FAQs
Question
What day of the week is the wedding ceremony and reception?
Answer
FRIDAY! We know... a pain... but we hope to see you there!
Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
The ceremony will begin promptly at 3:00 pm. Please arrive no earlier than 2:30 pm, as St. Patrick's school will be in session and performing bus pick-up. An ideal time to arrive will be 2:45 pm to ensure you are seated and we can begin on time. If you choose to not attend the ceremony, the cocktail hour at Westbury Manor begins at 7:00 pm.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
We are requesting Formal Attire for our wedding. For gentlemen, a suit and dress shoes are perfect—no need for a tuxedo. For ladies, a formal gown or cocktail dress is great. Please feel free to wear any color except white. The bridesmaids will be wearing a foresty-dark green, in case you'd prefer to avoid matching them.
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
Due to limited space, we can only accommodate guests who are formally invited. If you have received a plus one, it will be specifically addressed within the invitation RSVP as "Guest". Thank you for understanding.
Question
Are children welcome?
Answer
As much as we love your little ones, our wedding is exclusively for adults, with the exception of immediate family, children belonging to our wedding party and kids over 12.
