A nuptial mass is a wedding ceremony performed in the Catholic Church. Our nuptial mass will be celebrated at St. Elizabeth of Hungary in Denver, a historic mission church founded by the archbishop to assist students on the auraria campus.
We welcome all guests to our Catholic wedding ceremony with open hearts! If you're not Catholic, simply respect the Eucharist during communion. When communion is served, you can either remain seated or cross your arms if you approach the altar. For ceremony movements, follow the lead of the bride and groom, who will be positioned in the center aisle. Please know that your presence means the world to us, and we completely understand if you feel uncomfortable attending a Catholic mass. Your love and support matter most to us, regardless of religious differences.
Our wedding ceremony will be a beautiful, traditional Catholic Mass lasting approximately one hour. A printed program will guide guests through the liturgy, featuring the mass ordinary chants in Latin. The ceremony will follow this sacred sequence: Entrance Readings Gospel Homily Nuptial Blessing Communion Offertory to Mary Final Blessing and Recessional
We have professional videographers and a photographer capturing our ceremony. We kindly ask that you put away your phones and devices during the ceremony to fully experience the moment with us. Photography and videography by guests are welcome during the reception and outside the church.
Yes, there is accessible parking nearby the entrance as well as multiple ramps to enter the church.
During our wedding mass, participation is entirely optional. We'll provide a physical program to guide you through the ceremony. Our quartet will perform the mass ordinaries in Latin, while the responsorial psalm, blessings, and prayers will be in English. We understand that Catholic traditions and Latin can be unfamiliar, so please feel comfortable simply observing our sacramental union or reflecting quietly if you prefer.
We kindly request an adults-only reception to create an elegant evening for our guests. While children are welcome at the ceremony—where close family members will have little ones serve as ring bearers and flower girls—the reception will be a sophisticated, child-free celebration. Please refer to your RSVP for specific details about guest count and attendance.
For any additional questions, please contact Hannah Hughes, the maid of honor, at +1 (720) 546-6446. We appreciate your understanding in helping to minimize stress for the bride.
