What time should I arrive?

Please plan to arrive at Our Lady of Sorrows between 1:00 PM and 1:15 PM to allow time for parking and finding your seat. The ceremony will begin promptly at 1:30 PM.

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

We kindly ask that all phones and cameras be put away during our ceremony. We’ve hired an amazing photographer to capture this special moment, and we’d love for you to be fully present with us. Once the ceremony has concluded, please feel free to take any photos or videos you would like!

Are the ceremony and the reception in the same place?

No! The ceremony is at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church in South City and the reception is at 612North Downtown.

Are children invited?

As much as we love your little ones, the wedding is exclusively for adults, with the exception of immediate family who are part of our wedding party.

Can I bring a plus one?

We are only able to accommodate those formally invited. If you received a plus one, it will be addressed on your invitation and RSVP section of the website.

Is there a dress code?

We are requesting formal attire for the evening. For men, this includes suits or dress pants with a button-down shirt and a tie or bow tie. For women, floor-length gowns, elegant cocktail dresses, or dressy jumpsuits are all appropriate. Please note that the bridesmaids will be wearing light pink.

Is parking available at both the church and the venue?

Our Lady of Sorrows offers both street parking and a large lot behind the church. 612North provides limited paid parking directly across from the venue for $10. It is a gated city parking lot which has an on-site security guard; however, please note that overnight parking is not requested at 612.
