Doors will be open following the 9am daily mass (around 9:30am), and Groomsmen will be arriving at that time. The ceremony is expected to start at 10am, so please allow yourself time to park, get inside, and find a seat before the ceremony begins.

Question

Can I bring a date?

All invited guests will be listed on your wedding invitation. If you have a significant other not listed on your invitation, please let us know immediately and we will do our best to accommodate.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We love children and they are welcome to join us at the church. However, due to several factors, we have decided to keep our wedding reception as an adult-only event.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes. St. Aedan's Church (ceremony) and Rockland GAA (after-party) have free self-parking in their parking lots. Old Tappan Manor (reception) offers complimentary valet service. We have also chartered a school bus to transport guests from Rockland GAA to Old Tappan Manor (between 11:15am and 11:45am) and back to Rockland GAA from Old Tappan Manor (between 5pm and 5:30pm).

Question

Is there transportation to and from the reception?

Answer

For anyone who'd prefer not to drive themselves, we've chartered a bus to transport you to and from our reception. The bus will depart from Rockland GAA parking lot starting at 11:15am and will take multiple trips to transport everyone to Old Tappan Manor by noon. For the return, buses will depart from the street in front of Old Tappan Manor starting at 5:05pm. Please make your way to the buses promptly following the conclusion of the reception.
