FAQs
How do I RSVP
To RSVP, please take a moment to fill out the response card that was mailed to you. On the card, you’ll need to indicate whether you will be able to attend or not. In addition, there's a section where you can specify your meal preference, so we can ensure there's something you'll enjoy. Once completed, please return the card by July 25th, so we can finalize our plans.
When should I RSVP by?
To help us with our planning, we kindly ask that you RSVP for the events as soon as possible. The final deadline to submit your response is July 25, 2025. To RSVP, please mail in your response card. If we do not receive your RSVP by the deadline, we will assume that you are unable to attend.
What is the dress code?
We would love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day! The official dress code is cocktail attire required, formal preferred.
What time should I arrive for the Ceremony?
Please arrive at The Basilica of Saint Mary between 1:30 p.m. and 1:45 p.m. to allow ample time for parking and getting seated before the procession begins at 2 p.m.
Where do I park?
Parking near the venue is limited, with metered street parking available. We recommend using Uber or Lyft for the most convenient transportation to and from the event.
Will there be a Catholic Mass during the Ceremony?
Yes, our wedding ceremony will include a Catholic Mass. We invite all guests to join us in this special celebration of our union. If you are unfamiliar with the Mass, please feel free to participate in whichever way is comfortable for you—our priest will guide us through the service.
Can I take pictures during the Ceremony?
Once the ceremony begins, we ask that all phones be put away and silenced. We want everyone to be fully present with us and for our photographer to be able to capture the best moments, which we will absolutely share with you.
What do I do during the break?
With the ceremony ending around 3 p.m. and cocktail hour starting at 5 p.m. you'll have a little time free on Saturday afternoon. Use this time however suits you! Head back to the hotel to rest and freshen up, grab a late lunch, or go somewhere fun for a cocktail. You can find restaurant recommendations on our website.
Will there be an after-party?
Yes! The celebration doesn’t end with the reception — we’ll be keeping the party going at Bourgie Nights immediately afterward. It’s just a short 10-minute walk from the venue. There will be a DJ, dancing, and plenty of fun. The after-party will wrap up around 12:30am. We can’t wait to keep the night going with you!
