– Parking at Sacred Heart Church – There is limited on-street parking for $3.00 per hour. Parking is also available in the Madison Building Garage (located next door to the church) for $20.00 per car. Additionally, parking is available at the 717 Parking Lot (located directly across the street from the church) for $30.00 per car. We encourage guests to consider staying at one of the hotels listed under the 'Travel' tab so they can enjoy a convenient walk between their hotel and the church. – Parking at Davis Islands Garden Club – There is a small parking lot in front of the venue and an overflow lot adjacent to the south.
The ceremony will begin at 2:00 pm. We ask that all guests be inside the church by 1:45 pm. In accordance with the church policy, the doors to the church will lock at the start of the ceremony. The doors will not be reopened until the end of the ceremony.
You will have approximately one hour between the end of the ceremony and the start of cocktail hour. During this time, we encourage you to explore the surrounding downtown area, stop by your hotel, or take in the beauty of the church's exterior grounds. If you're using a rideshare service, this is a great time to arrange your ride to the second venue. It takes approximately seven minutes to drive from Sacred Heart Catholic Church to Davis Islands Garden Club. Cocktail hour begins at 4:00 pm, and our vendors will be ready to welcome you at that time. Thank you for your cooperation.

Transportation will only be provided for the wedding party. We encourage guests to Uber/Lyft- rideshares are plentiful in Tampa.
We are having an unplugged ceremony. Please turn off all phones and cameras to fully enjoy the moment with us and to ensure that our photographer has unobstructed views to capture the event. Thank you in advance.
Due to limited capacity at our venue, we are unable to accommodate plus ones beyond those printed on the wedding invitation. We look forward to celebrating with our closest family and friends.
While we love your little ones, our wedding is adults-only, with the exception of children participating in the wedding party (flower girls and ring bearers). Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
We have reserved a block of rooms at one hotel: Le Méridien Tampa, The Courthouse. The hotel is adjacent to the church. Please see the 'Travel' tab for the booking link. Kindly note that the booking window for our hotel block closes on October 14, 2025.
