3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Please wear any modest clothing for church.
This time of prayer is optional, but we wanted to make sure that you have an opportunity for Eucharistic Adoration and to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
1:00 pm - 2:15 pm
Semi-Formal
Please be sure to arrive no later than 10 minutes prior to Mass. Reserved seating will be marked off, but otherwise choose any pew to sit in. While in the church building, please maintain respectful silence. If you need to talk or use your phone, go to the St. Mary's Commons through the side doors. We have two professional photographers taking photos during the Nuptial Mass, so please do not take out your phone or camera during this time. This Mass will be celebrated Ad Orientem. Please see our FAQ page to learn more about a Catholic Wedding Mass and some of the changes you might see. Since it's only a 15-minute drive to the reception venue, there will be some downtime after the Mass. Downtown Sandusky is just a couple blocks down the road from the church. We highly encourage you to take a quick visit, go to the pier, and have a drink or two.
3:00 pm - 9:00 pm
You may change to any summer cocktail attire during the reception
NEW! We are now having a COCKTAIL HOUR at 3 PM with appetizers and drinks. A buffet dinner will be served, along with drinks and a cash bar. If you have any allergies, please let us know. Bathrooms can be found in the house directly across the barn. Guests are welcomed to stay and hangout there after dinner. The upstairs of the house is off limits to guests.
