The ceremony begins at 1 pm, but typically the procession begins 5-10 minutes before the ceremony start time! We ask that you arrive by 12:45 pm.
We ask that you do NOT take photos during the ceremony. We have hired wonderful photographers that are experts at capturing the mysterious beauty of the wedding mass (Laura and Matthew are AMAZING)! Out of respect for the Mass, please turn your phones off.
Semi-Formal: suits and cocktail dresses. Out of respect for the sacred nature of the wedding mass and church, please dress modestly. Thank you!
Please RSVP by March 23rd.
