Our goal is to keep our very special day as intimate as possible, we are choosing to celebrate with only our closest family and friends. Thank you for respecting our wishes.

We love your children, but due to space restrictions we cannot accommodate them all on our wedding day. We have decided to only allow children of our immediate families.

We are having an open bar with beer and wine

A wedding card box will be at our reception, or if you'd like to add to our honeymoon fund, it can be found on this website under the registry tab. Just click on "gift any amount" and it will be sent directly to our fund.

The ceremony will begin promptly at 6:00 pm, so allowing 15-20 minutes before is recommended.

Yes! Parking is just across the street from the venue. This is located off of 2nd street. When you turn onto Michigan, 2nd street will be your 2nd right (a paved road, not gravel). When you turn right, continue down 100 feet and the parking lot will be on your left. The parking lot is private parking. Police officers will be servicing most of our event/keeping an eye on our parking lot. If you need to leave your car overnight, you will not be towed. All that Butler's Courtyard asks is that you leave it located in the parking lot rather than directly in front of our venue.

During the ceremony we would like to keep it "unplugged" so we asked that phones are put away. At the reception please take pictures and add them to our shared album!

As the wedding location is local to the majority of our guests we are not doing a hotel block, however there are many options near by for those who wish to stay closer to the venue! South Shore Harbor Resort comes highly recommended by Butler's Courtyard.
