FAQs

Question

Is parking easily available at the venues?

Answer

Absolutely! The church has a private carpark in the back with plenty of parking. The reception venue is valet ONLY and their team is incredibly efficient. We recommend carpooling and a designated driver for all those who plan to consume alcohol!

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We invite you to wear formal attire. We can’t wait to see our loved ones looking sharp and elegant in suits and dresses. Indian formal attire is always welcome! The bride will be wearing white with the groom dressed in black. We kindly request that all guests observe modesty as our ceremony will be held in a Sacred place of worship. Besides, it will be chilly outside, so we recommend dressing warm!

Question

Tell me more about the church!

Answer

St. Philip the Apostle Church in Pasadena is a quietly majestic testament to faith and craftsmanship. Its façade—with graceful arches, a stately bell tower, and a warm, earthy tone—hugs the street in humble dignity, while stepping inside reveals stained glass, rich wooden beams, glowing murals, and an altar that feels both sacred and welcoming. Light filters through windows and mosaics, casting gentle color across the pews, evoking a serene and contemplative space where beauty feels spiritual. More than just its architecture, the church’s art, history, and sense of community make it a place that nourishes both heart and soul. We are so Blessed and excited to receive the Sacrament of Marriage at this church!
