The ceremony should not last longer than 30-40 minutes. After the ceremony you may choose to explore the many local pubs or restaurants that downtown Utica has to offer... nothing is more than 5-12 minutes from the venue. Another idea would be to return to your hotels and relax, freshen up, or enjoy a drink with friends. Shuttles will then bring you to the venue by 5 so you will not need to drive your cars.

This is a formal wedding, women should wear mid to floor length dresses and men should wear suits - or suit pants with dress shirts. There is no color theme or strict code.

As much as the bride and groom would love to spend more time with you all, they will not be having a "morning after" breakfast. They need to get home to their puppies and start preparing to leave Monday morning for their honeymoon!

We do love all of your littles, but we hope you understand, kids are not invited to our Wedding.
