Q + A

When and where is the reception?

The reception is at 963 Northfield Rd, Manakin-Sabot, VA 23103. The venue is down a long gravel drive. There will be signs to point you in the right direction. Guests with mobility concerns will have reserved parking at the top of the driveway, nearest the cabin. The venue is outdoors but under a tent. Feel free to head to the venue whenever you are ready after the ceremony. Food will be served between 4:00 and 4:30.

What will the ceremony be like?

The ceremony is a Catholic Nuptial Mass, celebrated in the old form of the liturgy usually called the "Traditional Latin Mass" - a handout will be provided to make it easier to follow along. Kneeling, while encouraged, is not required for guests with mobility concerns - feel free to respectfully sit during those periods. For guests with small children, the church does have a 'cry room' if needed. If you are not a practicing Catholic in good standing with the Church, refrain from going to receive communion.

Is there a dress code?

Semi-Formal. Members of the Armed Forces are encouraged to wear their dress uniform. We recommend bringing an extra layer in case it is slightly chilly (the Church can be slightly cold and who knows what the weather will do).

Can we take our own photos?

Outside of the ceremony, yes! Snap away!

Is there a hotel block for traveling guests?

Yes! We have a hotel block set up at the Best Western Plus Governor's Inn, only a 6 minute drive away from St. Joseph's. Please reserve your room by March 26th!
