Our dress code is formal. Suits with ties or elevated separates. Long dresses or dressy midi dresses are great. Since part of the evening is in an outdoor courtyard, you may want to bring a wrap or sweater if the night gets chilly.
Both the Hart and Smith families are quite large, so we had to be thoughtful with our guest list. We kindly ask that only guests named on the invitation attend- thank you for understanding and celebrating with us!
Yes, there is a parking lot adjacent to the church.
Valet parking will be provided for your convenience. Due to limited availability, we recommend carpooling or utilizing rideshare services.
Yes. We will have vegetarian, vegan, and gluten‑free options. Please let us know at RSVP if you have any food allergies or other restrictions not listed, and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
Yes, we will have a professional photographer as well as a content creator taking photos. We ask guests to refrain from using phones during the ceremony (unplugged ceremony) to help everyone be fully present. At the reception, however, we encourage everyone to take photos and to please share those with us as you're able!
There's a little time between the ceremony and reception, so check out "Things To Do" section for nearby spots to grab a drink, enjoy the waterfront, or explore downtown Buffalo while you wait for the evening fun!
The ceremony will be held indoors at St. Louis Church. Dinner will be held indoors at The Saturn Club, but we hope to dance the night away under the stars in the beautiful courtyard. Buffalo evenings in the fall can be crisp, so may need to dress warmly!
