Question
Are children invited to the wedding?
Answer
We love your children, but we would prefer to have an adult wedding celebration so children are not invited. Please see the actual invitation and the online RSVP to see exactly whom is invited. If you have questions, let us know!
Question
Why is there a Catholic Wedding Mass and a Blessing?
Answer
The blessing will be very short and sweet! The bride and groom have requested this special event between the Mass and the reception (cocktail hour). It is their wish to have a small blessing and unity candle lighting there since Catholic Masses can not be celebrated outside of the Catholic Church...and she just LOVES The Chapel at the Morris Estate! ...You will too! Please go from the Wedding Mass at St. Mary's to The Chapel at the Morris Estate and be seated. The Blessing will begin as soon as the wedding party arrives. Cocktail hour will begin next door after the Blessing. Thank you in advance for joining us for both the Wedding Mass and the Blessing!
Question
What is the parking situation at The Chapel at The Morris Estate?
Answer
There will be a parking attendant and a shuttle from the parking area (just down the road) to The Chapel at The Morris Estate. You can also walk from the parking lot to the venue as it is a short distance. The shuttle will run all night long from the parking lot to the venue. It is best to go directly from the Wedding Mass to The Chapel so you have time to park and take the shuttle to the Blessing on time.
