When and where is the wedding?

Our ceremony and reception will be held at Goldberry Woods in Union Pier, Michigan. Full timing and weekend details can be found on the 'Our Wedding Weekend' page.

What’s the dress code?

Autumn Cocktail. Think elevated, seasonal, and comfortable. A cocktail dress with your favorite cashmere sweater or a sharp suit with softer textures, polished boots, loafers all fit the vibe. We’ll be outdoors on grass, so sensible shoes are encouraged.

Will events be indoors or outdoors?

The ceremony and dinner will take place outdoors. As dusk sets in, the celebration will move indoors for dancing and the rest of the evening.

Are children invited?

Yes, we love kids and invite them to the Ceremony and Dinner. Please let us know in your RSVP if you plan to bring children, and any dietary restrictions for their meal.

When dancing starts around 8:00pm, we’ll ask children to head out for the evening.

Are all the events on the agenda required?

Absolutely not. Everything outside of the Wedding Celebration is entirely optional. Come for what sounds fun, skip what doesn’t, and make the weekend your own.

Where should we stay?

There are several great lodging options in Union Pier and nearby New Buffalo. We’ve shared recommended nearby hotels and rentals on the 'Lodging' page. Immediate family will be staying on site at Goldberry Woods.

What accessibility accommodations are available?

Goldberry Woods offers several accessibility features, including ramp access to the Inn, wide doorways, and ADA-compliant guest suites with barrier-free showers and grab bars. The barn venue also includes an ADA-accessible restroom. If you have specific needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We want everyone to feel comfortable and supported.

Is the property hard to navigate on foot?

Not at all. The ceremony, dinner, and reception spaces are very close together and easy to move between.

What if I have dietary restrictions?

Please let us know when you RSVP. We’ll make sure the caterer is aware and able to accommodate.

Are gifts expected?

Your presence truly means the most to us. If you’d like to give a gift, details are available on the 'Registry' page.

Can I drive to the Wedding?

Yes, there will be parking available on site. Visit our 'Travel' page for details on transportation.

Will there be transportation to and from the wedding?

For guests staying within a 10-minute drive, we will coordinate transportation to the wedding on request. Please indicate your interest on your RSVP. Pickup windows will be shared via text the week of the wedding, with pickups scheduled between 4:00–4:45 PM.

At the end of the evening, return rides will be available on request. An on-site driver will be available throughout the night to take you home, until 11:00 PM.

Who should I contact if I have questions during the weekend?

You can contact Kate or Lauren with any questions. The day of the wedding, we will share the contact information of our planner for any urgent needs.
