FAQs
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
Please aim to arrive at St. Mary's 15 minutes before the ceremony starts—this ensures everything runs smoothly and you’re seated before the bride makes her entrance. The ceremony begins at 2:00 PM, so plan to be there by 1:45 PM.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
We'd love to see our friends and family dress up with us! We are requesting black-tie optional for our wedding. For gentlemen, this typically means tuxedo preferred and suits allowed, and for ladies, floor-length gowns preferred and shorter dresses or semi-formal jumpsuits allowed.
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
We can only accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. Your invitation will be addressed as [Your Name] + [Guest] if a plus one has been given to you.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
While we adore all the little ones in our lives, we have opted for an adults-only celebration to ensure that everyone can relax and enjoy the festivities. The only children in attendance will be those specifically listed on your invitation that are members of the wedding party.
Question
I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?
Answer
Yes, absolutely! Your health and comfort are important to us. Please let us know about any food allergies or dietary restrictions when you RSVP, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs.
