Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one they will appear under your name when you RSVP.

Question

What can I do between the ceremony and reception?

Answer

Our ceremony will conclude around 2:45 p.m. At that time, guests are invited to return to the city of Richmond, freshen up, explore, or enjoy a drink at a local bar before cocktail hour begins.

Question

Will transportation be provided?

Answer

Buses will be available to transport guests from the Jefferson Hotel to St. Michael Catholic Church. The buses will depart at 1:00 p.m. for the 2:00 p.m. ceremony. Following the ceremony, guests will have the option to take the buses back to the Jefferson Hotel. There will be NO bus service following the reception since many guests will be staying within walking distance. See below for some great hotel options.
