FAQs

Please feel free to reach out to Emma and Patrick with any other questions leading up to our day! We are so excited to celebrate with you and are so grateful to everyone making the trip to Portsmouth!
Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

We're excited for you to join us on our special day! The ceremony will begin at 4:00 pm. The church is a 20-minute drive from downtown Portsmouth and we kindly recommend arriving at St. Joseph's Church in Dover, NH, by 3:30 pm. This should give ample time to navigate any potential Friday afternoon traffic and settle in before the ceremony starts. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony and reception?

Answer

The ceremony at St. Joseph Church has a parking lot at the rear, which is open to all our guests. For the reception, while the venue itself doesn't offer parking, we suggest using the Hanover Garage at 34 Hanover St, Portsmouth, NH - just a short three-minute stroll to the reception. Please be aware that we won’t be providing transportation between the ceremony and reception.

Question

What time does the reception start?

Answer

We're kicking off the reception with a cocktail hour and apps at 6:00 pm, dinner will follow. Be ready to dance the night away!

Question

Can I bring my children?

Answer

We have chosen to make this an adults-only event - think of it as a fun night out for parents!

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

For the wedding ceremony and reception, the dress code is formal. This includes dresses, jumpsuits, or dressy pantsuits, and suits.

Question

Is there a hotel room block?

Answer

Unfortunately none of the hotels in the area provide room blocks, please see the travel section of the website for lodging recommendations. We so appreciate our friends and families making the trip to celebrate with us!
