Question

What time is the ceremony?

Answer

Question

What happens between the ceremony and reception?

Answer

Holy Cross Immaculata is only two blocks away from The Monastery Event Center in Mt. Adams. There will be a short break between our 3:00 PM ceremony and the start of cocktail hour at 5:30 PM. During this time, guests are welcome to move their cars to The Monastery lot if needed. If you’d like to explore, Mt. Adams has plenty of great spots for a drink, including Crowley’s Irish Pub, The Hilltop, Monk’s Cove, and The Blind Lemon.
