Please dress comfortably for a summer picnic! There is no need to be formal, suit up, or go all out. We are more interested in spending time with those we love than what clothes you’re wearing to celebrate our union

Thank you to all of our out of town guests who have travelled to celebrate with us! Due to the locality for the majority of our guests, we are not blocking off hotel rooms at a hectic location. The picnic is located in a scenic small town of Bolivar, PA. Just under 6 miles away there are 2 hotels in Blairsville, PA (Days Inn and Hampton Inn and Suites). If you would like to get a closer look at where Jordan grew up, you can stay in any of the 3 hotels in Ligonier, PA which is under 12 miles away (Ramada Inn, Colonial House on Main, and Thistledown at Segar House). These options are all available in the travel tab of this website, but you are also welcome to look into other booking sites such as AirBnB, VRBO, etc. We just encourage any traveling guests to look into their options sooner than later to make sure you’re getting a good price in the area you prefer. Any questions can be directed to the couple directly!

Heck no! We have decided to keep a wide range between start time and end time for our picnic so that people can come and go as they please without feeling obligated to stay for a set amount of time. You’re welcome to stay the entire time, or just drop by to say hello, grab a picture with us, have some food and go on your way. We just appreciate the people we love taking the time out of their schedules to celebrate our love with us

Parking will be available directly at the venue, and will be marked accordingly. This is a large area, with ample space for you to park!

Yes! Since we chose to approach our celebration in the format we did, our guest limits have gone down significantly while also increasing the ability to supply activities for humans of all ages to enjoy. Your children are part of our lives too, and we would love to see them there! We will try to include them on your invitation to keep a solid headcount, but as a couple without children, there is always a chance we may forget them (sorry!) If your children are forgotten for any reason and need to be accounted for with food or beverages when you RSVP, just reach out to Jordan or Michael directly with a gentle reminder to add them to the final count to help keep everything straight and organized.

We will be providing all of the food in a buffet/grazing style set up from appetizers, finger foods, and main food items to scrumptious desserts, and everything in between! If you have any dietary restrictions please reach out to Jordan or Valerie directly so we can make sure to have something for everyone! Drinks of all varieties will be provided in cans and bottles for our guests. A complete drink menu is available on our website for what will be readily provided to our guests. If you would like to bring something that is not listed, please feel free to bring your own beverages! We will be asking everyone to fully respect and adhere to a policy of no liquor of any type being brought to the celebration. We thank you for your compliance with the request in advance.

Nope! Our goal is to make sure that everyone who attends of all ages has a relaxing time filled with love, good company, laughs, and making memories. There are no specific events planned or strictly scheduled, but there will be plenty to do to keep everyone entertained!

Our most important goal is to see everyone and personally thank them for being with us to celebrate our union without feeling rushed. We encourage everyone to visit with one another while you sit back and enjoy some music, but a list of available activities, games, entertainment, and other fun for all ages can be found in a detailed list on our website!

We know- it’s going to sound cheesy, but hear us out. Your presence IS our present. We are inviting you to celebrate with us because we love you, and never want to make anyone feel obligated to show that love with any type of present or gift. We have been blessed to be surrounded with such a large community of support throughout our entire journey, and that makes us the richest people out there. While we are in need of nothing, we have made a smaller registry for anyone wishing to gift us a physical item in a traditional fashion. However, our biggest goal and dream is to find the perfect forever home to begin the rest of our lives in. We ask that if you do want to give us a gift beyond your love, that you please consider a cash gift for us to put toward the home we will build our future in together. If there are any concerns or questions, you can always reach out to Valerie directly.

Please reach out to Michael, Jordan, or their family members directly if you have a question that has gone unanswered either on the website or in the Q&A section! We want to make everyone’s time with us as easy as possible so the focus can be on being together to celebrate!
