FAQs

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Due to venue regulations, the number of guests allowed is limited. Please see your formal invitation once it arrives to find out how many seats have been reserved in your honor!

Question

What is the attire for the reception?

Answer

Garden Formal - Black-Tie Optional: We'd love to see everyone at their best dressed (tuxedos, floor-length dresses, suit and tie, etc.)! With the summer season and the beautiful outdoor garden venue in mind, we welcome those floral-print gowns and summer tones!

Question

What about the ceremony?

Answer

Same as the reception! However, there will be time in between the ceremony and reception if there are two outfits you're excited to show off!

Question

How long should I expect the ceremony to be?

Answer

Catholic Wedding ceremonies are usually 45 minutes to an hour long. We expect the ceremony to conclude at about 3:30 pm. The reception does not start until 5:30 pm, so please use the time between events to freshen up, explore the area, or rest before festivities! We would love to see everyone there regardless of spiritual belief, faith, or denomination.

Question

What is the easiest way to get to and from the wedding events?

Answer

As the ceremony and the venue are around 30 minutes away from each other by car, we recommend our guests utilize rental cars, taxis, Uber, or other ride shares to transit. The nearby BWI airport has plenty of transportation options to choose from.

Question

Will the wedding be outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony will be held indoors in St. Casimir Church. The reception will be at the Belmont Manor & Historic Park, which is an outdoor venue that is underneath a covered tent. The tent has powerful fans and airflow, but the wedding is scheduled for an August evening in Maryland, which historically can be hot. Be sure to pay close attention to the weather leading up to our big day and plan accordingly!

Question

Do you have a hotel block?

Answer

We do! In fact, there are two options to choose from. Please note that one option includes a breakfast buffet in the rate while the other does not. We will be staying at the Hilton Baltimore BWI!

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Yes, our wedding will have an open bar!
