To ensure a smooth and timely start to our wedding ceremony, we kindly ask that all guests arrive prior to the scheduled start time. This allows everyone to find their seats, settle in, and be ready for the ceremony to begin promptly. For our ceremony at Our Lady of Purgatory Church in New Bedford, MA, please plan to arrive before our 4:00 PM start time. This ensures that all guests are seated and ready when the ceremony begins.
Our wedding is a black-tie event, and we invite you to dress accordingly. This means formal evening attire: For Women: Floor-length gowns or formal dresses. For Men: Tuxedos or suits We look forward to celebrating with you in style!
We understand the desire to share our special day with a guest. However, due to venue constraints and our wish for an intimate celebration, we can only accommodate those guests whose names are listed on the invitation. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to celebrating with you!
We love your little ones, but our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. We hope this gives you a chance to enjoy a night off and celebrate with us. Thank you for understanding!
Absolutely! Please let us know about any food allergies or dietary restrictions when you RSVP. We’ll work with our caterer to make sure you have a delicious and safe meal to enjoy on our wedding day.
Our ceremony will be indoors at the church. The reception at The Lakehouse will include both indoor and outdoor spaces for guests to enjoy, but dinner and dancing will take place inside.
We welcome you to capture memories during our special day. Please be mindful of the photographer's and videographer's space and refrain from using flash during the ceremony.
