When should I arrive for the weekend?
Our ceremony and reception won't be until Saturday afternoon (4/25), however we would love to invite all of our friends & family to Keeneland with us on Friday! Check out our "Things to Do" tab for more information.
Is there parking at the venue?
Yes! There is parking at all locations we have activities planned. We plan to tailgate on The Hill at Keeneland where there is ample parking. Our church has a large lot and Country Boy Brewing has a lot for both guests of the brewery and for our guests. There will also be plenty of space to park on the grass next to the entrance to the warehouse.
Can I bring my children?
With our reception being in an active brewery warehouse, there are lots of sharp / hot devices that may be harmful to little children. While we will have a few special children under close supervision for the first part of our reception, we kindly ask that our reception be adult-only.
However, your children are welcome to attend Keeneland with us on Friday as well as the ceremony at our church! We just ask that with the advance notice you'll be able to plan for an adult-only reception at Country Boy on Saturday night.
What is the dress code?
For Keeneland on Friday, there is no official dress code but guests are encouraged to dress in smart casual. Denim is permitted. Dress weather appropriate and be prepared to walk!
For our ceremony & reception on Saturday, we will be in typical wedding attire (white dress & a suit), our families will also be dressed for a semi-formal wedding, however we want YOU to be comfortable! Dress for the weather & similar to Friday, smart-casual! We'd love for our families & extended families to be dressed to take photos with us.
What is the bar situation?
Our venue requires tokens vs. an open bar so we have purchased a set amount of tokens in advance for alcoholic beverages and these will be distributed to guests that are 21+. When the tokens run out, bar tabs can be opened if desired. Don't drink? Give your tokens to a friend who does or we'll have a token donation jar for all those who want a few more!
Do I need tickets to Keeneland to attend the tailgate on Friday?
No! You do not need tickets to tailgate and hang out with us on Friday! We will have space on The Hill to hang out and visit. The map can be found here: https://www.keeneland.com/racing/parking-and-tailgating#hill
