2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Our wedding will be a traditional Catholic Nuptial Mass, which is a full service lasting approximately an hour. While we would be honored to have you there, we recognize that a long, religious ceremony isn't for everyone. Please feel no obligation to attend the Mass if you are not Catholic or if you’d simply prefer to skip the formal service. We look forward to seeing everyone at the reception!
4:30 pm - 6:00 pm
Doors will open promptly at 4:15 PM for you to enjoy cocktails, canapés, and passed hors d'oeuvres as you await the evening ahead. Take advantage of our "bet on love" station in the garden, and be sure to find your escort card for your dinning arrangements.
6:00 pm - 11:30 pm
We invite you to join us in your finest formal attire. We are leaning into a maximalist aesthetic for the evening, so please feel encouraged to go "over the top"! Whether it’s a floor-length gown, a sharp tuxedo, bold colors, or statement accessories—don’t hold back. We can’t wait to see you dressed to the nines.
The reception festivities will be held in the grand ballroom following our cocktail hour. We ask that you begin taking your seats when doors open at 6:00 PM for dinner service to begin promptly at 6:30 PM. Following dinner, we will celebrate one of our favorite traditions: The Youngstown Cookie Table. An abundant spread of homemade cookies will be available for your enjoyment (and to take home!), alongside coffee and dessert. Once the cookies are served, the floor is yours! We look forward to a night of celebration and dancing until the party concludes at 11:30 PM.

Yes, the dress code for our wedding is formal. Gentlemen: suits preferred, shirt and tie required. Ladies: cocktail attire required, dress to impress encouraged (evening gown; glitz and glamour). Please refrain from wearing any shade of white/cream/ivory, as this is reserved for the bride. Our ceremony is a traditional Catholic Mass--we ask that you dress conservatively if you are planning to attend the service.
Your presence is the best gift we could ask for, however in case you would like to shop for us we have curated a registry to peruse. Our registry is linked here on our website; everything can be purchased right on the "Registry" page. If you wish to purchase an item outside of the website, you are able to mark the gift as "purchased elsewhere" to avoid duplicate gifts.
We understand the gap of time between the ceremony and reception may be inconvenient to some of our guests. Please know that it is not required that you attend our ceremony, though we would love to have you there! The ceremony will take approximately 1 hour--if you are wondering how to fill your time after the ceremony, you are welcome to check out the "Things to Do" page on our website. The reception venue will open promptly at 4:15 PM for Cocktail Hour.
Due to limited space, only invited guests will be permitted entrance. If you receive a Plus One, it will be indicated on your formal invitation as well as the "RSVP" page on our website.

If your child is invited, their name(s) will be indicated on your formal invitation and on the "RSVP" page of our website. Space is limited, so we understand this may be an inconvenience to you and your family--we apologize for this and understand if this impacts your ability to attend!
While we are keeping the specific menu a surprise, we are thrilled to announce that dinner will be a grand buffet catered by Station Square. The evening will feature a curated selection of dishes, including a signature carving station and an array of hors d'oeuvres during the cocktail hour. For our younger guests, a designated children's meal will be served directly to the table. When RSVPing, please select the 'Children’s Plate' only for those who prefer it; we recognize that older children or those with larger appetites may prefer to enjoy the full buffet service with the adults. Please ensure your selection reflects your guest's preference so we can provide an accurate count to our caterers. If your child will not require a plated meal simply select "no meal needed".
Drinks are on us! A full bar with wine, beer, seltzers, and spirits will be provided.
