Branson is full of fun, food, and beautiful views! If you’d like extra time to explore Branson Landing, Lake Taneycomo, or the outlet shops, you’re more than welcome to arrive on Friday.
We’ll officially kick off the celebration on Saturday at 4:00 PM, and we can’t wait to see you then!

For the most convenient experience, we recommend staying at one of the resorts located right next door to Belle Rive Mansion, making it easy to walk to and from the celebration. A few wonderful nearby options include:
The Cottages at Lake Shore – Cozy, scenic lakeside cottages right on Lake Taneycomo, perfect for families or groups
Blue Haven Resort – A small lakefront resort just steps away, ideal for a relaxing stay by the water
Driftwater Resort – A highly rated lakeside resort, well-suited for families, reunions, or fishing getaways
If you choose to stay elsewhere in Branson, we kindly ask that you plan to use a rideshare service. Parking is not available at the venue, and guests staying offsite should consider Ubering from Branson Landing, which is only a short drive away.

Our wedding is intentionally intimate, and every seat has been thoughtfully planned. Because space is very limited, we’re only able to accommodate the guests listed on each invitation. We’re so grateful you’re celebrating with us.

We love your kiddos, but with such an intimate celebration and limited space, we’re unable to host children unless listed on the invitation. We hope you’ll enjoy this as a parents’ weekend getaway and celebrate with us!

While a shuttle will not be provided, we’ve included a few easy options to help you arrive comfortably. Guests may park at Branson Landing and take a short Uber or rideshare to the venue (approximately a 5-minute drive). Please note that parking is not available at the venue itself.
For those staying at the neighboring resorts, we kindly encourage you to enjoy the short walk over to the venue.

Item descriptionOur reception will take place at The Belle Rive in Branson, Missouri. We’re hoping to celebrate outdoors, surrounded by spring air and good company, if the weather allows. If not, we’ll move inside to an equally beautiful space at the same venue.

DRESS FOR THE OCCASION.
Our wedding is styled as a Garden Party Cocktail celebration! Our grooms will be in classic tuxedos and our bridesmaids in yellow, and we’d love for you to join the fun by dressing: colorful, polished, and feeling like your very best self.
Think spring dresses and florals, dress pants with a button-down, blazers, or suits. Heels, flats, loafers, and dress shoes all fit right in — choose something that feels put-together, comfortable, and celebratory.
April weather likes to keep us guessing, so light jackets, layers, or wraps are a great idea.
If you’re ever unsure, our best advice is simple: lean dressier rather than casual. This day means so much to us, and we can’t wait to see everyone looking amazing and celebrating together!
The Garden Party Cocktail Ward-robe
We kindly ask guests to avoid white, ivory, or cream, and to lean away from very dark colors or bold, high-contrast patterns. Think bright, colorful, spring-forward pieces that feel polished and celebratory — your best Ward-robe moment is very welcome! This is mainly aimed at our lovely female friends and family members.
For anyone who prefers neutrals, classic black or gray suits are always a great choice. Above all, we’re just excited to celebrate with you and see everyone looking and feeling their best.
