WHERE ARE THE CEREMONY AND RECEPTION TAKING PLACE?
The wedding ceremony will be held inside St. Boniface Catholic Church in Edwardsville, IL. The cocktail hour and reception will move to the 6th floor of Windows on Washington in St. Louis, MO.
WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE?
The ceremony will begin at 2:00 pm. Please arrive at least 15-30 minutes prior to the ceremony to park and find your seat.
IS THERE A DRESS CODE?
We would love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day! We kindly request the pleasure of your company in semi-formal or formal attire. This can include floor-length, tea-length, or midi formal dresses for ladies. Formal wear for gentlemen may include a jacket and tie or traditional suit. This doesn’t mean that you have to rent a suit, just come in your Sunday best! :)
WHAT SHOULD I DO BETWEEN THE WEDDING AND RECEPTION?
As you may notice, there is some downtime between the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. During that time, we encourage you to make the most of your travels by exploring the area! We have provided our favorite local food, drinks, and sight-seeing recommendations on the 'Things to Do' page. You can also use this time to check into your hotel.
IS THERE PARKING AVAILABLE AT THE RECEPTION SITE?
Windows on Washington has a parking lot located just a block west of the venue. The parking lot is located at 17th and Lucas Ave. The address is 1701 Lucas Ave, St. Louis, MO 63103 with the entrance off of Lucas. Guests who park at the parking lot can hop on a complimentary shuttle to the front door of the venue. At the end of the night, guests can also take the shuttle back to the parking lot or to select downtown hotels. Please see the 'Hotels and Transportation' page for more information.
ARE CHILDREN INVITED?
We love your little ones - we really do! However, we have decided to keep our wedding and reception an adults-only event (the only exceptions being the children in our bridal party/immediate family). We encourage you to use this evening as a fun date night!
CAN I BRING A GUEST?
We are so excited to celebrate this day with our nearest and dearest! Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP. Thank you for understanding!
CAN I TAKE PICTURES DURING THE CEREMONY?
We are having an “unplugged” ceremony (no phones or cameras). The greatest gift you can give us is being fully present as we say “I do.” We have hired professionals to capture this moment for us, and we promise to share our photos as soon as we receive them. After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos/videos as you like and share them with us!
WHEN DO I RSVP BY?
Please RSVP by May 1, 2024. To RSVP, click the RSVP tab and type the name(s) listed on your envelope.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I CANNOT MAKE IT?
You will be dearly missed! If you cannot make it to the wedding, please RSVP "not attending" as soon as possible so that we can plan accordingly. Thank you!
WILL THERE BE AN OPEN BAR?
Drinks are on us, but the hangovers are on you! We will be having an open bar, so we better see you on the dance floor!
