FAQs
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
Our ceremony will begin promptly at 1:00 PM, so please arrive by 12:30 PM. This will allow time for parking, entering the venue, and finding your seat. To ensure the ceremony flows smoothly, we kindly ask that all guests be seated before the start of the Mass, as late arrivals will not be permitted entry once it begins. Please remember that this is not just a wedding ceremony, but a sacred Catholic Mass. We appreciate your respectful participation and presence.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
Ceremony: Yes! There’s street parking available near the Basilica, as well as a side parking lot you’re welcome to use. Reception: Definitely! There will be signs and directions at the house to help guide you to the right spot. We’ll make sure it’s easy to find. If you have any trouble or questions on the day, don’t hesitate to reach out! We’re happy to help!

Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
We love kids and are happy to include them in our celebration, if space allows! Due to venue and planning limitations, children are welcome only if noted on your invitation. If your little ones are invited, their names will be listed on the invitation, or it will be addressed to "The [Last Name] Family." If you're unsure or have any questions, feel free to reach out! We’re happy to clarify!
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
Please RSVP by May 15, 2026. We’d really appreciate hearing from you by then so we can finalize all the fun details like seating, food, and everything in between! Your early response helps us more than you know. If you have any questions or need more time, feel free to reach out!
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
We’re so excited to celebrate with you! Our day starts with a Catholic wedding Mass, followed by a vintage English garden party-inspired reception, so we’re asking guests to dress in Garden Party Formal attire. Think light, elegant, and festive: – Soft colors, florals, and timeless styles – Midi or tea-length dresses, dressy jumpsuits, or suits (ties optional!) – Feel free to have fun with hats, headpieces, or vintage-inspired accessories! Since the ceremony is in a church, we kindly ask for modest, respectful attire. And since we'll be outside for part of the day, we suggest choosing shoes that are comfortable on grass, like wedges, block heels, or dressy flats are all great choices. Can’t wait to see how lovely you all look!
