Question

Are children allowed to the ceremony/reception?

Answer

Families and children are welcome to attend the ceremony, which is a full Catholic mass, at St. Michael's church in Livonia at 4pm on Friday, June 14, 2024. We love all the littles in our life and know how special they are to you. However, we have decided to have an adults (18+) only reception. Thank you for your understanding.

Question

Can I bring a date (plus one) to your wedding?

Answer

Unfortunately, due to budget and space limitations, we simply cannot afford for all our lovely guests to bring a guest of their own. Only those guests who are named specifically on the invitation are invited to the reception. Thank you so much for understanding.

The church ceremony begins at 4:00pm. Cocktail hour begins at 6:00pm. Family members of the bride and groom should remain at the church following the ceremony for quick family photos. Non-family guests are invited to head over to the Meeting House Grand Ballroom with an arrival time at or after 6:00pm.
