Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
It would be an honor for us to see everybody dressed up, formally, for our big day. Wear any color you would like, but please refrain from hues of Sage Green, as this is to represent the bridal party.
Question
What time should I arrive for the ceremony?
Answer
Our ceremony begins promptly at 1:00 PM at St. Anne Catholic in Barrington. Our church has no worry of seating capacity, but we recommend arriving early to get the best view of our beautiful church and ceremony.
Question
Where do I park for the ceremony?
Answer
St. Anne resides in a neighborhood near downtown Barrington, meaning there is a small parking lot in front of the Parish, and another lot next to the school. If this parking is not enough, street parking is available all along the church and in the neighborhood. If you put St. Anne in your maps for directions, it will take you to the Parish across the street. You may park here or the lot next to the church itself, both a very short walk.
