FAQs

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We're asking guests to wear semi-formal attire. This includes dressing in polished, cocktail-style attire appropriate for a wedding celebration. Suits, dress shirts, sport coats/jackets, cocktail dresses, jumpsuits, and dressy separates are all great choices. Ties are welcome but not required. Please avoid anything overly casual attire such as jeans, T-shirts, flip-flops, or sneakers. We also ask you to not wear sage green, ivory, white, or anything that may resemble attire worn by the bride or bridal party.

Question

Where will the wedding be held?

Answer

The ceremony will be held at St. Paul Catholic Church located at 909 Rennie Ave, Richmond. The reception will be held at Meadowbrook Country Club located at 3700 Cogbill Rd, Richmond. For our guests weary of Richmond parking, fear not as both our venues have parking lots with plenty of parking spaces available!

Question

I've never been to a Catholic wedding...What should I expect?

Answer

Our ceremony will be celebrated in a Catholic church, but will not include a full Mass, so it will be relatively short (about ~45 minutes). The ceremony will include readings chosen by the bride and groom, prayers, exchanging of vows, and the exchanging of rings. There may be times when guests are invited to stand or sit, but don’t worry - you will be directed when to do so! You are welcome to participate as you feel comfortable. Our faith is very important to us and we are both very excited to celebrate our wedding in the presence of Our Lord!

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP no later than August 1st.

Question

What time should I arrive for the ceremony?

Answer

Our ceremony begins at 1:30 p.m. and guests will be able to enter the church no more than 30 minutes prior to the ceremony. We advise guests give themselves plenty of time to find their seats so they are not late to the ceremony.

Question

Can I bring a plus-one?

Answer

To keep our wedding celebration intimate, we kindly ask that only those named on the invitation attend. We have carefully curated our guest list and if your invitation includes an additional guest, it will be indicated on your invitation or the RSVP form. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

We ask that out of reverence for Our Lord and to avoid the distraction of others, you do not take your phone out during the ceremony. We have hired two amazing photographers who will be capturing the day from start to finish and we are happy to share these photos with you after! You are more than welcome to take as many photos and videos as you'd like during the reception.

Question

Will you be having a hotel block?

Answer

While we do not have a hotel block reserved, we have identified several options for out-of-town guests who are in need of overnight accommodations. Please see our "Travel" page for more details.
