Q + A

Ceremony

♡ ♡ ♡

What time should I arrive for the ceremony?

We request guests arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the ceremony start time.

Will there be parking at Our Lady Help of Christians parish?

Yes, there will be ample parking in the back of the parish at 285 Adams St, Newton, MA 02458.

Are phones allowed during the ceremony?

We've hired a professional photographer and videographer to capture the ceremony. Please silence and put away phones so you can relax and enjoy the moment with us. Photos will be available after the wedding.

Is there a break between the ceremony and the reception?

Yes, there will be a gap between the end of the ceremony and the start of the reception. This gives us (bride + groom) time for photos and allows the venue to get ready for the party! This is your time to relax, freshen up, check into your hotel if you haven't already, or explore Boston!

Reception

♡ ♡ ♡

Is there transporation provided between the ceremony and reception venues?

No, we do not have any planned transportation, however, with Boston being such a metropolitan area there are ample options through ride sharing apps. There are also many hotels within close proximity to the reception at the New England Aquarium or near the ceremony location if you choose to stay near one of these locations.

Will there be parking at the New England Aquarium?

For reception parking, consult the New England Aquarium's parking guide for nearby garages and rates, especially for weekday evening deals (https://www.neaq.org/visit/directions-and-parking) The Harbor Garage (0.1 mi) offers $32 validated parking (Aquarium Information Desk), but the guide may offer cheaper options.

What is the dress code?

Let's celebrate in style! Cocktail attire is requested. We encourage you to wear something you feel confident and comfortable in so you can join us on the dance floor. White attire is reserved for the bride.

We have reserved a group block at the following hotels: The Bostonian Hotel (26 North St, Boston, MA 02109), Four Points by Sheraton Boston Newton (320 Washington St, Newton, MA 02458). Please see our wedding website Travel page for more information on how to book accommodations at the above hotels. Please feel free to stay somewhere else if neither of these hotels fit your budget and travel style!

Where can I RSVP?

Registry

♡ ♡ ♡

Where is your wedding registry?

We've opted not to have a traditional registry, as we're saving for our dream honeymoon! For those who wish to celebrate with a gift, contributions can be made via check, cash, or Venmo (@Caroline-Telma @Austen-Young). A gift box will also be available at the reception.
