Q + A

What is the attire?

The attire is black tie optional. For men, tuxedos are encouraged, but a dark suit is also appropriate. For women, mid to long dresses or jumpsuits. P.S. Madeleine loves bright colors :)

Are guests and children invited to the wedding?

Your wedding invitation will specify the invited members of each household!

What should we do between the ceremony and cocktail hour?

The ceremony and reception are half a mile apart, with a number of coffee shops, bars, and restaurants in between. You can also spend time in the Westin lobby restaurant (320 RiverBar), which is next door to the venue, or check into the hotel.

Will there be a shuttle from the hotel to the reception venue?

Given the proximity of the church, reception venue, and hotel, there will not be a shuttle.

Is there parking at the venue?

There is parking available at Assumption church - please see the "Travel" page for details. Our reception venue has valet parking, as well as street parking on the surrounding streets.

Should I come ready to dance?

Duh.
