FAQs

Question

What's the dress code for the Welcome Drinks?

Answer

For our welcome drinks, the dress code is 'Summer Casual.' A dress shirt and pants (untucked is totally fine) for the gentlemen, and a summer dress or a nice top and bottoms for the ladies!

Question

What is the dress code for the Ceremony and Reception?

Answer

We're excited for a day of elegance and celebration! Our wedding will observe a black-tie dress code. For ladies, this means full-length dresses, and for men, tuxedos or a dark suit are the standard. While our ceremony and reception will be indoors, we're planning to enjoy a cocktail hour outdoors (on grass), weather permitting. We look forward to seeing everyone dressed up for this special occasion!

Question

Is there a hotel block reserved for guests?

Answer

Yes! We’ve secured room blocks at three hotels across different price points. Check out the “Travel” tab on our website for more details.

Question

What can I do during the break between the ceremony and cocktail hour?

Answer

Great question! There’s a bit of a gap between the ceremony and reception, but plenty to do nearby. If you're up for it, there are some cool spots within walking distance of the church where you can grab a drink or a quick bite. We recommend The Fastnet Pub (1 Broadway), Bar 12 (12 Broadway), or White Horse Tavern (26 Marlborough Street).

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

While we absolutely adore your children, we have chosen to make our wedding an adults-only event. This decision is primarily due to limited space at our venue. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and look forward to sharing our day with you in an atmosphere tailored for adults.

Question

Do I get a plus one?

Answer

We are thrilled to share our special day with you! We wish we could accommodate more, but due to the size of our venue, we can only invite those listed on your invitation. This helps us ensure everyone has a great time without it feeling too crowded.

Question

What happens if my plus one cannot make it?

Answer

We understand that not everyone will be able to attend our wedding. If your designated plus one is unable to attend, we kindly ask that their invitation not be transferred to another guest. This helps us manage our guest list and ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all attendees.

Question

What will parking be like at the ceremony and reception?

Answer

For those of you driving to our wedding, we have parking available but it's a bit limited. You'll find parking spaces in lots attached to St. Joseph’s Church for the ceremony, and also at Glen Manor for the reception. We recommend arriving a bit early to secure a spot.
