The day will start at St. Joseph Catholic Church (11001 N 40th St, Phoenix) at 12:00pm, so plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early to find a seat and get settled in. The ceremony should take about 45 minutes to an hour. Afterwards you will have between approximately 1:00-4:00pm to relax or do what you please while the bride, groom and wedding party are taking photos with the photographer. Cocktail hour will begin at 4:00pm at the reception venue, El Chorro (5550 E Lincoln Dr, Paradise Valley). The bride and groom are so excited they will most likely be able to attend cocktail hour and chat with you all! Dinner and formal entrances will begin at 5:00pm.
Yes! Your kids are welcome at both the ceremony and reception if you so choose. The bride and groom feel it is up to the parents on whether they are more comfortable bringing their kids or leaving them for the night. Either way, we look forward to a great day/night with everyone!
We will be serving a plated meal, and provide an open bar, so come prepared to party!
Our wedding is formal attire so please dress accordingly. Arizona can get pretty warm starting in May, so expect to dress for 90-100 degree heat while the sun is out. Once the sun goes down you can expect 15 degree drop in temperature.
As much as we'd love to celebrate with as many people as possible, our venue has a maximum capacity that we are very close to. If we haven't specifically addressed an invite to you and your significant other, we respectfully ask that you rsvp for just yourself. If you are unsure please reach out to Cole or Nicole for you specifically!
