When should I RSVP by?
Please RSVP by April 15, 2024.
Where should we stay?
If you're looking to stay close by, we recommend staying at the Courtyard by Marriott in Westwood/Dedham where we have a room block. This is the closest hotel to the reception venue, and there will be transportation to and from the hotel to the reception at Blue Hill Country Club.
The room block is almost full at the Marriott, but we have an additional room block at the Hyatt, just 15 minutes away.
What time should I arrive?
The ceremony will start promptly at 3:30pm, and we ask that you arrive at least 20 minutes early to give yourselves a chance to be seated. Please be conscious of Memorial Day weekend traffic, it is particularly brutal in the Greater Boston area, so please plan accordingly.
May I Take Pictures?
We kindly ask that you refrain from taking pictures during our ceremony - we have the utmost trust in our photographer and feel confident she'll capture the moment perfectly. If you do take pictures during the reception, please share them with us.
Is there parking?
Yes, there is ample parking for the ceremony and for the reception. St. Agatha Parish has a large parking lot that will be able to accommodate everyone. For the reception, there is also a parking lot at the Blue Hill Country Club for those who choose to drive. This parking lot is across the street from the entrance to the club. However, transportation will be provided from the Courtyard Marriott hotel in Westwood/Dedham to and from the reception, for those who would prefer not to drive.
What happens after the ceremony?
After the ceremony, the wedding party will be taking pictures nearby for about an hour. Our cocktail hour will start at the Blue Hill Country Club at 6pm. In between, for guests not taking the bus, we suggest guests stop by Trillium Brewing if they're thirsty, and then make their way to the Blue Hill Country Club for cocktail hour at 6pm. For guests staying at the Marriott in Dedham/Westwood, if they'd like to take advantage of the bus to and from the reception, please head to your hotel for the bus to pick you up. The bus will be departing from the Marriott at 5:45pm, and arriving at the Blue Hill Country Club for 6pm.
What time is the bus leaving?
The bus from the Courtyard Marriott in Westwood to the reception will board at 5:30pm, leave the hotel at 5:45pm and arrive at the Blue Hill Country Club for 6pm. The early bus will leave the reception for the hotel ~9:30pm, and boarding will begin at 9:15pm. The late bus boarding will begin at ~11:15pm after the bride and groom sendoff.
What is the dress code?
The dress code is black tie optional. For men: That is either a tuxedo, or a matching two piece dark suit.
For Women: we know you already know what that means.
This is a helpful guide if you'd like more clarity.

Are my children invited?
With the exception of the bride and groom's cousins, we have chosen for our wedding day to be an adult-only occasion. We hope this advance notice means you are still able to join for our big day.
