FAQs
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
The seating of the family will begin at 1:55 pm and the ceremony will begin at 2:00 pm. We recommend getting there 20-30 minutes before the start of the ceremony. The church has plenty of parking available in both the front and rear parking lots.
Question
Is there parking for the reception?
Answer
The Jefferson Hotel has a paid parking lot. It is $15 per night for self-parking and $30 per night for valet parking.
Question
Why is there 3 hours between the start of the ceremony and the start of the reception?
Answer
Because the Catholic Church has Mass on Saturday evening, the latest a ceremony can start is 2:00 pm. The ceremony should last 45 minutes. This leaves a “Catholic gap.” During this time, the wedding party will be taking pictures. Guests are welcome to grab a drink at a local restaurant, return to their hotel, or site see in Richmond. Please see the “Things to Do” section to see places we recommend.
Question
Are kids invited?
Answer
We love your kids, but our wedding is your night off! We recommend using River City Sitters to find a local babysitter.
