The deadline to reply is January 15th, 2025! Please RSVP on or before this date so we can properly prepare for our guests. After submitting your RSVP, you should receive a confirmation of your response. If you do not receive this confirmation, please inform us as soon as possible. Any invites not confirmed by January 15th will removed from the guest list.
We'd love to see our family and friends dress up with us. We are requesting your best all-black, semi-formal, or formal attire. No additional colors, just black! Here is a Pinterest board to use for inspiration: https://www.pinterest.com/thewardstwenty25/ceremony-ideas/
Doors will open at 5:00 pm for guests to be seated. We will begin the ceremony promptly at 6:00 pm. We recommend that you arrive at least 30 minutes before the start time. If you arrive after the stated time, you will be asked to wait until the ceremony is complete, and then you are welcome to join us at our seated dinner reception. Please note that we live in Atlanta, and traffic is woven into the fabric of our lives! With this information, please plan your route with traffic, parking/valet, and the very short (indoor!) walk to the venue in mind.
As much as we love the little ones, we kindly request a child-free wedding.
Due to limited space, we are only accommodating those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP. Thank you for understanding!
St. Cecilia offers valet parking for $5. The drop-off is in the turnaround in front of the restaurant. Self-parking is also available, and your ticket can be validated at the front of the restaurant.
We kindly ask that you put your phones and cameras away and silenced as we want you to be present in this holy ceremony. We have a professional photographer capturing the ceremony for us. Other than that, please feel free to take as many photos and videos as you like.
We will have wine and champagne with your name on it!
Please know that each of you holds a special place in our hearts, and we are most grateful for your presence and love in our lives. We are honored to know you all and to have you present to witness our union before our Lord Jesus Christ.
