Note about Mission Playhouse Parking

New Info: There is a dance show taking place at the playhouse starting at 7pm on April 12. To avoid being charged $15 to park there, please park before 5pm. We were advised, the city starts to charge 2 hours prior to showtimes. This should not be an issue, as our cocktail hour begins at 4:30pm. Otherwise, there are the additional free parking lots listed above. Thank you!

Can I leave my car in the church parking lot?

Unfortunately, no. Please be advised that cars can't be left in the church parking lot. The church has 5pm and 7pm masses after our wedding and the spaces are needed for mass goers. Please park at the Mission Playhouse or additional lots provided above. Thank you!

How long is the wedding ceremony?

We are having a Catholic wedding ceremony. The ceremony will be approximately 1 hour.

How far is the venue from the church?

The reception will be outdoors. There will be heat lamps scattered throughout the reception area. Please be advised, tables and seating will be on grass. However, there will be a dance floor.

Where is cocktail hour located?

*New Info* Cocktail hour will be held outside to the right of Mission Playhouse. Enter through the gate near the front side of the Padillo Room.

Where will dinner be served & enjoyed?

Dinner will be served buffet style. Guests will dine alfresco in Grapevine Park at Grapevine Arbor.

Dressy, formal attire.

Are there nice picture spots?

We think so! Please enjoy the beautiful, Spanish style architecture of the historic buildings at both the ceremony and reception sites, including gates, archways, garden areas, and fountains, etc.

Is there a gift registry?

Yes. Although Mike and Laura greatly appreciate any gifts given, gift cards or monetary gifts are also welcomed. Mike and Laura will be house hunting after the wedding and in the meantime, this option may be easier. <3
