FAQs

Question

What should I know about the Catholic Mass?

Answer

Our wedding will take place during a full Catholic Mass. We ask all guests to join us in showing reverence and respect during the liturgy. For those who are Catholic, we would love for you to prepare for this sacrament by going to confession beforehand, so you may fully join us in receiving Holy Communion on this special day. For those who are not Catholic, you are warmly welcome to attend and participate in the prayers. During Communion, you may either remain seated or come forward with your arms crossed for a blessing.

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

We kindly ask that the Mass be a phone-free celebration. Please put away phones and cameras so you can be fully present with us. Our photographer will capture every moment, and we’ll share the images as soon as possible. This way, no one has to worry about taking the perfect shot — just enjoy the day with us.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Our wedding day will include both the Catholic Mass and our reception at The White Orchid. Black-tie attire is requested. Gentlemen, please wear tuxedo or dark suit. Ladies, please wear gowns or formal floor-length dresses.

Question

Are children invited?

Answer

Attendance is limited to those specifically named on your invitation, as we have limited space. While we love your little ones, children are invited only if included on the invitation. We kindly ask that no additional children be brought.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

As much as we would love to celebrate with everyone, our guest list is limited. Attendance is reserved for those listed on your invitation. We kindly ask that no additional guests be brought.
