FAQs

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

"One can never be over-dressed or over-educated." --Oscar Wilde We encourage our guests to wear what makes them feel most beautiful/handsome and special, and assure you that the vintage charm of the church and venue allows you to get as formal as you want without looking "out of place". We will be having our wedding ceremony at a Catholic Church, however will not judge if any guest prefers to take shoes off and dance as long as it's done at the reception only.

Question

What is your theme?

Answer

"A little bit of magic". We'll make some nods to fantasy and fiction, and with a victorian-style reception venue and cathedral it will definitely feel surreal. However we will maintain grace and elegance too (as long as no fantastic beasts get in the way, of course....)

Question

What do you think the weather will be like?

Answer

It's predicted to be in the mid 50s in October 2025 for coastal Connecticut, with the online farmer's almanac predicting a 3 degree below average temp at this time (estimated around 53-56 degrees) with likely probabilities of rain.

Question

What airport should I fly into?

Answer

You could probably start by looking into Hartford-Bradley int'l (BDL) or Providence-Green (PVD). PVD is about 53min from the venue and BDL is about 1hr 15min. Farther airports are Boston-Logan (BOS) at about 2.5hrs away, LaGuardia Int'l (LGA) about 3.5hrs away, or Burlington Int'l (BTV) about 4.5hrs away if you're looking to explore more of the area prior to or after the event.

Question

Will there be ADA accommodations?

Answer

Yes. A big factor in choosing a venue for us was accessibility. Our venue does have elevator access to the second floor/balcony/overlook and has ramps that lead to the outdoor areas and patios. The venue itself is well-lit and our DJ is providing additional lighting as well. There will also be a dedicated "quiet corner" away from the speakers and bustle in case any guests need a break or a place to chat without feeling separated from the party.

Question

Will there be accommodations for food allergies or restrictions?

Answer

Absolutely. We are working closely with our caterers to create a menu that accommodates all currently known allergies and restrictions. When you receive your invitation, please make any additional intolerances known. Please don't wait until the reception to alert the caterers of any issues.
