FAQs

Question

Why San Antonio?

Answer

We have chosen to get married in San Antonio because Emily's uncle, Jason, is the Rector at the Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit in San Antonio. This church has been a big part of our lives, and our family's lives and we wouldn't want to be married anywhere else. Additionally, the town of Helotes is a quaint town full of very special people, local business and fond memories for us both.

Can I bring my children?
