The dress code is formal. Formal wedding attire sits between cocktail and black tie on the wedding dress code scale. It's slightly more elevated than cocktail attire and a touch less dressy than black-tie. Think suits for men and long dresses for women (midi and knee-length dresses, as well as dressy separates or pantsuits, are also appropriate).

Both the ceremony and reception will take place indoors. Please keep in mind the ceremony parking is outdoor street parking, and there may be a short walk outdoors to the ceremony.

We love your little ones, but due to space restrictions, we cannot accommodate anyone under 18 on our wedding day.

Our ceremony starts at 2pm, and the doors to the venue open at 1pm. We encourage you to arrive 30 to 45 minutes before the ceremony begins. There is ample street parking near the Piper Palm House in Tower Grove Park, but depending on where exactly you park, you may expect to walk 5 to 10 minutes to the ceremony location.

Yes. The ceremony starts at 2pm and cocktail hour starts at 5pm. During the downtime, we encourage our guests to take advantage of all St. Louis has to offer. Take a stroll or drive through Tower Grove Park, check out Tower Grove Pride Fest, grab a (small) bite and a drink somewhere nearby, or relax back at the hotel before a night of celebration! Spots close to the ceremony venue include Hartford Coffee Company, Well Met Cafe, Ices Plain and Fancy, and Sasha's Wine Bar. A bit further afield (a short drive away), Rockwell Beer Company (1320 S. Vandeventer Ave) has a big patio that would be a great spot to grab a brew and enjoy the weather. Suggested establishments close to the reception include the Moniker cocktail bar (1000 Washington Ave), Rosalita's Cantina, Fountain on Locust, Union Station, or Laclede's Landing. There is also a lobby bar at the Marriott and another one at the Magnolia Hotel next door. See "Things to Do" tab for details.

Please see the "Travel" tab for important information on parking in Tower Grove Park this weekend. Complimentary valet and self parking is available at the Marriott Grand during the reception. For those who want to self-park, the garage is an adjacent, detached parking garage accessed via 9th St. (it is right across the street from the hotel). Valet and self-parking vouchers will be available from the bartenders at the reception. There is an additional fee for overnight valet parking at the hotel, for those staying in the room block. Please see the "Travel" tab for more information.

There will not be a shuttle service between the ceremony site and the reception. Free parking is reserved for guests on the Pond Loop in Tower Grove Park near the Piper Palm House (park staff will be on-site to help direct parking). Complimentary valet and self parking is provided for our guests at the Marriott Grand. Rideshare (Uber, Lyft) is encouraged for those guests not wishing to stay in our room block at the hotel where the reception will be hosted.

Please RSVP no later than August 31, 2026 via the "RSVP" tab.

Please let us know about any food allergies or other concerns when you RSVP.
