Question

Where can we park?

Question

Do we have to attend the ceremony at St. Charles Borromeo, or can we just come to the reception?

Answer

We would be truly honored to have you join us for the ceremony as we celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony—it’s a deeply meaningful part of our day. That said, we completely understand if you're only able to attend the reception. You're welcome at either (or both!) parts of the celebration. Just know that if you skip the ceremony, you'll miss the moment we say "I do"—but we’ll still be thrilled to celebrate with you on the dance floor afterward!

Question

Is the venue and cermony indoor or outdoor?

Answer

The ceremony will be held inside the church, and the reception will primarily take place indoors. However, there’s also a charming front porch, a covered back patio, and a green space outdoors. We’d love for everyone to enjoy both the indoor and outdoor areas throughout the evening!
