FAQs

A few helpful answers before the big day...
Question

Which Murphy's Taproom is the reception at?

Answer

There are two Murphy’s Taproom locations—please make sure you're heading to the correct one: Murphy’s Taproom & Carriage House 📍 393 State Route 101, Bedford, NH 03110 Do not go to the Manchester location!

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

There is no free parking at the church. Guests can use nearby street parking or the Hartnett Lot, located directly across from the cathedral: 📍 99 Lowell St, Manchester, NH 03101 Good news—parking is free at the reception venue!

Question

What should we do between the ceremony and reception?

Answer

There will be a bit of downtime between the ceremony and the start of cocktail hour. We recommend grabbing a bite at one of the local restaurants nearby. If you’d prefer to head straight to the reception venue, you’re welcome to do so. On the left side of the venue, you’ll find Murphy’s Taproom, a connected restaurant where you can relax and enjoy a drink until the festivities begin in the Carriage House ballroom, just across the way!

Question

What color are the bridesmaid dresses?

Answer

The bridesmaids will be wearing shades of pink- specifically English Rose and Pale Blush Pink.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

If your child’s name is not listed on the RSVP, please assume they are not included unless you’ve received confirmation from the bride or groom. If you have any questions about bringing an extra guest or children, don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

We kindly ask that guests dress in summer-formal attire. Think suits, ties, long summer-friendly dresses, or anything you'd feel great wearing to a celebratory evening out! Please note that the church is not air-conditioned, so dress accordingly to stay comfortable—but also keep in mind that this is a sacred space, so we ask that everyone dress respectfully and appropriately for Mass.
