FAQs

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We’re going semi-formal for our big day! Think cocktail attire, dresses, dress pants, and anything that feels a little dressed up but still comfortable. Please no jeans or white attire (we’re saving that color for the bride!). Suit jackets are totally optional, but a nice button-up shirt is required for our gentlemen! We can’t wait to see everyone looking sharp and celebrating with us!

Question

Are kids allowed?

Answer

Yes! Kids are absolutely welcome and we’d love for them to be part of our special day. That said, the venue is not a free-for-all, so we kindly ask that parents keep a close eye on their children throughout the celebration. If you’re looking forward to a night out, that’s totally okay too! No pressure at all either way! Just please note that we will not be providing childcare or a babysitter during the event.

Question

Is there a hotel block?

Answer

We won’t be having a hotel block for this event since so many of our guests are traveling in from different areas. Because of that, there isn’t one hotel that would be convenient for everyone. That said, there are plenty of great hotel options nearby, and we encourage you to choose whatever works best for your travel plans and comfort!

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Unless your invitation specifically indicates a plus one, we kindly ask that you not bring an additional guest. All plus ones have already been thoughtfully accounted for by the bride and groom, including partners and the significant others of close friends. We truly appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Question

What do I do if I'm not Catholic?

Answer

You are absolutely still welcome to attend our ceremony. We’re so happy to have you there! Feel free to follow along and enjoy the day as it unfolds. The only request we have is that you refrain from receiving Communion unless you have previously received that sacrament. If you’d like, you are more than welcome to come forward for a blessing. We just want everyone to feel comfortable and included in a way that respects the ceremony.

Question

Will there be alcohol?

Answer

Yes! We’ll have an open bar available for our guests to enjoy. There will also be plenty of non-alcoholic options, so everyone has something they can sip on and celebrate with us comfortably. Cheers!

Question

What will be served for dinner?

Answer

We’re excited to be catering from Lock 16. Dinner will be served buffet-style with the choice of baked chicken or lasagna, along with sides to enjoy. If you have any dietary restrictions or special accommodations, please reach out to the bride or groom ahead of time so we can do our best to make arrangements for you.

Question

What do I do between the ceremony and the reception?

Answer

After the ceremony, feel free to head over to the reception venue where we’ll have a grazing table set up and the bar will be open for you to enjoy. If you’d rather explore a bit, there are also some great local bars nearby where you can relax and hang out until the reception begins. We just want everyone to have a good time in whatever way feels best for them!

Question

When should I show up for the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will begin promptly at 1:30 PM. We kindly ask that guests arrive about 15–20 minutes early, but no earlier than that, as the bride may be taking photos and getting ready. Thank you for helping us keep the moment special and running smoothly. We can’t wait to see you there!
