FAQs
Question
Which airport should I fly into?
Answer
You can either fly into Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) or Flint Bishop International Airport (FNT). Both airports are a 45-60 minute drive to the suggested hotels. We highly recommend renting a car while visiting. See the Travel page for a Budget discount code.
Question
What is the best way to get from the airport to my hotel?
Answer
The major airports are about a 45-60 minute drive from the primary locations. Uber or Lyft can be expensive, so we highly recommend renting a car while visiting. This will also allow you to get around the area easier instead of relying on Uber/Lyft. See the Travel page for a Budget discount code.
Question
Is there transportation between the hotels, ceremony, and reception?
Answer
No, a shuttle service will not be available. If you plan on drinking at the reception, we ask that you Uber or Lyft to get back to the hotel at the end of the night or carpool with a designated driver. If you will not be drinking, we recommend renting a car while visiting. See the Travel page for a Budget discount code.
Question

Question
I've never been to a Catholic Mass before. What should I expect?
Answer
All are welcome to attend our ceremony, no matter your religious background! We understand that many people who want to celebrate with us are not Catholic and may feel intimidated or unsure what to do during the Mass. There will be a guide provided highlighting all important prayers and gestures. If you want to be prepared, here is a breakdown of a Catholic wedding Mass: https://www.catholicweddinghelp.com/topics/order-wedding-with-mass.htm A Catholic wedding Mass lasts approximately 1 hour. The Mass consists of readings from the bible, a homily (sermon), the nuptial rites (Matrimony), and the celebration of the Holy Eucharist through communion. Only practicing Catholics may consume the Eucharist, but all are welcome to receive a blessing.

Yes! You do not need to attend another Mass this weekend if you attend the ceremony.
Question
