FAQs
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
The dress code is cocktail/summer semi-formal. Ladies, a sundress or cocktail dress would be appropriate. Gentlemen, a suit without a tie or slacks with a tie, sans jacket, would be appropriate. Please no denim/jeans. The wedding colors are shades of blue and we would invite our guests to partake in wearing blue.
Question
For our non-Catholic guests: What should I expect from the ceremony?
Answer
This will be a traditional Catholic wedding mass, with a 60-70 minute run time. The priest will explain most portions as we go. For those who are not Catholic, please feel free to skip communion or participate for a blessing. There will be three readings, multiple songs, a brief speech from the priest, communion, and the vows.
Question
When should I arrive?
Answer
We recommend guests arrive 10-15 minutes prior to 2:00 PM. The ceremony will begin promptly at 2:00 PM and late arrivals will be asked to wait until after the bridal processional to take their seats.
Question
Where should we park for the reception?
Answer
While we recommend our guests who may partake in libations utilize Uber, Lyft or another ride-share/taxi company, for guests who chose to drive to the reception, there are approximately 20 parking spots in the lot directly adjacent to the venue. There is also a great amount of parking in the Downtown Overland Park area.
