Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

The ceremony begins at 2:30pm. We recommend arriving at 2:00pm to allow for everyone to park and be seated before the ceremony begins. Parking is located next to the church or in the extra church lot across the street (direct walkway to the church). The ceremony will include a traditional Catholic mass and will last for about an hour.

Question

Is there parking available at the ceremony and reception venues?

Answer

Yes! Both the church and golf club have parking lots that are handicap accessible, if needed. At the church, there is a lot right next to the entrance or directly across the street with a walkway available to the church.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Semi-Formal: We suggest cocktail dresses or formal gowns for the ladies, and suits or slacks and a button up for the men.

Question

What are the wedding colors?

Answer

The bridesmaids will be wearing maroon velvet dresses and the groomsman will be in black suits.

Question

Are these events indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony is indoors at St. Brigid of Kildare Church. The cocktail hour and reception are indoors at The Golf Club of Dublin. Weather permitting, we will have access to an outdoor patio as well, so we recommend bringing a jacket or shall to enjoy that space.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

November weather in Ohio is typically 40-60 degrees F. We are praying for some sunshine and clear skies!

Question

What is the best way to RSVP?

Answer

We prefer our guests to RSVP through our wedding website. There is also an option to mail in your RSVP. Both of these options will be available within a few months of the wedding to make sure our guest count is as accurate as possible.

Question

When is the deadline to submit the RSVP?

Answer

Please let us know if you or anyone listed on your invitation can or cannot make it to the celebration by Friday, October 17th.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We can only accommodate the number of guests listed on your invitation. If you have any questions, please let us know and we can clarify.

Question

Are children invited?

Answer

We adore all of the children in our lives and want to include them in our special day! Since we are limited to event space and have lots of loved little ones, we are only formally inviting our nieces and nephews. For our family members who would like to bring their children, the cry rooms will be open at the church and we encourage you to utilize them if needed to make sure the bride/groom and guests can focus on all of the special moments during the ceremony. There will not be childcare provided at either venue. If you prefer to have an adult-only evening at the reception, we encourage arranging family or a sitter to meet you between the ceremony and reception to provide childcare until you return home. We also understand if you would prefer to get a sitter for the entirety of the ceremony and reception.

Question

Can I take photos and videos during the ceremony?

Answer

We kindly ask that you do not have your phones or cameras out during the ceremony. Our photographer will be capturing the special moments and we don’t want phones in the photos. We will share these images with you when they are ready!

Question

Can I post photos to social media?

Answer

Yes! We encourage our guests to share photos from the day with us and with their family and friends. We kindly ask that you do not post any photos that include children on social media without approval from their parents.
