Wedding Party

We are so excited to share this day with everyone! To help set the tone for our wedding, we kindly ask that guests dress in semi-formal attire.

»Ladies- think midi-length dress, dressy jumpsuits, or elegant separates. Heels or flats are encouraged, whatever you feel the most comfortable in!

»Gents- opt for a suit or dress pants paired with a blazer. A tie is preferred, and dress shoes to match.

Most importantly, we want everyone to feel comfortable and confident while celebrating with us. We can’t wait to see everyone looking their best!

Dress Code

Q + A

We have reserved a number of rooms for the weekend for our guests at the DoubleTree less than a mile away from our venue! There is another hotel option listed below, though this one is certainly within walking distance for those of us who may want to continue to imbibe after the reception.

Lodging 

Some of our favorite spots around CRANDIC-

P.S. CRANDIC = Cedar Rapids and Iowa City :)

Hometown of the groom — Marion Square: Charming downtown with antique shops, cozy cafes, and some great restaurants and bars all within easy walking distance.

Marion Square

Market with shops, services, art, live music, a food court, and event space — a lively spot to browse local makers, grab a bite, catch a performance, or relax.

NewBo

If you're in town early enough on Saturday, stop by the Cedar Rapids farmers market! There are lots of vendors and plenty of good food (and coffee) to enjoy! The market is open from 7:30AM-12PM on Saturday, 9/5.

Cedar Rapids Farmer's Market

If you're looking for walkable bars and good food, head down to Iowa City! Bonus points if you go to Joe's Place and enjoy the rooftop bar!

Iowa City Pedestrian Mall

A great spot if you're looking for good food and drinks without the large college crowd. Tribute, Marquee, and 30Hop have great food and drinks, the latter also has a nice rooftop area to enjoy the (hopefully) good September Iowa weather!
