FAQs
Question
If I am not a Catholic, can I attend the Mass or receive Communion?
Answer
If you are not a practicing Catholic, PLEASE come to the Mass!!! Everyone is welcome to attend the Mass and we would be overjoyed to see you there! Regarding the Sacrament of Holy Communion, we respectfully ask that you do not receive. Per the teachings of the Catholic Church, receiving Communion is reserved to practicing Catholics in good standing with the Church.

Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
April 12, 2026
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Yes, there is a dress code. For the Wedding Ceremony and Mass, please wear something appropriate for attending a Solemn High Latin Mass (slightly more conservative and formal than a typical Sunday Mass). Veils are welcome for Women, though not required. For the merriment to follow, you may remain in the garb as requested for the Mass, if you wish, though we would also like to encourage a more fantastical dress if that is something you would enjoy and feel comfortable in (NO pressure, just fun). For this reason, we welcome the addition of shorts, cloaks, capes, tasteful armour pieces, flower crowns, and elf ears to the Mocktail Hour and Reception ONLY. For any additional questions regarding dress, please email: noelandamarislaflamme@gmail.com
Question
Will there be alcohol provided at the wedding celebrations? Or will it be BYOB?
Answer
No. None of the above. This will be an alcohol free wedding. Please respect our decision on this matter and do NOT bring your own. Tasty non-alcoholic beverages will be provided.
Question
Are children welcome?
Answer
Yes! We would love to have your children attend! Please, just make sure to include them when you RSVP. There will be a corner with toys and activities at the Reception for young children to play with and menu selections for them as well. If you have children that are not on your RSVP that you would like to bring, please email us at noelandamarislaflamme@gmail.com to add them.
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
12:45 pm at the latest to ensure making it in before the Procession.
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
Regrettably, due to our budget restrictions, we have needed to restrict the number of plus ones for those on our guest list. Please do not bring any guests that you do not RSVP for as we do not have the funds to accommodate them. For any additional questions, please email: noelandamarislaflamme@gmail.com
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
Yes, there is a parking lot next to Saints John and James Church and across the street from the church, HOWEVER, there is a Vigil Mass for Sunday between the end of the Nuptial Mass and the beginning of the Reception. For this reason, please move your vehicles to Saint Mary's Mission Church at 70 Church Street, West Warwick, RI 02893 for the Mocktail Hour after the Nuptial Mass. Following the Mocktail Hour, guests will be able to move their cars back to the parking lots by Saints John and James Church. Carpooling is encouraged.
