Since the event is being held at a church, please dress formally and appropriately, as you would for a service. We encourage you to be comfortable while still maintaining a respectful appearance. Here are a few examples of attire that would be suitable:

The church has a parking lot available for our event. When you arrive, you’ll see a driveway that leads to the parking area behind the church. There are several spots in the lot, but if it fills up, there is also ample street parking nearby. We recommend arriving a little early to ensure a convenient spot, but rest assured there will be plenty of options!

Important Reminder: This is an Alcohol-Free Event. As a courtesy to the church and in respect of their policies, we ask that no personal alcohol be brought into the church building. We will be providing beverages to enjoy during the event. Thank you for helping us honor the church's request and for making this a positive experience for everyone!

We want to ensure we have enough space and accommodations for all attendees, so please kindly respect the guest guidelines outlined in your invitation. The address on the envelope will list the guests that are invited. (either another name or "+1" should be on the label)

The ceremony will begin promptly at 3:00 PM. To ensure everyone has enough time to get settled and enjoy some last-minute conversations, we encourage you to arrive a little early. This will give you the chance to find your seats and get comfortable before the bride walks down the aisle!

Dinner starts at 5:00 PM in the basement of the church. The reception will go no later than 11:00 PM. Feel free to stay as long as you would like and enjoy the festivities—we are so happy to have you join us for this special day! A church service is planned for the following morning so clean up will promptly begin when the festivities come to an end.

There will be around an hour of wait time between the ceremony and the reception. There will be snacks provided to hold the guests over before dinner. This will be a time for catching up with family and friends while the bride and groom sneak away for some last minute pictures.

No Paparazzi, Please! Our photographer will be capturing beautiful moments during the ceremony, and we kindly ask that you refrain from taking photos during this time to avoid interfering with their work. We want to ensure the best possible photos for everyone to enjoy! Feel free to take as many photos as you'd like at other times during the day, and thank you for respecting this request!

The reception will be held in the basement of the church. Once the ceremony concludes, ushers will dismiss you from the pews. From there, simply follow the stairs down to the basement where you'll find tables set up and ready for you to enjoy!

The front entrance of the church is fully accessible. If needed, you can have your driver drop you off at the top entrance, and they can park the car for you. After the ceremony, there is an elevator available to take guests down to the basement for the reception. We want to make sure everyone is comfortable and has a smooth experience, so please don't hesitate to ask if you need any assistance!
