Our wedding will warmly welcome children, though we kindly request that parents or guardians supervise their little ones throughout the ceremony and reception. While we won't offer a dedicated children's menu, our buffet will provide options for them to pick and choose. Please note that we won't have specific childcare services or entertainment, so we recommend bringing children only if you feel they will be comfortable and well-managed. Kids are absolutely welcome to join the celebration and dance floor with us!

What if only some of the guests in my party can attend?

Answer

We understand that not everyone will be able to make it. If someone in your party is unable to attend please select no next to their name when you RSVP. This will help us get an accurate guest count for our venue.

If you are joining us for the ceremony, we kindly ask that you arrive by 12:30 pm to give time to park and be seated before the ceremony begins at 1 pm. We invite all of our guests to join us at cocktail hour at our reception venue which will begin at 4:30 pm.

Question

What do we do between the ceremony and the reception?

Answer

Due to our ceremony being a Nuptial Mass, it will begin at 1 in the afternoon and end around 2. This leaves a gap between our wedding reception that begins at 4:30 pm with cocktail hour.
