The dress code is springtime formal attire. Elegant fabrics, polished looks, and soft spring colors are encouraged. Dresses may be up to tea length if styled formally. Floral patterns on subtle white backgrounds are welcome, and timeless black attire is also appropriate. The ceremony will be held in a Catholic church, followed by an outdoor waterfront reception. Consider a light layer for the evening air and shoes suited for grass and decking.

Question

Can I take photos?

We kindly ask that guests refrain from taking photos or videos during the ceremony so that everyone can be fully present. Our professional photographer will capture all the important moments for us to cherish and share. During the reception, you're welcome to take your own photos! Please just be courteous of the photographer and try not to block their shots. There will be a QR code for you to upload any favorites to our shared album!

Guests should arrive 15–20 minutes before the ceremony begins at 1:00 PM to allow time for seating.

Parking at Saint Mary’s is permitted during the rehearsal and wedding, but not during the welcome dinner or wedding reception. For the welcome dinner, we recommend parking at the Hillman Garage or finding street parking nearby. Parking at the reception venue is more limited, so we encourage carpooling or using rideshare when possible.
