The attire for our wedding is semi-formal. For men, a nice matching suit jacket or a blazer with dress pants is ideal. Please stay clear of jeans or khakis. For the ladies, a knee to midi-length dress is perfect, keeping in mind this is a step above cocktail wear. Who doesn't love an excuse to dress up! With that in mind, please wear whatever makes you comfortable and perform your stretches beforehand as dancing is expected at the reception!
We would love to have your kids attend our wedding ceremony. However, please join us for an adults-only reception to follow to get the party started! Invitations will be specific and will include the names of those who are invited. Parents, we hope you understand and enjoy a night off!
Please refer to your individual wedding invite as all people who are invited to attend are specifically listed on the invitations.
The wedding ceremony will take place at St Bartholomew Church which is about 10 minutes from the Commons and Hotel Indigo. We are encouraging guests to drive to the church for the ceremony and then return to Hotel Indigo before heading to the Commons for the reception. The Commons is located minutes away from our hotel block at Hotel Indigo (5 minute walk), as a result, there will not be transportation provided for the reception.
We are encouraging people who are flying to fly in on Friday, September 5th, and fly out on Sunday, September 7th. If coming a different way, please make your plans accordingly. Please see the travel section for more information on Airports and Hotels. If wanting to come earlier or stay later Columbus is very beautiful in the Fall and is surrounded by close-by scenic cities. Please refer to the 'Things to Do' page for more information.
Yes, our wedding ceremony is at St. Bartholomew Catholic Church, and we are having a traditional Catholic wedding. The wedding ceremony should take around 1 hour. Everyone is welcome as the ceremony will be focused on our love and we cannot wait to have all of closest family and friends there to celebrate. The service is modified for the wedding and will have some aspects of Catholic Church, however, there is no expectation for you to participate. If you are not comfortable with coming to the church ceremony, please feel free to reach out as we would like everyone to be there on our special day, however, we understand if you would like to attend the reception only.
Out of respect for the Church, photos during the ceremony will not be allowed. However, feel free to snap as many pics as you like following the ceremony at our reception!
We have a registry here on Zola that combines our registries that are on Crate and Barrel, Target, and Amazon.
We are still finalizing the timing of things but currently, the wedding ceremony will start around 2:00-3:00 pm with the reception starting at around 4:30-5:00 pm.
There is plenty of parking at both St. Bartholomew Church and around the Commons/Downtown Columbus Area. There is street parking available along with nearby parking garages that you may use.
Per tradition, we are reserving white/cream/ivory-toned colors for the bride. For those curious, the bridal party will be wearing light blue.
The dinner menu is still being discussed and will be updated accordingly. If you have dietary restrictions, we will accommodate during the RSVP process.
Let's have a party! There will be an open bar provided during the evening. For cocktail hour, specialty drinks will be provided for quick service, and beer and wine will be available throughout dinner.
