Question

What about RSVPs?

RSVP's are not required, but are encouraged to help us plan more accurately for our big day. Please find the RSVP tab on our website and RSVP by April 17th. If you have any issues with the RSVP function like being unable to locate your name, please reach out to the bride or groom.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before 2pm for a punctual start to our wedding mass.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code is Dress to Impress. Seriously, there is no strict dress code. If you really really want some guidance, think Maximalism. You know the bride & groom love fashion. Semi-formal to formal attire. All wedding festivities will be indoors with the exception of cocktail hour.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Absolutely! We just ask that you keep an eye on them, particularly in the garden of our reception venue.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Yes, check out the Travel tab of our website.

Question

Answer

There is no scheduled transportation to and from the ceremony and reception. Ample parking is available at both the ceremony and reception sites. Uber/Lyft and taxis are available in the area, but are limited. The Villa Tyler is about 12 minutes away from The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception.

Question

Can I still go to the ceremony if I'm not Catholic?

Answer

Of course! If you are not able to attend our ceremony, we'll see you at the reception!

Question

Can I bring my own alcohol?

Answer

Unfortunately, our wedding venue prohibits all outside alcohol. However, we will be providing a full, open bar from dinner on. Bottoms up!

Question

Early hotel check-in on Saturday isn't available, is there a break between the ceremony and reception?

Answer

The party will move from the ceremony to the reception site following mass. This transition will be the best time to check into hotels for those who are traveling on Saturday and are unable to check-in prior to the ceremony.

Answer

Notable sites are the Tyler Rose Garden and Caldwell Zoo. Some popular eats are The Grove Kitchen and Gardens, Takara Japanese Restaurant, Stanley's BBQ and Villa Montez. Nearby in Terrell, TX is the famous peach farm Ham Orchards.
