The Cathedral currently requires that a mask be worn at all times except when receiving communion. The only exceptions are for the bride and groom. The rest of the wedding party can walk down the aisle without a mask, but must wear one once in the pew.
The reception venue will not be enforcing masks. We prefer to allow guests to make whichever choice is best for them.
The Chase Park Plaza hotel is an elegant hotel that is very close to the Cathedral. We have been able to secure great rates there with complimentary parking (usually parking is $25/day). The Home2Suites hotel is an extended stay hotel with kitchen facilities that can accommodate up to five persons per room. Both hotels are excellent choices.
