FAQs

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Anyone is welcome to the Ceremony/Mass at St Monica St George. We ask that only those who are included on the RSVP attend the Reception.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

On the RSVP form, there is an option to list food allergies. Dinner will be buffet style with options to accommodate different taste preferences. If you are vegan, vegetarian, or gluten free, please make note on the RSVP page and a separate plated meal can be provided. In addition, if you have children, please specify how many kids meals you would like. Kids meals will be plated chicken tenders and french fries.

Question

When should I RSVP?

Answer

RSVP ended on May 10, please reach out to the bride or groom to edit your RSVP. Requests may not be able to be accommodated depending on numbers and seating.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

There is free parking available at St Monica St George in their lot behind the church and behind the Catholic Center building. In addition, there is free street parking on the surrounding streets. Please allow for ample time for parking and finding a seat in the church. There is a pay per hour uncovered lot behind the Madison Event Center. In addition, there is a paid covered parking garage next to the event center at Hotel Covington. Valet at the hotel is also available.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive no later than 1:15pm and be seated by 1:25pm.

Question

Why is there a gap between the ceremony and the reception?

Answer

This is commonly known as "the catholic gap." This gap is because the church needs to be free for the Saturday vigil mass at 4:30pm. We encourage you to utilize the time in between to explore the Queen City. There are many parks in the area, such as Devou Park in KY and Eden Park and Smale Riverfront Park in Cincinnati. There are also bars and restaurants within walking distance from both the ceremony and reception locations. UC campus is also within walking distance from the ceremony.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Please dress formal/semiformal. Please refrain from jeans and shorts.
