Please select the RSVP tab on the website, and fill in your name! We will also have a phone line available to RSVP if you prefer to do it that way. Please call (361) 245-0535 and leave a message indicating your name, and whether or not you will be attending.
When is RSVP due by?
Please RSVP by September 1 so that we can get a final head count to our vendors.
What is the dress code?
The dress code is Sunday best.
How do I find the ceremony and reception venues?
Because the area is rural, we encourage our guests to refer to the maps posted on our website to ensure that you are able to find your way.
How long will the ceremony be?
A Catholic wedding mass usually is 1 hour and 15 minutes. All are welcome to the mass and we would love for everyone to be in attendance.
Will food and drinks be served at the reception?
Yes! We are happy to serve you a buffet dinner, as well as wine and our favorite Shiner beers!
Are there blocked rooms?
Unfortunately the hotels in the area are too small to do room blocks, but check our Travel page to see the hotels. There are many hotels in the area and also some fun bed and breakfasts that we encourage you to check out!
What time should I arrive for the ceremony?
We encourage our guests to arrive at the church 15-30 minutes in advance to ensure you leave plenty of time to find the venue and a place to park. It is a rural area, so it can be confusing to find. Please refer to the posted directions if you need guidance in finding our church!
Do you have suggestions of things to do while I am in town for the weekend?
Yes! Please check out our "Things to Do" tab to see some fun activities to do while in town. We would definitely recommend checking out Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner as a fun and exciting activity, plus you can see the place where Caroline and Ross first met!
What airport should I fly into? Should I rent a car?
Because of where Shiner and Hallettsville are located, there are many airports that are all about 2 hours away from the venue! We would recommend flying into Austin or San Antonio. Renting a car will be necessary as it is about 2 hours from any of the airports to the venue.
Is there parking for the reception and ceremony venues?
There is parking available for both St. Mary Catholic Church as well as Wied Hall. However, parking at Wied Hall can become a bit hectic as it is a grass field, but we will have a drop off line available for the ladies who would like to keep their shoes clean.
