Saturday: The Big Day!!

All the Need-to-Know (and Nice-to-Know) Info

🗓️ The Day of the Thing

Saturday, August 9, 2025

Ceremony kicks off at 2:00 PM sharp-ish

Arrive around 1:00 PM to grab a drink, make your way down to the beach, find a seat, and chat with your neighbors.

📍 Where It’s All Happening

Everything—ceremony, celebration, awkward mingling—will be at the Airbnb we rented.

7113 S Scenic Dr, New Era, MI 49446

There’s space in the driveway and yard. But if you can carpool, you’ll win our undying affection and maybe a better parking spot (no promises).

👗 Attire: Semi-Formal (with Outdoor Sensibility)

Attire is semi-formal—a little fancier than cocktail, a little looser than formal. Dress to be comfortable in the summer heat, but also ready for things to cool down in the evening, especially by the lake. Shoe-wise, this is an outdoor wedding on grass, so heels might sink. Flats, wedges, or danceable shoes are your friends. Steve and Julia will be barefoot.

☀️ Weather: Probably Hot

This is August. It will likely be warm. Perhaps even sweaty. But it cools off a lot as you get close to Lake Michigan, so be ready for anything.

All events are outdoors, but we’ve got a tent for dining and mingling, plus some indoor space for cooling off, hiding, or pretending you didn’t cry during the ceremony.

Accomodations

Book a place ASAP! Things fill up fast in West Michigan. Some places you might want to check are Airbnbs near the house (7113 S Scenic Dr, New Era, MI), or hotels in Whitehall, Muskegon, or Ludington. Get a place as close to our house as you can!
