What is the Dress Code?
We kindly request a Formal Dress Code. This would mean midi to long dresses, very formal cocktail dresses, or a dressy pantsuit for the women and suits and ties for the men.
Can I bring a plus one or children?
We are thrilled to be celebrating with so many loved ones, however, due to space and planning considerations, we kindly ask that only the guests named on the invitation join us on our special day. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to celebrating with you!
Will the wedding be indoors?

Weather permitting, if you would like to explore Fordham's campus after the ceremony you are welcome to do so before heading to the Reception Venue.
