TRAVEL INFORMATION:

Sacramento International Airport is just about a 20 minute drive to Downtown Sacramento (near our reception venue) and a 25 minute drive to East Sacramento (near the church). We've listed our preferred hotel below, but between hotels and Airbnbs, there are plenty of options for places to stay nearby for any budget or situation! Feel free to reach out with any questions :)

Preferred Hotel:

Located halfway between the Church and the Venue, around a 10 minute drive either way! It's also directly next to Cafeteria 15L, which is where Sam asked Audrey's parents for their permission to marry her. ❤️ If you're going to book using Marriott rewards, make sure you double check that you're signed in and included in the Block!

What can I do between the mass and the reception?

There's plenty to do and see between the church and the venue. We'd recommend hanging out at SacYard Community Tap House, about 4 minutes from Sacred Heart!Or for those looking to walk and shop, we'd recommend checking out Old Sacramento Waterfront or R Street (starting at the 18th Street intersection)!

What should I expect at a Catholic Wedding Mass?

A Catholic Wedding Mass is a full Mass that includes a wedding ceremony. It usually lasts about 60–75 minutes and takes place inside a church. It follows the traditional structure of a Catholic Mass, but with the Rite of Marriage added in. Here is some information that might be helpful to know:WHAT TO WEAR: Church-appropriate attire is more modest, so please avoid anything too flashy or revealing. Shoulders covered is respectful but not strictly required. However, ultimately, we would just love to see you there!ETIQUETTE: Arrive early (10-20 minutes before) and find a place to sit. Please silence your phone or, better yet, turn it all the way off! There are no photos during the ceremony.PARTICIPATION: You'll be invited to stand, sit, or kneel at various points—just follow others around you if you feel comfortable! If you don't feel comfortable kneeling, please just sit quietly. Hymns, responses, and prayers will be in the program so you can follow along. You’re welcome to participate even if you're not Catholic! If you are not Catholic, please just skip Communion. Not sure what Communion is? Check out the next section below!SUMMARY OF THE MASS: First, there will be an ENTRANCE PROCESSION, where the priest, bridesmaids, groomsmen, groom, and bride walk down the aisle to the front of the church. Next are the INTRODUCTORY RITES, where everyone stands and the priest greets the congregation. There may be an opening hymn and short prayer. Then, there is the LITURGY OF THE WORD, which is when some Scripture is read from the Old Testament, Psalms, New Testament, and Gospels. This is followed by a homily, a brief sermon that focuses on marriage and faith. We've now reached the wedding part of the Mass called THE RITE OF MARRIAGE. At this point, the couple comes forward to exchange vows, rings, and receive a blessing. The priest may invite the congregation to stand or sit during this part. The LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST (or HOLY COMMUNION) is the central part of the Mass, as Catholics believe that the bread and wine are truly transformed into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, a miraculous transformation referred to as transubstantiation. Because of this belief, the Eucharist (the transformed bread and wine) may only be received by practicing Catholics in a state of grace. If you are not of our faith tradition or do not wish to receive, you may either stay seated or get in line with your arms crossed over your chest to receive a blessing. If you are not practicing Catholic, please do not receive the Eucharist out of respect of our faith tradition. Thank you! Finally, there will be a FINAL BLESSING and RECESSIONAL, where the priest will give a blessing over the couple and the congregation. Everyone will then stand as the wedding party exits.LAST MESSAGE: We are so so SOOOO thrilled for you to witness our Sacrament of Holy Matrimony! If you have any more questions, concerns, or anything, please reach out to one of us! The part of our wedding that we are both most looking forward to is seeing all of our loved ones in the church, witnessing our vows to God and to each other. It would mean the world to us to see you there!

What's the November weather like in Sacramento?

November in Sac can get a little chilly, so don't forget your coat! Expect highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s. Should be clear or cloudy skies, but a chance of rain.

I'm flying in, where can I send gifts?
