Question
I'm arriving Friday, but Check-In isn't until 4:00, which is when the ceremony starts, what should I do?
Answer
PLEASE ensure you request early check-in! Our hotels are aware of this, and are doing everything to make sure the rooms are available prior to 4. While this is not guaranteed, please ensure you are properly dressed prepared for the wedding Mass, just in case. The ceremony will start promptly at 4:00.
Question
What time should I arrive to the church?
Answer
We ask that you be in your seats 20 minutes prior to the 4:00 ceremony to enjoy the prelude music before the Wedding Mass.
Question
Will transportaion be provided on the wedding day?
Answer
We will have a shuttle running from the Hilton Downtown (Vine Street) to the Church for those who need assistance and are not driving. It will depart for the church at 3:30 Immediately after the Ceremony, the shuttle will take guests back to the Hilton Downtown. It will return to pick up guests to take to the reception, departing from the Hilton at 6:25p, if you do not walk or have your own transportation. Note: There will not be a shuttle back to the hotel after the conclusion of the reception.
Question
Am I allowed to bring my kids?
Answer
While we absolutely love and adore all of your little ones, we cannot accommodate guests under age 18 due to space limitations, outside of immediate family. We appreciate your understanding.
Question
Is there free parking at the Church?
Answer
Yes, parking is available at St. Paul. You enter the lot off of Saunier Street. Note that you will not be able to enter the parking lot until 3:20p, because the adjacent school uses the lot for carpool. There is also paid street parking around the church should you choose to arrive earlier.
Question
Is there parking at the Reception?
Answer
There is no free parking at the reception venue, however, both the Church and the Reception venues are walking distance from the Hilton Downtown. Should you choose to drive, there is street parking around the venue, as well as a paid parking lot across the street run by the city.
Question
What should I do between the ceremony and the reception?
Answer
There will be a brief pause between the ceremony and the cocktail hour beginning at 6:30. Lucky for you, there are plenty of bars in the short walk from the church to the reception venue should you be interested in a pre-cocktail hour cocktail. Mac and Clara recommend Harvey's Bar, The Thirsty Fox, and Horse and Jockey, but encourage you to explore everything downtown has to offer.
Question
Will I need a car in Lexington?
Answer
If you're staying downtown, in addition to the Church and venue, most necessities are within walking distance. Uber/Lyft is also readily available in Lexington.
