Lowe Mill is our venue for the wedding reception on May 3rd. We're planning on throwing a great big casual party on the bottom floor of the Mill. It'll most likely be a nice block of time (tentatively starting at 1pm till we close down the place). So guests can drop by and stay for as long as they'd like to visit - an hour - or the whole time!
Lowe Mill is an awesome venue - big open spaces, wood floors with exposed brick and huge windows. Originally it was a textile Mill, then a shoe factory that apparently supplied a lot of the combat boots for Vietnam. Here's some more history on the Mill. Presently Lowe Mill is home to - Lowe Mill Arts and Entertainment - whose 2nd floor hosts Susan Knecht's fully operational Glass Blowing studio, the Flying Monkey, Artisan Bread by Fred Bread, Vertical House Records, Karma Rags, Tina's Cantina - and a whole bunch of other artsy coolness. On Saturdays - like our May 3rd - they usually hold an artists market on the second floor where local artist and craftsmen come to exhibit and sell their wares. So there will be more to explore at the reception than just our party!
The party will be all the fun of a regular wedding reception without all the formality. Like I said - casual - as in no uncomfortable stiff clothes required - dressy casual down to jeans it totally cool with us. I'm going to collect songs for an iTunes DJ and then we'll hopefully have a live band after a nice buffet style dinner. Yes, there will be a wedding cake for dessert! We do have a few more surprises in store for the reception - such as a geocaching event in the afternoon from 1-5pm - a pinata for the kids, (& probably one for the adults too) and a few other quirky things. I can't give it all away, now can I?
