FAQs

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

We love your little ones! However, unless your children are listed on your invitation and when you RSVP, this is an adult only event. We encourage you to use this evening as a date night!

Question

May I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

We invite you to be fully present with us during our Wedding Mass. As the Mass is a sacred service, we kindly ask that you keep all phones and cameras tucked away from the very start of the processional through the conclusion of the service. We have an incredible professional photography team who will capture every moment, and we look forward to sharing those beautiful images with you later.

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please kindly submit your RSVP through our website by April 1, 2026.

Question

Is there parking on site?

Answer

There will be a valet at Hotel Ella. Complimentary valet parking will be provided upon your arrival, courtesy of Catherine's parents. Just pull up to the front of the hotel. There is also parking available in the nearby neighborhoods. Everything in downtown Austin is relatively close, so Uber is a great option. You can even call a self-driving (Waymo) car on the Uber app.

Question

Will Austin be busy that weekend?

Answer

We know our wedding falls on UT Graduation weekend, but don't worry—our venue and planned events are fully prepared for the city's activity. We're focused on celebrating with you and are confident the weekend will be seamless. We do recommend you allow a little extra time for travel and check-in.

Absolutely.
