What’s the plan?
We’re hosting a few optional, casual events leading up to the wedding, and all of these gatherings are on us. If you’re local (or traveling with little ones), kids are absolutely welcome at these events, even if we weren’t able to accommodate them at the reception. These are meant to be drop-in, come-as-you-are events, so join us whenever you can.
Here’s what the schedule looks like:
Thursday · July 30, 2026
Casual Dinner and Beers
Rhinegeist Brewery at their Rooftop Bar, 1910 Elm St, Cincinnati, OH 45202
6:00–9:00 PM
Kick things off with us at Rhinegeist’s rooftop for a laid-back evening of food, drinks, and catching up. Come by for a quick hello or stay awhile we’ll be hanging out and soaking in one of the best views of the city.
Friday · July 31, 2026
Pizza and Pickleball Tournament
Lunken Playfield, 4740 Playfield Ln, Cincinnati, OH 45226

Pizza, friendly competition, and plenty of room to just hang out. You’re welcome to jump into the pickleball tournament, cheer from the sidelines, or simply come socialize. Bring any and all extra paddles you have on hand. Be there by 6:00pm to to ensure we can work you into the bracket.

Wedding Reception
Colette OTR
5:30 PM
Time to celebrate for realz with an unforgettable night together at Colette…a funky French-inspired restaurant located in Cincinnati’s Over the Rhine neighborhood. It's right across from scenic Washington Park, making it a beautiful and lively spot in the heart of downtown. There is a parking garage located directly across from the restaurant beneath Washington Park at 1310 Elm St, Cincinnati, OH 45202. However, we strongly recommend using a rideshare service or the complimentary shuttle from the Summit Hotel, as the downtown concert is expected to make parking limited and more expensive.
