FAQs

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Join us in celebrating with a touch of elegance! Our dress code is formal. The bridal party will be dressed in black tie, so whether you opt for a tuxedo, a floor length gown, or a stylish formal dress or suit, you’ll fit right in. We can’t wait to see you looking your best!

Question

What does formal attire mean?

Answer

Formal attire ranges from gowns and tuxes to below-the-knee dresses and suits. It is a step up from cocktail attire. As an additional note, the ceremony will be in a Catholic church, so please dress appropriately.

Question

Can I Bring a Guest?

Answer

As of now, we can only accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation for our intimate gathering. If you receive a plus one, it will appear on your invite. We will reach out closer to the wedding if space becomes available for a plus one.

Question

Are children included in the festivities?

Answer

Although we adore and love your little ones, we kindly request an adults only affair.

Question

When will RSVPs open?

Answer

RSVPs will be available to be submitted once formal invitations are sent. Once formal invitations are sent, a "RSVP" tab will appear on this site for you to complete.

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

We would love to know whether or not you can make it as soon as possible, but we know that sometimes it can be hard to give a definitive answer so far in advance. Please kindly RSVP by December 5, 2025! If we do not receive an RSVP from you by then, we will assume you are not able to make it and will not be able to save a seat for you during the reception.

Question

Is there a hotel room block?

Answer

Yes! We have a room block at the Morris Inn, which is a hotel on campus. It is a 5 minute walk to the Basilica where the ceremony will be taking place. The cocktail hour and reception will be held at the Morris Inn, as well. Room block link: https://book.passkey.com/event/51014938/owner/50803637/home?utm_campaign=297039492

Question

Where do I park on Campus?

Answer

The Morris Inn has its own parking lot (and valet) for guests that are utilizing our discounted room block. If you decide to stay off campus, parking at the Hammes Bookstore lot (address: 1 N Notre Dame Ave) is another option and is a 5 minute walk from the Morris Inn.

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

Answer

We will be having a screen free ceremony. Our wonderful photographer will be able to capture the most beautiful moments from inside the Basilica, but please take all the photos and videos your heart desires throughout the rest of the events - we can’t wait to see the day from your point of view!
