We would love to welcome you to the religious ceremony. Know that the ceremony does include a full Catholic Nuptial Mass typically lasting 1- 1 1/2 hours. Regardless of your faith's denomination, please feel free to join us. We will have plenty of programs to help you follow along in this likely new experience.

We can't wait to see you and you know we like to have a great time. Our celebration will take place at White Laurel Estate approximately 15 minutes away from Good Shepherd Catholic Church.

Look your best and strut your stuff! However be mindful, our ceremony is in a sanctuary and place of worship. We ask our guests to wear respectful attire; dresses at minimum should be at knee length and modest. Semi Formal to formal is a good call and safe bet. To be clear, we kindly request all guests avoid sweats, sneakers, jeans, and that women refrain from colors typically worn by brides such as: ivory, cream, or white.

Having three children of our own, we completely understand this question. Children are definitely allowed, however we will ALWAYS encourage parents to try to have a date; definitely feel free to use us as an excuse if you wish.

Assigned seats aren’t our style, feel free to sit anywhere that makes you smile.

There will be a limited open bar: beer, white wine, and signature drinks. We encourage our adult guests to bring cash to tip our amazing bartender, Maddie.

We know you’re excited, we are too. We hired someone wonderful, Jayla our photographer, who will capture all these moments so you can focus on celebrating with us during our ceremony. During the reception please capture as much as you'd like and feel free to share with us!

We are truly honored by your presence. Should you feel obliged, we will have a card box available at the reception and an online registry is posted for a tentative “honeymoon”. Once again, we thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for such consideration.

Both of our venues will have plenty of parking spaces to accommodate all of our guests. Good Shepherd Catholic Church will have plenty of clearly marked parking spots. At White Laurel Estate the staff will assist in directing traffic. Please avoid grassy areas to help keep this venue gorgeous!
