Question

Where do I park for the ceremony?

Answer

Free parking is available directly in front of Mission Concepción, within walking distance of the entrance.

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be indoors?

Answer

Yes! The ceremony will take place inside the historic Mission Concepción, and the reception will be held right next door at The Venues at Mission Concepción. Both spaces are indoors and climate-controlled, so guests can relax and enjoy the celebration comfortably—rain or shine.

Question

What time should I arrive to the ceremony?

Answer

We recommend arriving 15–20 minutes early to the ceremony at Mission Concepción to allow time for parking and seating. The ceremony will begin promptly, so arriving early helps avoid disruptions once it’s underway.

Question

How far is the reception venue from the ceremony?

Answer

The Venues at Mission Concepción is located right next door to the church—just a short walk away. Guests won’t need to re-park or drive between locations.

Question

Where do I park for the reception?

Answer

Parking is available at Mission Concepción and can be used for both the ceremony and reception. Since the reception venue is right next door, guests can leave their cars in the same lot and simply walk over after the ceremony.

Question

Are there other nearby parking options for the reception?

Answer

Yes! In addition to the main Mission Concepción parking lot, there’s overflow parking available along Felisa Street and Mission Road. All are within a short walking distance to both the church and reception venue.

Question

What food will be served at the reception?

Answer

Guests will enjoy a buffet-style dinner catered by Heavenly Gourmet, featuring a Garden Vegetable Salad with champagne vinaigrette, Heavenly Stuffed Chicken topped with poblano sauce, Yukon Gold smashed potatoes, and sautéed vegetables, served with warm dinner rolls. Dinner will include unsweetened tea and water, along with complimentary coffee service, champagne pouring for the toast, and cake cutting. A Mac & Cheese Bar with jalapeños, chives, breadcrumbs, and bacon bits will also be available, and Melissa (Michelle’s sister) will be making our wedding cake.

Question

Will there be a DJ, dancing, and cake?

Answer

Yes, absolutely! There will be a DJ, dancing, and of course—cake. We’ll be celebrating all night, and we’ll have both a photographer and a videographer there to capture every special moment.

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Yes! We’ll have nonalcoholic drinks during dinner and a hosted bar with beer, wine, and a few signature drinks. Everything will be covered—just relax, celebrate, and enjoy! Drinks are on us—but the hangover’s on you! 😄
