FAQs

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Yes, absolutely! Please let us know in advance about your specific allergy, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

Question

What is the parking like for the ceremony and reception?

Answer

Parking for the ceremony is available along the street. Please reserve a spot in front of the church for the bride and groom's arrival. Ample parking is available at the reception site.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Wear whatever you feel most comfortable in! Fresno weather can be warm, so light and breathable clothing is a great choice. The reception will have both grass seating and a cement dance floor, so plan footwear accordingly. The ceremony will take place in a Catholic church, and we kindly ask that guests dress respectfully in honor of the sacred setting. Out of respect, please refrain from wearing hats or sunglasses inside the church and avoid making loud noises at the conclusion of the ceremony.

Question

Ceremony Details

Answer

We invite you to follow along with a printed program that will be available when you arrive. The ceremony will be bilingual. During Communion, you are welcome to remain seated or, if you’d like to receive a blessing, you may come forward with your arms crossed over your chest (like an “X”). This is a common and respectful option for those who are not Catholic or who prefer not to receive the Eucharist. The front row will be reserved for the wedding party, but all other seating in the center of the church is open. There is no “bride” or “groom” side—please sit wherever you feel most comfortable! At the conclusion of the ceremony, we invite guests to line up outside the church, forming two lines to greet the newlyweds as they exit on their way to their car and the reception. We can’t wait to celebrate this special day with you!
