HOW WILL I GET TO THE CEREMONY?
Guests must drive or coordinate their own ride to and from the Church.
WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE TO THE CEREMONY?
We kindly request that you arrive at the church 20 minutes prior to the scheduled start of the ceremony. This will provide our ushers with ample time to assist in seating, ensuring the prompt commencement of the ceremony.
Where is the ceremony located?
The ceremony will take place at the Basilica of St. Francis Xavier located on 104 3rd St. SW Dyersville, IA 52040. Parking is located all around the Church.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE CEREMONY?
After the ceremony there will be about an hour in-between the ceremony and cocktail hour start. We kindly request that you fill that time in with something on our "things to do tab." We recommend considering a visit to Textile or 7 Hills Brewery to grab some drinks before cocktail hour.
What time should I arrive for cocktail hour?
We kindly request your presence at the Milestone Event Center at 4:30 for the commencement of cocktail hour. The cocktail hour will conclude at 5:30, followed by the start of the reception. We extend an invitation for you to join us at cocktail hour, but should you choose not to, we kindly ask that you arrive at the venue by 5:15, ensuring the punctual start of the party!
WHERE SHOULD GUEST PARK AT THE MILESTONE?
Our venue provides ample parking on well-maintained, paved cement surface.
ARE CHILDREN WELCOME?
Children are warmly invited to the event if they are included on the invitation, appear under your name when you RSVP, or have a fill in option when you RSVP.
Do the hotels provide early check in?
The hotels cannot guarantee early check in for guests. There will be an allotted time between the ceremony and reception for guests to get checked into their hotel.
WHEN IS THE RSVP DEADLINE?
We respectfully request your RSVP by the deadline of June 1st to ensure we have sufficient time to make proper arrangements for all attendees.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I CAN’T MAKE IT?
You will be missed! If you cannot make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP “no,” so we can plan accordingly.
