Normally it is on the opposite side of the campus of Washington University from Graham Chapel, but unfortunately construction has forced the carnival to move to "our" side of campus this year. This is likely to make parking near the chapel much more of a challenge, so you might want to give yourself an extra 15 minutes or so to find parking. Rehearsal Believe it or not, the rehearsal is at the same location as the wedding ceremony (Graham Chapel at Washington University in St. Louis) on the evening before. It is scheduled to start at 6:00pm on Friday, April 12th 2002, and we ask all of those in the wedding party to attend. If you cannot make it, please let us know. For directions, see the ceremony location. Rehearsal dinner The rehearsal dinner is at Rigazzi's, which is on "The Hill" in St. Louis. It should start between 7:00pm and 7:30pm. Rigazzi's address is 4945 Dagget Avenue in St. Louis, and is difficult to find for the novice St. Louis navigator. To get there, head south on Kingshighway from I-64/US40 (or from I-44). Shortly after you cross under the I-44 bridge, you will notice Kingshighway rising to bridge some train tracks. Stay in the far right lane that does not go onto the bridge. It turns into a small road that will leave you under the bridge where there will be a street you can turn right onto (Dagget). Turn right, and Rigazzi's is one block down on the right. Their phone number is: (314) 772-4900. Ceremony The ceremony will be taking place on Saturday, April 13th at 12:30pm, and will be held in Graham Chapel. It is located on the main campus of Washington University in St. Louis behind Edison Theatre, Mallinckrodt Center and Umrath Hall (pretty much one big building). Click here to see a map of the main campus (it's in section 2). Click here for a MapQuest map. To get there from I-64/US40 westbound, exit Clayton Road, and turn right at the first light (Skinker Road). The fourth (I think) light will be Forsythe. Take a left. Halfway down to the next light, notice Edison Theatre and Mallinckrodt center on the right (North) side of the street and park in their parking lot. Graham Chapel is a large ornate chapel unattached to any other building, sitting behind Mallinckrodt Center/Umrath Hall. Reception The reception will be at the Mahler Ballroom at 5:30pm on the day of the ceremony, where dinner and drinks will be served. It is located at 4915 Washington in the Central West End, just west of Euclid on the north side of the road. Euclid is parallel to Kingshighway, one street to the east. Parking is available at the Trinity Church which is on Washington as well, but on the other side of Euclid. Reception (California) We will be having a second reception for our California friends on Saturday, May 4 at the Grandview Restaurant near San Jose. It is located about 4 miles up the the mountain on the way to Mount Hamilton and overlooks Silicon Valley. Their address is 94 Mount Hamilton Road (MapQuest), and their phone number is 408-251-8909. Cocktails are at 6pm and dinner is at 7pm. Dress is semi-formal. Directions: From I-680, exit Alum Rock/CA-130 to the east. After about 2 miles, to continue on CA-130, you'll need to make a right turn onto Mt. Hamilton Road. There will be a sign guiding you towards Mt. Hamilton. Continue on up Mt. Hamilton Road for almost exactly 4 miles, and you'll see the restaurant on the right side of the road overlooking Silicon Valley. Mapquest says that it's only 2.41 miles down Mt. Hamilton road, but that is incorrect. Perhaps that is as the crow flies.
