FAQs
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
The dress code for our wedding is formal! We want our friends and family to have an opportunity to dress up and celebrate with us. We suggest that men wear a suit and tie in any color and women wear an evening gown or midi or knee-length cocktail dress. Keep in mind the weather can be warmer so consider lighter fabrics or summer colors/patterns! Here is some inspiration: https://pin.it/1E8V2d43J
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
Ss. Peter and Paul Jesuit Church will be open for wedding guests starting at 2:30pm. Our traditional Catholic Mass and wedding ceremony will begin promptly at 4:00pm. Please arrive at least 30 minutes before the ceremony. We encourage aiming for an early arrival due to summer construction traffic, Friday afternoon rush hour, and to account for any events happening downtown.
Question
What will the weather be like this time of year?
Answer
Historically, late June in Detroit has a high of around 85 degrees and a low of 62 degrees. The cocktail hour will be under a covered veranda at the Detroit Yacht Club, overlooking the Detroit River. Dinner and dancing will follow inside the historic ballroom.
Question
Are you registered? Where?
Answer
We are so thankful you will be joining us on our special day. While gifts are not expected, they are much appreciated. We have registered for some items we will need for our newlywed home. Please view the registry tab at the top of the page, but you may also access our wishlist on Zola and Amazon.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
Parking for Ss. Peter and Paul Jesuit will be in the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law parking lot across the street, located on East Larned Street. There will be a security guard watching the lot. For the reception, each guest will be sent a park pass to enter onto Belle Isle since it is a regulated Michigan state park. The Detroit Yacht Club also has a large guarded parking lot.
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
Due to venue constrictions, we will only be able to accommodate the named guests on the invitations. Our celebration is strictly RSVP only.
Question
Will there be any vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free or special diet options?
Answer
We will do our best to work with the venue to make our guests comfortable. Please note any dietary restrictions when RSVP-ing or feel free to contact either the bride or groom.
Question
Can I take photos?
Answer
Due to the sanctity of the sacrament, please refrain from taking photos during the wedding ceremony and mass. However, guests are more than welcome to take photos during the reception. There will be links to a shared drive where guests may upload their photos for the bride and groom to keep. Photos taken by professional photographers will be posted and shared following the wedding.
