FAQs

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Guests should arrive at the ceremony at least 30 minutes before the start of the ceremony to ensure they have ample time to walk from the parking lot to the basilica and be seated. Guests will not be permitted to enter the basilica once the ceremony has begun as the mission becomes closed to the public for the time of the ceremony.

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Guests need to RSVP by May 23rd, 2025. If RSVP is not sent, we will assume that the guest will not be attending and will not be included in the seating chart. Please let us know if things change and you are no longer able to make it even if you have RSVPed “Yes”. Our planner will be working on our seating chart until the night before and would like to adjust if needed. We completely understand that plans change and life happens.
