We are having a New Orleans-style cocktail reception. These receptions are typically not seated dinners, but include passed items at the start of the reception followed by food stations that remain open for a few hours. There's emphasis on lots of food options & beverages, & a social atmosphere that allows everyone to move freely about the reception space. The bride & groom have their first dance near the beginning of the reception, opening the dance floor immediately for everyone's enjoyment & to take full advantage of our hired entertainment.

We love your kids, but all wedding-weekend events are adults-only. Thanks for understanding!

Friday night Welcome Party: dressy casual. For the ladies, think sundress vibes (no jeans, please!), but flowy maxi dresses, midi/mini dresses, dressy jumpsuits, etc. also fit the vibe! For guys, slacks or chinos with a button-down or polo. Aim for polished yet relaxed :) Saturday ceremony & reception: cocktail attire. For ladies, think cocktail dresses, elegant jumpsuits, or dressy separates (with stylish heels or dressy flats!). Please dress for a church ceremony.

Yes. We recommend using our reserved hotel block at the JW Marriott Houston Downtown as it's the same place as the reception & right in the heart of downtown! Head to the 'Travel' tab for more details. April 15th is the last day you can book using our discount room block code.

Our 'Hotel & Travel' tab has airport transportation tips & tricks whether you're flying into Bush or Hobby!

BUS: We have a 30-person bus reserved to take guests to & from the ceremony. It will depart from the front of the hotel starting at 1:35pm. WALKING: It is an 11-minute walk between the JW Marriott and the ceremony. UBER: You can also take a short Uber or Lyft to/from the ceremony.

There is metered parking on the streets around the Church. We recommend parking at the reception venue (JW Marriott hotel) and walking, Ubering, or using the bus to get to/from the ceremony. The JW Marriott has *discounted* event valet parking for the day of the wedding for $23 and overnight parking for $36/night. To receive the discounted valet, make sure to pick up the sticker at the front desk & mention our event.

Due to the early Catholic mass times, there will be a short gap between the ceremony & cocktail hour. As downtown Houston is full of many bars, restaurants, and activities, we recommend heading to a local spot nearby or taking a rest back at the JW Marriott hotel if that's where you are staying! Head to the "restaurants & bars" and "things to do" tabs for our local recommendations!
