Formal attire is suggested for the ceremony and reception. We recommend a suit and tie for men, and a formal dress (any length) or pantsuit for women.
Our Lady of Sorrows has a large parking lot located directly behind the church and school, on Rhodes Ave. The Franklin of Soulard also has a dedicated parking lot to the side of the building, at the corner of Allen and S. 8th. Street parking is also available. The venue offers a security patrol for the parking lot and surrounding street parking.
In order to respect the sanctity of the church and maintain a prayerful reverence during our wedding mass, we ask that guests please refrain from taking photos during the entrance procession and ceremony.
We have decided that our wedding and reception events will be for adults. Invited older children have been included on the formal invitations.
Most local parishes require all wedding events to be completed by 3:00, as the churches typically host other services beginning at 4:00. Feel free to explore the many suggestions listed on our “Things to Do” page until our reception opens at 5:00. We appreciate your understanding.
Of course! Please indicate any special dietary needs on your RSVP card.
