We are so excited to celebrate our love with you in a traditional Catholic wedding Mass. Our ceremony will take place in a beautiful church and will include sacred readings, prayers, and the exchange of our vows before God. Here are a few things to keep in mind: The Ceremony Length: A full Catholic wedding Mass typically lasts about an hour and includes Holy Communion. Participation: You may notice moments of standing, sitting, and kneeling throughout the Mass. If you’re not familiar with Catholic traditions, feel free to follow along or remain seated as you feel comfortable. Communion: If you are Catholic and prepared to receive the Eucharist, you are welcome to partake in Communion. If not, you are still invited to come forward for a blessing—simply cross your arms over your chest as a sign. Above all, we hope you enjoy this beautiful and sacred part of our wedding day. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask—we’re just so grateful to have you there to celebrate with us!
While we appreciate our loved ones wanting to capture the day, please note that per our church's instructions no additional photography other than our professional photographer is permitted during the ceremony, which will be a Catholic Mass. However, at the reception, please take as many pictures as you'd like!!
Please let us know! There will be vegetarian and vegan options available for selection when you RSVP. If you have other restrictions that we should be aware of, reach out to the bride or groom and we will do our best to accommodate them.
