What is the appropriate dress code?
We kindly request Black Tie attire for all guests. For ladies, this may be a formal dress in the color of your choosing. For men, we suggest a black tuxedo or suit.
Do you recommend any particular transportation services to and from the ceremony?
We are providing transportation services to and from the Boston Park Plaza for most of our guests. There is only 1 shuttle time, and the busses will all be leaving the Boston Park Plaza no later than 1:15 PM. They will then take guests back to the Plaza from the Basilica after the ceremony.
***
If you do not want to take the shuttle or miss the departure time, there is parking located at the Basilica. The parking lot is located on St. Alphonsus Street. Please check our Accommodations + Transportation tab on our website to find a directional map to the parking lot at the Basilica. Uber and Lyft are additional travel options as well.
What should we do during the time in between the Nuptial Mass and Cocktail Hour?
There are several options we recommend doing in between the mass and cocktail hour! Since it is the weekend of Palm Sunday, the Basilica will have a 4:00 PM Palm Sunday mass following our wedding ceremony on Saturday. Guests are welcome to attend mass and meet us at cocktail hour. A few places we recommend grabbing a bite and a drink at are: the hotel bar at the Boston Park Plaza, Strega restaurant located in the lobby of the Boston Park Plaza, or Davio's Steakhouse. We are also located down the block from Newbury Street if you would like to walk around and find different places to stop in at.
