This will be a full Catholic Nuptial Mass, so please dress in your semi-formal Sunday best (please leave the jeans/flip-flops at home- check out our FAQ for more info)! If you aren't familiar with a Catholic ceremony, no worries -- we'll have guidance in our program. St. Joe's has a free parking lot, as well as free street parking. However, we do recommend carpooling and arriving early in case the parking lot is full. We'll have time for group photos after the ceremony, but check out our "Things to Do" page for recommendations for fun places to check out in between the ceremony and reception.
3:30 pm - 5:00 pm
Between the wedding ceremony and the reception, you'll have a bit of time to yourselves. You are free to head back to your room/home for a bit of a nap or to change in to your fancy evening wear. You can also explore Seattle and/or Bellevue for a drink or something to do; both our ceremony and reception venues have plenty of fun things to check out nearby. If you need some ideas, we've got a "Things to Do" page on this site -- take a look at some of the things you could do!
5:00 pm
Semi-Formal: Suits and gowns are welcome, as are jackets and slacks and cocktail dresses for this event.
Cocktail hour begins at 5pm, with an opportunity to take pictures with the bride and groom, grab a drink, and play some games. Seated dinner begins at 6pm. Get ready for a multi-course Vietnamese wedding banquet, served family style! Word on the street is that there may even be some karaoke involved as dinner entertainment. ;) There will be a cash bar with alcoholic beverages and mocktails available (in addition to a couple of drinks on us!)
