Welcome!

Whether you'll be coming in from Wapiti or West Allis, Chicago or Charlotte, a town in Lewis County or an Adams County country road (or any other spot across the US - you get the picture!), we could not be more excited to share our wedding weekend with you in Miranda's hometown. 

This website outlines all the information and logistics you'll need for the weekend. As you'll notice in the details below, all of the events (rehearsal dinner bbq, ceremony and reception) are adults-only celebrations due to the number of guests attending and capacity constraints at some of our venues. We can provide assistance in lining up childcare services if needed - don't hesitate to let us know!

If you have any additional questions or need anything at all, please reach out to John or Miranda directly.

We absolutely cannot wait to celebrate with you!

'I DO' BBQ

To kick off the weekend, we'd like to invite all out of town guests and those in the Quincy area to join us at our Rehearsal Dinner BBQ.

The 'I Do' BBQ will be a hog roast (a Schreiner family tradition!) hosted at the home of the bride's father and stepmother. We hope you can join us for a casual evening of delicious BBQ (complete with all the sides/fixins), great company and a cold drink or two. See location details below:

Please note, given extremely limited parking, we're kindly asking all guests (including those who live locally) to take the complimentary shuttle service provided for this event. Shuttles will pick at the Country Inn & Suites and the Holiday Inn hotels at 6:15 p.m., and will return guests to these hotels by ~10:00 p.m.
