The wedding will start promptly at 2pm. We ask that you arrive at least 15 minutes early to get settled before the proceedings.
What is the dress code?
Black tie optional, cocktail attire
What do I wear to black tie optional/cocktail?
Guests have the option of wearing their most formal attire (think: an evening gown or tuxedo) but may also choose to wear a formal suit and tie or cocktail dress instead.
We do ask if you wear a strapless or low cut dress that you cover your shoulders while in the Church
Are kids invited?
We love your children, but due to space restrictions we cannot accommodate guests under age 18 on our wedding day. Enjoy a night being kid free.
Can I bring a date?
Unfortunately, due to space limitations, we simply can't have all of our lovely guests bring a guest of their own. Therefore, we regretfully ask our guests to please not bring a plus one, unless they are specifically named on the invitation. Thank you so much for understanding!
Is there parking near the wedding venue?
Yes. There is a pay to park parking garage connected to Villa Christina, but we recommend using Uber/Lyft as we plan to party.
Will there be a shuttle to and from the hotel?
No. St. Jude is 15 min from Villa Christina. You are responsible for your transportation between the two.
Will there be a time gap between the wedding ceremony and reception?
Yes. There will be a 45 min ceremony plus family pictures at the church to end by 3:30. Cocktail hour begins at 5pm. There are several restaurants and bars in the Dunwoody area and the Barrel Room at Villa Christina if you need to pass some time.
Are you allowed to take photos at our wedding?
We kindly ask you do NOT have your phone out at the ceremony. To be respectful of being in a church, we ask you put your phone on silent and put it away. We have hired a very good photographer and don't want interference from people's phones in our pictures.
When will the reception end? Will there be an after party?
The reception is scheduled to end with a send off at 10pm. For anyone that wants to continue the party we will be at the Barrel Room bar at Villa Christina.
