FAQs

Question

Will You Have a Live Stream?

Answer

Yes! We will have a live stream of the wedding mass available for those that are not able to travel in for the wedding. The link to the live stream will be posted here closer to the wedding!

Question

What should we wear?

Answer

The dress code for our wedding is "Formal". Think suits and ties for the men and long, midi, or cocktail length dresses for the ladies. Please remember to dress appropriately for a church ceremony.

Question

Why is there a gap between the ceremony and reception? What should we do during that time?

Answer

The wedding mass must be held at 2:00 pm to give enough time to prepare for the church to hold a 4:00 pm Saturday vigil mass. During the “Catholic gap”, you could swing by the hotel to freshen up and relax for a few minutes, head to Canton Street or The Avenues for a stroll or a drink or simply take in the views at Vickery Creek outside the reception venue.

Question

What should we expect in terms of transportation?

Answer

There is ample parking available at the Catholic Church of St. Ann and at Roswell Mill Club. Guests staying at the DoubleTree will have access to a free shuttle. See the "Travel" tab for more details. We do ask guests planning to enjoy the open bar at the reception to either take advantage of the shuttle, use a rideshare service, or arrive with a designated driver.

Question

Can I bring a guest?

Answer

While we would love to celebrate with everyone, we have limited the guest list to the individuals explicitly listed on your invitation.

Question

Can you tell me a bit about the history of the Roswell Mill Club?

Answer

Patrick jumping in here… Excellent question! The Roswell Mill has been here since the 1830s, powered by the rushing water of Vickery Creek. By the time the Civil War broke out, the mills were producing cloth and supplies for the Confederacy including the Roswell Grey Uniforms for the army. During General Sherman’s March to the South, the Union army reached Roswell and was surprised to find the mill still operational. Sherman ordered the mill burned, and even more dramatically, he had over 400 workers arrested, mostly women and children. They were accused of treason and sent north by train to Kentucky and Indiana, never to return home. After the war one of the cotton mills and the woolen factory were rebuilt. In 1975, the mill halted operations because of outsourcing cotton production overseas. The historic Roswell Mills are now under the jurisdiction of the U.S. National Park Service. A sculpture of a crumbling column was erected in 2000 to honor the memory of those deported.
