What to Expect- the FAQs
Question
What to expect?
Answer
We are incorporating Filipino and Vietnamese/Chinese elements within our wedding. This will include traditions such as a veil and cord (originating from the Philippines).
Question
What if I do not RSVP by the deadline?
Answer
If we do not receive an RSVP back from you by our specified deadline, you will be marked as "not attending". It’s important we must provide accurate guest counts to all of our vendors within a timely manner. Please reach out to Ellice Mae at 407-928-8332 if you may need accommodations with time. We hope to see you there!
Question
Where can I park at the church?
Answer
St. James has a parking garage that is less than a one minute walk from the church. Please park in spots that say, "St. James Cathedral Parking Only." The parking garage is MAA Robinson located at 310 N. Orange Ave, Orlando, FL 32801
Question
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
Answer
We are having an "unplugged" ceremony. This means we are asking that all phones and camera be put away and turned to silent/off during the ceremony. We have hired professionals to capture some of the most important moments of our lives. It would be unfortunate for us to have a guest unintentionally photo bomb a photo while on their phone. After the ceremony, please feel free to take as many photos as you want! We promise to share the ceremony photos once we receive them!
Question
What is for dinner?
Answer
Dinner will be served family style so be prepared to share with others! It will consist of Chinese/Vietnamese cuisine. If you have any allergies, please contact Ellice Mae at 407-928-8332 so we can coordinate with the caterer.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
We want to see you dressed to impress! We are excited to have a formal wedding and ask you to dress in black tie attire consisting of formal gowns and suits.
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you receive a plus one, there will be a place to share who your plus one will be when you RSVP. Thank you so much for understanding and joining us on our special day!
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
While we love your little ones, our wedding is going to have a limited number of kids allowed. We have a strict guest list to stay within our venue's capacity and our budget. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us!
