FAQs

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Join us in celebrating with a touch of elegance! Our dress code is formal/black tie optional. The bridal party will be dressed in black tie, so whether you opt for a tuxedo, a floor length gown, or a stylish formal dress or suit, you’ll fit right in. We can’t wait to see you looking your best!

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony starts at 1:00pm EST at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart on Notre Dame’s campus. We recommend arriving at least 45 minutes early to ensure you get to your seats on time!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

While we wish everyone could come celebrate our special day with us, our venue only allows for a certain number of guests. Your invitation will let you know whether or not we are able to accommodate you bringing along a date!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we love your kids and would love to see them, we will be having a child-free wedding, aside from the ring bearers/flower girls and a few immediate family members. If you are not able to make babysitting arrangements, we completely understand and look forward to seeing you sometime in the near future!

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

Yes! If you are staying at a hotel in one of our room blocks, a shuttle will be picking you up 45 minutes before the start of the ceremony and there will be two drop off times throughout the evening to get you back to your hotel. If you are staying at the Morris Inn, there will be no need for a shuttle, as the Basilica is within walking distance and the reception will be held inside the hotel. Please see the travel section of our website for further details.

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

We would love to know whether or not you can make it as soon as possible, but we know that sometimes it can be hard to give a definitive answer so far in advance. Please kindly RSVP by February 27, 2025! If we do not receive an RSVP from you by then, we will assume you are not able to make it and will not be able to save a seat for you during the reception.

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

Answer

We will be having a screen free ceremony. Our wonderful photographer & videographer will be able to capture the most beautiful moments from inside the Basilica, but please take all the photos and videos your heart desires throughout the rest of the events - we can’t wait to see the day from your point of view!

Question

Where is the nearest airport?

Answer

South Bend International Airport is a small airport located not far from Notre Dame and the events of the weekend. If you are not able to get a flight directly into South Bend, we recommend flying into Chicago and driving 1.5 hours to Notre Dame. If you choose to fly into Chicago, please take into account the traffic that you may encounter on the drive to South Bend on a Friday or Saturday.
