Where is the room block and how to capture the rate?
The room block is at the Adolphus Hotel. To secure the reduced rate, call the Adolphus Hotel (844) 236-8187 directly and say you are attending Joe and Halley's wedding. You can also book with this link: https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1701355272375&key=GRP&app=resvlink. If you need a room and there are no rooms left, let us know.
When and where is the rosary?
We will say a group rosary at 2:30 pm on Friday, August 23rd. We invite you to join us in room 1031 at the Adolphus Hotel. We will provide rosaries for everyone. Because Halley and Joe have a special devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, we will be offering the rosary for their upcoming marriage. If you are unable to attend, we humbly ask that you say a rosary in communion with us.
How should I get to the church and venue?
We will provide two buses to take guests from the Adolphus Hotel to the church and back. Each bus holds 49 people and is available on a first come, first served basis. Buses will begin loading in front of the hotel at 5:45 and will leave at 5:55. If you drive, there is ample parking at the church in the lot and on the street. The Adolphus only has valet parking. If you prefer to Uber, there are always plenty of rides available at any given time.
What is the dress code?
Black tie optional. Men have the option to wear a tuxedo, but it is not required. A suit is equally appropriate. Women can wear long dresses or gowns. We kindly ask our guests to wear modest attire out of respect for the church.
How early should I arrive to the church?
Guests can arrive as early as 6:00 PM, but we kindly ask all guests arrive no later than 6:20 PM.
What time can we expect to eat?
We will serve heavy appetizers and drinks immediately upon your arrival to the cocktail hour from 7:30 to 8:30 PM. Dinner will be served promptly at 8:30 PM.
I want to dance! Is there an after party?
Yes! The reception ends at 11 pm, but the DJ will stay and the bar will remain open until midnight. The bride and groom won't be there, but the mother of the bride will be.
What airport should we fly into?
DFW and DAL are both great options. Many carriers fly out of both, but American solely flies in and out of DFW while Southwest solely flies in and out of DAL. DAL is ~15 minutes to the Adolphus, and DFW is ~30 minutes.
I don't want to leave the hotel because it'll be too hot. What can I do until your wedding?
I don't blame you. The Adolphus has quite a few options - they have a barber (you can get your shoes shined here, too), spa, pool, a few bars, a coffee shop, a small boutique, a fitness center, two restaurants, and high tea. You can reserve a spot in their French Room (which is stunning) on their website. They have a children's option as well so it's family friendly.
