CeremonyCeremony
11:30 am - 1:00 pm
767 Ridge Rd, Buffalo, NY 14218
Our wedding ceremony will take place at Our Lady of Victory Basilica. This Basilica is very meaningful to us because it was here that we attended our first Mass together as a couple the first time we met each other in person! We are deeply honored to have our wedding celebrated by Kenneth’s close friend, Father Carlos Jacinto. Father Carlos will be traveling all the way from Moncton, New Brunswick to celebrate our wedding! The ceremony will begin promptly at 11:30 AM. We kindly ask guests to arrive 30 minutes early (by 11:00 AM) to ensure everyone has time to find parking and find their seats in the large Basilica. Please take your seats toward the front of the Basilica so the front rows may be filled first. Parking is available behind the Shrine. Visitor information (as well as a map of the parking lot) can be found on the Basilica’s website: https://www.olvbasilica.org/visitor-information

Following the ceremony, the newlyweds, bridesmaids, and groomsmen will be away taking photos at the Buffalo Botanical Gardens. During this time, Hannah’s parents will be hosting a casual cocktail hour at their home for all guests who would like stop by. Guests are warmly invited to come and enjoy light refreshments, drinks, and a time to relax and visit with family and friends before the evening festivities begin! For those who would prefer not to attend the cocktail hour, no worries! You are equally welcome to take this opportunity to explore Buffalo on your own or simply relax before the big party. Whether you’d like to grab a coffee, stroll through Canalside, visit the Polish American Arts Festival right down the street from Hannah's parent's house, or check out local shops and breweries, Buffalo has plenty to enjoy. (We've included a few of our favorite spots in the "Things to Do" section of our website in case you're looking for ideas:)
