Wedding Party

Cocktail attire refers to a style of dress that is at the same time refined and comfortable. It matches on one hand the significant (formal), and on the other the convivial (fun and relaxed) nature of our wedding.-Brass Tacks:Most websites put it somewhere in the middle of semi-formal and formal on the dressiness scale, or you can think of it as formal you can wear outside. If you are stylish and enjoy assembling elegant outfits with more creativity in mind please feel free to do so. If you hate thinking about that kind of thing, you can't go wrong by following the guide below.-Gentlemen-Dress Shirt-Slacks, Kachis, etc.-Jacket-Tie (Optional, especially based on forecast closer to wedding day)-Ladies-Cocktail dress or jumpsuit-Colors and patterns welcome-Important ConsiderationMore so than anything else, consider lighter and more breathable fabrics. Late spring in Arizona brings high temperatures, but for those coming from out of town, you will find that with the desert breeze and dry climate it will feel much more mild than it would in a place with more humidity, provided your clothes are appropriate for the climate.

Q + A

We have a room block for this hotel. If you would like to stay here, book by 5/1 using this link: <a href="https://www.hyatt.com/events/en-US/group-booking/PHXDT/G-MAN1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.hyatt.com/events/en-US/group-booking/PHXDT/G-MAN1</a>&nbsp; This hotel is in the heart of Tempe, and walking distance to All Saints Catholic Church. It is conveniently located on Mill Ave, a great street for shopping, nightlife, and restaurants. You will also be walking distance from the ASU campus, which is a beautiful place to explore!

Tempe Mission Palms, a Destination by Hyatt Hotel

PHX This is the main airport servicing the valley. Chances are, your cheapest and quickest option for getting to town will be this airport. Conveniently located right in the heart of town and close to everything.

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport

AZA This is the second biggest airport in the valley. People forget about it, but it is only 5 minutes further from the venue and is still right here in town. It mostly services Allegiant Air and Sun Country, but there are other small airlines that operate here as well. It is worth a look, especially if you are coming from the Great Planes/Midwest area.

Mesa Gateway Airport

TUS This is certainly the worst choice on this list. But it is there if the flight prices are significantly better for where you are coming from. Tucson is about 2 hours from Phoenix, but there are busses that go between the cities, and they have rental cars if you are looking to do that and drive.
