FAQs

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

The ceremony will begin promptly at 3:30 pm. We kindly ask that all guests are seated prior to this time. Once the ceremony has begun, we ask that you wait until it concludes before entering to avoid any disruptions.

Question

Can I bring an additional guest?

Answer

Unfortunately, our capacity is very limited, and we’re unable to accommodate additional guests. We’re so grateful for everyone who is able to join us and celebrate this special day.

Question

Where should I park?

Answer

Ceremony: Street parking is available near the church, but may be limited. We recommend arriving a little early to allow time to find a spot. Reception: Complimentary parking is available at the open lot at 819 Beacon St, Boston, MA 02215 (entrance on Maitland Street), directly across from Equal Measure. Guests driving to the reception will receive a parking pass at the ceremony. Please display it on your rearview mirror and let the attendant know you are attending the Desroches Wedding to avoid being charged.

Question

Do you have a registry?

Answer

Instead of a traditional registry, we’ve created a "Happily Ever After Fund" to support our future together. Your presence is the greatest gift, and while gifts are never expected, we are deeply grateful for your love, support, and generosity as we begin this next chapter.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

We kindly ask guests to dress in semi-formal attire for our church ceremony. Think polished and elegant—cocktail dresses, midi or floor-length gowns, or tailored suits. Aim for a chic, refined look as you celebrate with us. ** We kindly ask that guests refrain from wearing white. **

Question

Where do I enter the dinner venue?

Answer

The dinner venue is called Equal Measure, a private event space connected to a restaurant. Please enter the venue at 775 Beacon St, Boston, MA. The entrance will be marked with “Equal Measure” on the doors.

Question

What will be served for food?

Answer

Dinner will be a seated three-course meal with entrée options of salmon, steak, chicken, or a vegetarian option.

Question

Will there be a larger wedding or reception in the future?

Answer

Yes. We are choosing to celebrate our wedding day with an intimate ceremony and seated dinner surrounded by a small group of loved ones. This allows us to focus on being fully present and intentional during this special season of our lives. We look forward to celebrating again in the future with a larger gathering of our family and friends.
