Question
Is there parking near your venue?
Answer
There is ample parking around the building. For those who come early, FCC has a lot behind the church (enter from The Crescent.) When that is full there is street parking, a municipal lot and a multi-level parking deck up the street. There also is overflow parking at the corner of Plymouth and Trinity place in the Academy Square Parking lot.
Question
Are there are colors we shouldn't wear?
Answer
Needless to say, if you wear white, you're getting tossed out by a 6-foot member of the Powers clan. Additionally, please avoid darker shades of blue and emerald green as those are reserved for the bridal party. Anything else, have at it!

Due to the cap of 85 people in the church, we strongly advise against bringing a plus one. Exceptions can be made but please contact either Kylie or D'Vonte.

Question
Could you suggest places to eat, drink and see while I am in town for your wedding?

Montclair is very close to New York City, approximately a 30-minute train ride. Our town is also full of amazing restaurants if you want to stay local.
