Question

Where is the wedding taking place?

Answer

Our ceremony will be held at Saint Patrick’s Catholic Church in Moreno Valley, where we will celebrate a traditional Catholic Mass. We ask all guests to join us indoors for this sacred part of the day. Following the ceremony, we’ll move to the reception at 8620 Pigeon Pass Rd, Moreno Valley, where we’ll enjoy the beautiful outdoors together.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

The ceremony begins at 2:00 PM, and we kindly ask that guests arrive 30 minutes early. This will allow everyone to be comfortably seated and ready to share in the start of our special day.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We are asking guests to dress in formal attire. Out of respect for the bride, we ask that guests avoid white or beige. For additional guidance, please see the attire section on our website.

Question

Are children welcome?

Answer

Children are welcome to attend the ceremony during the sacred Mass. While we adore your little ones, the reception will be an adults-only event. We hope you understand and plan accordingly, as we want everyone to fully enjoy the evening without worrying about little ones’ needs. If you choose to bring your child to the ceremony, we kindly ask that you arrange transportation or childcare for them following the Mass. Babysitters are welcome to attend the ceremony and take your child home afterward.

Question

How do I RSVP?

Answer

Formal invitations will be sent at the beginning of March. Each invitation will clearly state the guest names and whether a plus-one is included. An RSVP link will be included for your convenience, and we kindly ask that you RSVP by March 21. This ensures we have an accurate guest count and can make the day as smooth and special as possible.

Question

Is there a registry?

Answer

The greatest gift we could ask for is your presence on our wedding day. If you feel so inclined, we would gratefully accept contributions toward our honeymoon activities. We prefer not to receive physical gifts at the reception, as your love and support mean more to us than anything else.
