The ceremony will begin promptly at 2 PM. We ask that guests arrive by 1:45 PM.

Is there parking available at the church and reception venue?

Both the church and reception venue have ample free on-site parking available.

Is any part of the wedding outdoors?

Depending on the weather, we plan to have the cocktail hour on the Rosecliff lawn. The ceremony and reception will be indoors.

I see there's a time gap between the ceremony and the reception. What should I do to occupy my time during this gap?
