Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP before July 15, 2025.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

We can’t wait to celebrate with all of our favorite people, beautifully dressed for our special day! Please join us in formal attire—floor-length dresses are encouraged for the ladies, and suits for the gentlemen. As the reception will take place outdoors on grass, we kindly recommend that ladies bring appropriate footwear (rethink stiletto heels!).

Question

Are the ceremony and reception held in different locations?

Answer

Yes. The ceremony will be held at Santa Maria Goretti, located beside Commonwealth Arena. Following the ceremony, we’ll gather for cocktails and the reception at the Marrazzo's property - just 10 kilometres East of Beaumont, and 2 kilometres East of Eagle Rock Golf Course. There will be a few hours of down time between the ceremony and reception. Please feel free to rest, refresh, or refuel in whatever way makes the day most comfortable and enjoyable for you!

Question

What time should I arrive to the ceremony?

Answer

Arriving 10-15 minutes early is a great idea to ensure you have plenty of time to find the venue, park, and get settled before the ceremony begins.

Question

Where should we park for the ceremony?

Answer

For the ceremony at Santa Maria Goretti Parish, free parking is available in front of the church, on the west side of Commonwealth Arena.

Question

Is the venue indoor or outdoor?

Answer

The ceremony will take place indoors at Santa Maria Goretti Parish, in a comfortably air-conditioned setting. Cocktail hour and the reception will follow outdoors on grass, with dinner and dancing held beneath a shaded tented structure. There will be a generous break between the ceremony and cocktail hour, so please feel free to return home if you’d like to change into more comfortable attire or footwear for the evening celebration.

Question

What time should I arrive for the reception?

Answer

Cocktail hour kicks off at 5:00 PM and the reception will begin promptly at 6:00 PM. We recommend arriving on the earlier side do you can enjoy a drink, mingle, and settle in before the festivities officially start. Please also keep in mind that it's a Friday afternoon, so give yourself an extra 15-20 minutes for traffic as you make your way to the venue.

Question

Who do I contact if I need assistance navigating to the Marrazzo's property?

Answer

We hope the directions provided on the invitation will help you navigate to the reception. If you have any questions prior to the wedding, please contact the bride or groom. On the day of the wedding, please contact Francesco's brother-in-law, Denis, at (780)-901-9973.

Question

Where should we park for the cocktail hour and reception?

Answer

As parking at the Marrazzo family property is limited, we kindly encourage carpooling with friends and family where possible. Upon arrival, signage will be posted to help guide guests to designated parking areas. Please also be mindful that cocktail hour begins at 5:00 PM, and you may experience some rush hour traffic en route. We recommend allowing an extra 15 minutes to ensure a smooth and timely arrival.

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Yes! A full open bar will be available during cocktail hour and dinner, offering both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Non-alcoholic drinks will remain complimentary throughout the evening. After dinner service, alcoholic beverages will be available for $3 to $5.

Question

What time will the party wrap up?

Answer

The party will wrap up at 1:00 AM.

Question

How can we plan to leave the property at the end of the night?

Answer

We want all of our guests to celebrate, and enjoy the night to the fullest. As rideshares and taxis may be limited in the area, we highly recommend pre-booking an Uber or arranging a ride home in advance. Transportation can be scheduled at your own discretion, but please plan ahead to ensure a smooth and safe end to a wonderful evening.

Question

Can I bring a guest/date?

Answer

We are so excited to celebrate this special day with our family and friends. Due to limited capacity, only those formally invited on your wedding invitation can be accommodated.

Question

If I'm coming from out of town, where should I stay?

Answer

Our city offers a wide variety of hotel options! Please visit the “Travel” tab to find a hotel with a preferred rate that is just 15-20 minutes from the Marrazzo family property, where the reception will be held. If you’d prefer to stay downtown, we recommend the JW Marriott or the Fairmont MacDonald for a luxurious experience.

Question

Do you have a gift registry?

Answer

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for. However, for those who wish to offer something extra, we would be deeply grateful for any contributions toward a honeymoon in Italy. Your generous support will help us plan an unforgettable experience as we start our lives together!
