The ceremony and reception will both take place at Memorial Baptist Church. The ceremony will take place in the sanctuary located on the main/street level entrance of N Glebe Road. The reception will take place in the fellowship hall located on the lower level. We would love everyone to join us as we share Christmas foods traditional to Cuba and the Philippines. As is tradition on Christmas Day, today we are all family and we celebrate the love of Christ for us and in us. Access to stairs is available at the front and back of the sanctuary. An elevator is available on every floor level where the wedding events will take place. From the sanctuary, the elevator is located towards the front platform and to the left. Restrooms are accessible on the lower level where the reception will be held in the fellowship hall. Memorial Baptist Church 3455 N Glebe Road Arlington, VA 22207 703.538.7000 www.memorialbaptistchurch.org
The ceremony will begin at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, December 15. We kindly ask guests to arrive 15-20 minutes prior to ensure a great seat and an opportunity to mingle. Entry to the sanctuary will be available up until the bride and her father make their entrance; at this time, the front doors will be locked until they have made their way to the alter where the bride and groom will pronounce their nuptials. Once they have arrived at the alter, the doors will reopen for you to be seated.
