there are plenty of fantastic bars and restaurants just a short walk away: Peppino’s, One Twenty Three Tavern, Dublin Hall, Luna, Hopcat, Stella’s Lounge, etc. Guests are welcomed to return to the venue at 5:30pm to enjoy drinks prior to dinner service.
Are children invited?
While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only event.
Can I bring a plus one?
Due to limited space, we can only accommodate those guests specifically named on the invitation.
Where should I stay the night of the wedding?
We’ve reserved a block of rooms at the Canopy by Hilton, conveniently located right across from The Rutledge (131 Ionia Ave SW, Grand Rapids, MI 49503). You’ll find the booking link in the Hotel Accomodation section of our website.
Will there be a bar?
Yes! Drinks are on us. Please plan ahead and make sure you have a safe ride home.
