While we adore your little ones, we have chosen to celebrate our wedding as an adults-only occasion, with the exception of a small, select number of invited children. We kindly ask for your understanding and respect of this decision. For guests traveling with family and planning to enjoy an extended stay, local childcare services are available during the ceremony and reception. Please note that childcare arrangements will be the responsibility of each family, as services will not be provided or reimbursed.
Due to limited seating, we are only able to accommodate guests whose names are listed on the invitation. Attendance will be limited to those invited, and we kindly ask that substitutions or additional guests not be made. We truly appreciate your understanding as we plan an intimate celebration.
The safety and privacy of our closest loved ones is of the utmost importance to us. As the celebration will take place in a tourist-heavy area, security will be present at both the ceremony and reception. To ensure a safe and seamless experience, guests may be asked to present identification upon entry and for alcohol service at the venue bar. Attendance will be limited to those whose names appear on the guest list. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to celebrating together.
The ceremony and reception will be held indoors.
The ceremony will be a full Catholic Mass and will last approximately one hour. Guests of all faiths, as well as those who do not regularly attend church, are warmly welcomed and invited to participate as they feel comfortable while remaining respectful of the service. Programs will be provided to help guide guests through the Mass.
We kindly ask that guests refrain from recording or photographing the ceremony. The church maintains strict guidelines regarding recording, and we have entrusted professional photographers and videographers to capture the moment. We invite you to be fully present and enjoy the ceremony alongside us, knowing the memories are being beautifully preserved.
There are several hotels and inns throughout Historic St. Augustine. If your plans allow, we encourage guests to stay within the Historic District, particularly near the Plaza area. Staying nearby offers easy walking access and helps avoid limited and costly parking in the area.
Parking in St. Augustine is limited, though the city is highly walkable. Guests staying nearby are encouraged to walk or use Uber or Lyft. For those who plan to drive, please note that all street and garage parking in the area is paid parking. Guests should anticipate parking fees of approximately $30 and are encouraged to allow at least one hour to secure parking and walk to the ceremony location.
Black-tie optional attire (minimum of formal) is requested for our celebration. Gentlemen are encouraged to wear a tuxedo or a dark formal suit with dark-colored ties or bow ties. As the ceremony will take place in the oldest catholic parish in America, we kindly ask that women dress modestly while inside the church, with décolletage covered. This is a requirement of the church, and guests who do not meet these guidelines may be denied entry. Ladies are encouraged to wear black-tie optional–appropriate dresses (full-length or tea-length).
Please refrain from wearing white dresses or suits (dress shirts are appropriate), purple, red, or patterns with white, as these colors are reserved for the couple and wedding party. Guests wearing these colors may be asked to change prior to entering the ceremony. We appreciate your understanding as we maintain the intended aesthetic of the day.
