12:00 - 2:00 p.m. —> Arrive at hotel anytime before now and show time to get a ride to Lac Lavon Park; keep in mind that the show starts at 2 p.m. and the bus leaves every 20-25 minutes, so please plan to arrive enough in advance you don’t miss the opening acts!
Each guest will have seating at a table of eight aligned with a particular circus act! Once you arrive at the venue, there will be a spot with all the place cards where you can find your name and table. Have some popcorn, wander, and play games until it’s time for the show!
2:00 - 3:00 p.m. —>The wedding ceremony will be integrated with a circus show put together by North Star Circus Arts. More details will be on the programs passed out the day of! You will be seated at your dinner tables for the performance.
3:00 - 5:00 p.m. —> The bar is now open! For this chunk of time, you can drink, eat popcorn, socialize, jump on some inflatables, and play some lawn games (weather permitting - if it’s gross out, we’ll have board games too). We’re by a playground, a volleyball court, and a horseshoe pitch! Justin and Sara have curated a background Cocktail Hour Circus Playlist :)
5:00 - 6:30ish p.m. —> Dinner time! We’re having pizza delivered from Pizza Luce and Dominoes. Your place card will remind you what pizza you ordered on the back. Please start by getting that pizza, and once everyone has been served, then help yourself to whatever pizza. Once everyone has food, the wedding party will be giving some speeches, and then we would like to do a group sing-a-long (encouraged, but not required) to a song called “Here’s A Health to the Company” by The Longest Johns. There will be lyrics on your programs and on the TV screens :) Then, we will have cake!
6:30ish - 10:00 p.m. —> After dinner and dessert, we’ll have socializing, dancing, and drinks for the rest of the night until we close down this local public park! Justin and Sara have put together a curated playlist for this portion of the evening, as well. Cotton Eye Joe will be played :p
