FAQs
Question
What time should I arrive to the ceremony?
Answer
The ceremony will begin at 3:00 PM. We kindly ask guests to arrive by 2:30 PM to allow sufficient time for parking and seating. Thank you for helping us ensure a smooth and timely start to the ceremony.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Out of respect for the sacred nature of the wedding, we kindly ask guests to dress modestly and respectfully (semi-formal attire is a perfect choice). For women: Dresses should be below the knee or longer. Please choose attire with modest necklines and coverage. There will be seating available, but it is traditional to stand for the wedding ceremony (if you are able). Please wear shoes that are comfortable and appropriate for the occasion. For men: Long pants such as khakis or chinos are requested (no jeans, please). Polos or dress shirts are an excellent choice. Please avoid wearing open-toe shoes. Thank you for helping us maintain a reverent and joyful atmosphere for our celebration.
Question
Where will the ceremony/cocktail hour/reception take place?
Answer
Our ceremony will take place at St. George Serbian Orthodox Church. The cocktail hour and reception will follow at The Barn in Mariemont. Cocktail hour will be held on the first floor of the venue, where guests are welcome to explore the on-site art gallery and enjoy the courtyard (weather permitting). The reception will take place on the second floor; an elevator is available for guests who require accessibility accommodations. Please note that the drive from the church to the reception venue is approximately 30 minutes, so we kindly ask guests to be mindful of timing following the ceremony. We look forward to celebrating with you.
Question
Is there parking available at the wedding ceremony/venue?
Answer
Yes, parking will be available at both locations. Ceremony: There is a limited number of parking spaces at the church. Additional parking is available at a neighboring church with a larger lot, where guests are welcome to park. We recommend arriving early to allow time for parking. Reception: The venue offers on-site parking, including a gravel lot and courtyard parking, each accommodating approximately 15–25 vehicles depending on size. If these areas reach capacity, street parking is available nearby. Please note that street parking may require a short walk to the venue through a safe neighborhood. Thank you for planning accordingly, and we look forward to celebrating with you!
Question
I have dietary restrictions/allergies. What's the best way to let you know?
Answer
We will be serving a Mediterranean-style menu, which is generally accommodating to a variety of dietary needs. Guests are welcome to include any allergy or dietary information when submitting their RSVP.
