FAQs

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We kindly ask ALL guests to adhere to a strict black-only dress code. Please wear formal, semi-formal, or cocktail clothing in all black — this includes suits, dresses, or coordinated separates. Think elegant, timeless, and appropriate for a church ceremony and evening celebration. Both long and short dresses are acceptable. We are NOT requesting formal black tie but are asking guests to wear the color black only. Note: This is not a suggestion — we are requesting black-only attire for all guests.

Question

Where is the ceremony taking place?

Answer

Our wedding ceremony will be held at Church of St. Peter in North St. Paul. Please arrive by 12:30 p.m. at the latest to be seated before the processional begins.

Question

Is there anything special we should know about the Catholic ceremony?

Answer

Yes! This will be a full Catholic Mass, lasting approximately 60 minutes. While participation in the Mass is optional, we kindly ask all guests to respect the sacred nature of the ceremony.

Question

Can I receive Holy Communion during the ceremony?

Answer

In accordance with Catholic teaching, Holy Communion is reserved for practicing Catholics who have received the Sacrament of Confirmation and are in a state of grace. If you are not Catholic or not receiving Communion, you are still welcome to come forward with arms crossed over your chest to receive a blessing, or you may remain seated and join us in prayer and reflection.

Question

Where is the reception?

Answer

Our reception will follow at Oak Glen Golf Course in Stillwater, MN, about 15 minutes from the church. There is ample parking at both locations.

Question

Will there be a coat check?

Answer

Yes! A complimentary coat check will be available at the reception venue for coats, jackets, or bags you don’t want to carry during the evening.

Question

Can I bring a guest or my children?

Answer

We love your friends and little ones but due to space limitations, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally listed on the invitation. If you have questions about this, please feel free to reach out to us. We appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

We kindly ask that all guests refrain from taking photos or videos during the ceremony. This is a sacred and holy event, and we want everyone to be fully present with us in the moment. Phones and cameras must be silenced and put away. Thank you! Please silence and put away all phones and cameras upon entering the church. Our professional photographers will be capturing everything — and we promise to share those special moments with you afterward.
