Is transportation provided for the wedding day?

Transportation will not be provided on the wedding day. Most of our guests are local, and since we do not have a hotel block or a central location for pick-up and drop-off, guests will need to arrange their own transportation. There is ample parking at both venues.

How far is it from the ceremony venue to the reception venue?

The drive is about 15 minutes (unless you get stuck behind a tractor).

Are my kids invited?

We love your families and truly wish we could include everyone, but due to space and planning considerations, the invitation is the best guide. If the envelope is addressed to the ‘___ Family’ or includes your children’s names, they are absolutely invited! Otherwise, the invitation is meant just for the adults listed. Thank you so much for understanding, and we can’t wait to celebrate together!

Do I get a plus one?

Due to space and planning considerations, we’re only able to accommodate the guests whose names are listed on the invitation. If a guest’s name is included on your invitation, they are absolutely invited to join you. Otherwise, the invitation is intended just for the person named. Thank you so much for understanding.

Should I bring or mail my gift?

While gifts are much appreciated, they are not at all required. There will be a gift table at the reception, but mailing something from the registry is also super convenient—it already includes our shipping info.

Will the ceremony really take an hour?

Megan is Catholic, so the ceremony will be a full Mass. It should take about 45 minutes to an hour. A Catholic wedding ceremony is longer because it is, first and foremost, a sacrament, not just a celebration or a legal exchange of vows. The Church understands marriage as a sacred covenant in which the couple invites God to be an active presence in their life together. Because of this, the ceremony includes Scripture readings, prayers, and often a homily that reflects on God’s love and the meaning of marriage. These elements place the couple’s vows within the broader story of faith and remind everyone present that marriage is rooted in God’s grace, not only in personal commitment. When celebrated within a Mass, the ceremony also includes the Eucharist, the central act of Catholic worship, which naturally adds time but powerfully emphasizes that Christ is at the heart of the couple’s new life together. While longer than many non-religious ceremonies, a Catholic wedding is meant to be intentional, prayerful, and deeply meaningful, allowing time for the couple and the community to fully enter into the sacredness of the moment.
