What is the suggested attire?
Suggested attire is cocktail dresses for the ladies, coat & tie for the men.
You may want a light sweater or jacket in case the church is cold.
How long will the ceremony last?
Our sacrament of marriage will be a full Catholic mass. It will last approximately one hour.
What time will dinner be served?
Hors d'oeuvres & beverages will be served immediately following the ceremony at 4:00 PM, during the social hour. Dinner will follow at approximately 5:00 pm.
What time will the bride and groom do their "send off"?
Desserts (cake cutting) & dancing will begin at 5:30ish.
The faux send off will be at approximately 7:15 PM.
Are my children invited?
We are excited to welcome little ones to our wedding! We both have very large families, and are limited on space availability at the venue. Because of these constraints, we've needed to extend invitations to relatives, and children of members of the bridal party first. If your children are invited, it will be noted on your invitation. We truly wish we could invite everyone's little ones, but sadly cannot. We appreciate your understanding.
What is the "post send off"?
Recognizing many guests have traveled long distances, and it's a rare occasion to visit with family & friends, we will continue the evening of celebrating until approximately 10:00 PM. Feel free to continue visiting with friends & relatives in the quiet of the court yard under the stars, or come into the ballroom and enjoy dancing to your favorite tunes, late night snacks and celebrating with the new Mr. & Mrs. Stephen Sadie. Bring your dancing shoes!
