FAQs

Question

Can I Park at the Venue?

Answer

Yes! Street parking is available at St. Vincent Ferrer Catholic Church, and both street parking and valet are available near The Rockwell on the River. We also recommend using rideshare services like Lyft or Uber for convenience and a safe, stress-free evening. If you’re staying at The Drake, transportation will be provided to the church and reception, with more details to follow.

Question

I have a food allergy/restriction—can I make a special request?

Answer

Absolutely. Just to preface, any food served during our wedding weekend will be prepared without nuts. We’ll have options for all dietary needs, with specific accommodations for gluten-free and dairy-free guests. Please note your restriction on your RSVP and inform your server at the reception. For special requests or severe allergies, reach out to our wedding planner, Haylie Scherr, at hello@heirloomeventcompany.com

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

While we love your little ones, we kindly request that the celebration be adults-only, with the exception of the children in our wedding party.

Question

What Should I Wear?

Answer

Each celebration will have a suggested dress code listed in the Schedule section. For our reception, we would love for our guests to embrace Indian clothing, but it's absolutely not required. American attire is welcome to all events. Most importantly, wear whatever you feel comfortable and ready to dance in.

Question

What type of Indian clothes should I be searching for?

Answer

For women Lehenga: A three-piece set with a skirt (lehenga), blouse (choli), and a scarf or shawl (dupatta). Salwar Kameez: literally translates to “pants and shirt”, it’s a tunic and pant set, usually with a dupatta. Anarkali: A babydoll style gown with pants underneath, elegant and easy to wear. Sari: The most iconic Indian outfit. It’s a very long draped fabric worn over a blouse and petticoat, but it takes expert skills to tie. If you aren’t a pro, I suggest looking for a pre-draped, pre-stitched, or lehenga saris. Indo-Western Sets: Trendy sets that mix classic Indian with modern silhouettes For men Kurta Pajama: A long tunic with straight pants (literally translates to “shirt and pants”). If you want to jazz it up, feel free to add a Nehru vest, stole, or bandhgala jacket. Sherwani: A formal, embellished jacket usually paired with straight or fitted/skinny leg (churidar) pants.
