FAQs

Question

Is the ceremony going to be a Catholic Wedding Mass?

Answer

Yes! The Mass will be about an hour long and will be a faithful reflection of the covenant that we will be entering into with God. Holy Communion will be offered for practicing Catholics in a state to receive the Eucharist, but everyone is welcome to come forward to the altar for an individual blessing.

Question

Will there be a place for young children during Mass?

Answer

Yes! There will be a "cry room" for your little ones that like to vocalize their emotions. The room will also have a live video feed of the ceremony so you won't miss a thing!

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

Answer

To preserve the spirit of worship, please refrain from all cell phone use (including photography) while inside the chapel. We ask that all phones be silenced and put away. We want everyone to be fully present with us and for our photographer to be able to capture the best pictures which we will share with you. Once the Mass is over, feel free to take as many pictures as you'd like and don't forget to share them with us!

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We'd love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day, but comfort is a must. Jeans/denim without holes are acceptable, but please avoid shades of white. Please dress for the weather as the reception is not air conditioned nor heated.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

Mass will begin at 2:00pm. Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to allow time for parking and finding your seat.

Question

Can I bring a guest/date?

Question

Are kids welcome?
