For the ceremony: free parking is available across the street from the church at Sacred Heart Cathedral School (parking lot inside the black metal fence and along the side on E Moreno St.). There is also limited street parking in front of the church. For the reception: free parking is available at or nearby the Supposey property. Parking attendants will be present for assistance.
Please arrive at least 15-30 minutes prior to the start of the ceremony (1 pm CST) to allow for enough time to find seats and get settled before the procession. Out of town guests, make sure to account for the time difference when making travel plans.
We are opting for an unplugged ceremony and kindly request for no pictures or videos to be taken on personal devices during the ceremony. As with any Catholic mass, cell phones must be on silent. This will allow everyone to be fully present for the ceremony and make sure our photographers and videographers can get the best shots. We will have 4 professional photographers and videographers to document our big day, and we will make sure to share all photos and videos with our guests!! Everyone is welcome to take pictures and videos during the reception! If you post on social media, please use our wedding hashtag #ADreamComeWu so we can easily look back on the memories!
For non-Catholics, attending a mass can be confusing if you don’t know what’s happening. The congregation sings songs, recites prayers, listens attentively, and responds to the priest together, with a lot of transitions between sitting, standing, and kneeling. A ceremony program will be provided and our priest will provide some instructions to help guide our non-Catholic guests during the mass. Here is a general outline of what happens during a Catholic mass: https://smcaustin.org/outline-of-the-roman-catholic-mass. If anything, just look around and try to follow what people are doing, while remaining quiet and respectful :)
We will be having a modified open bar for the cocktail hour and reception that will serve beer, wine, seltzers, and signature cocktails!
