Dress Code & Timeline

Dress Code: Formal, But Not That Formal

We’re excited to have you celebrate with us, and we’d love for everyone to look the part.  The dress code?  Formal attire.  Nothing too over-the-top, but this is definitely a night to break out your best outfit.

For the ladies:

Cocktail dresses, evening gowns, or whatever that “dressy” option in your wardrobe is.  You know the one.  Feel free to dress up, but don’t feel like you need to bring out the ball gown unless you really want to.

For the gents:

A sharp suit is all we’re asking for here—no need to go full tuxedo.  A well-fitted suit will do just fine, with a nice tie and maybe a pocket square if you’re feeling fancy.

Think of it as an opportunity to look like you’ve got your life together, but not like you’re trying too hard.

Event Timings: A Night to Remember (Or At Least, We Hope So…)

Here’s what you need to know so you don’t accidentally miss the big moments:

Friday, November 7, 2025

    •    Ceremony: 5:30 PM

Please err on the early side!  It’s awkward if you show up late to a wedding, and we can’t promise we’ll save you a seat.

    •    Cocktail Hour: 6:00–7:00 PM

We’ll have drinks and light bites.  It’s a good time to mingle and stretch before the serious business of eating and dancing begins.

    •    Dinner & Dancing: 7:30 PM–Midnight

Dinner will be served at 7:30, followed by a night of dancing.  There will also be desserts and late night snacks, so pace yourself.

    •    Sendoff Breakfast: 9:30–11:00 AM (Next Morning)

The party doesn’t end when the music stops.  Join us for a laid-back breakfast the next morning.  Coffee will be strong, and the conversation even stronger.
