The RSVP deadline was March 13, 2026. If you didn't respond by that date, you were marked as "not attending." We would love to celebrate with you; however, we have to provide an exact guest count to our vendors and cannot accept late RSVP's.
If you already RVSP'd "attending," but find you will not be able to make it. Please notify the bride or groom as soon as you are aware.
Due to limited venue capacity, we are only able to accommodate those listed on the invitation. If you received a plus one, it will be indicated on your RSVP card.
All are welcome at Mass, but we respectfully request that our reception be a child-free celebration.
For men, we recommend dark suits or black tuxedos. For women, we recommend maxi or floor length gowns in vibrant or pastel colors. Floral prints for gowns are also welcome. Need some inspiration? Take a look at this mood board: https://pin.it/1fwF5rVhb
Our wedding Mass will begin punctually at 1 p.m. Please arrive no later than 12:45 p.m. If you arrive late, you won't be allowed in the church until after the wedding procession.
For the ceremony, parking is available in the horseshoe next to the church or in Loyola’s parking garage behind the church, but space is not guaranteed. You do not have to pay to park on campus. For the reception, street parking is available on S Peters St. There are also premium parking lots nearby.
We will have a full Mass. It will be about an hour long. We will have programs available for you to follow along. In keeping with Catholic tradition, Holy Communion will be offered during the Mass. We kindly ask that only practicing Catholics who are properly disposed receive Communion. All others are invited to remain seated or come forward with arms crossed to receive a blessing.

We will have a 2-hour gap, commonly known as the "Catholic gap,” between our wedding ceremony and reception due to scheduling for the church and reception venue. There is nothing formally scheduled for this time, but we hope this can serve as an opportunity for family and friends to socialize, or a useful window to take kids home, change outfits for the evening or enjoy an outing on what will hopefully be a nice spring afternoon in New Orleans.
