Q + A

Are the ceremony & reception in the same place?

Yes both will take place at St. Clements Castle, Waterford side. The ceremony begins promptly at 5:00PM with a cocktail hour after.

Can I bring a plus one?

Due to limited capacity, we will only be able to accommodate those specifically listed out on your invitation and RSVP. If you received a plus one, it will be listed on your wedding invitation and will appear under your name when you RSVP through the website. We appreciate you understanding!

What is the wedding day timeline?

We will begin the ceremony at 5:00PM. Cocktail hour will begin at 5:30PM, and the reception will end at 10:30PM.

What time should I arrive?

The ceremony will begin promptly at 5:00 PM. Please arrive at least 15-20 minutes prior to the ceremony to give yourself plenty of time to find a seat.

When should I RSVP?

If you are able to RSVP as soon as you receive your wedding invitation, that would be extremely helpful! We ask that you RSVP before August 15th. After that, unfortunately, any unanswered invites will have to be marked as "not attending" due to our vendor's cut off dates.

Are kids welcome?

Although we love your little ones, we have decided to keep our wedding and reception an adults-only event. This rule excludes the little ones in our bridal party and a few little members of our immediate family. We hope you'll take this opportunity to enjoy a date night!

What should I wear?

We would love for our guests to get dressed up with us! In staying with our wedding theme, we kindly encourage our guests to dress in formal attire.

Will the wedding be outdoors?

Yes! The ceremony & cocktail hour will be outside. Please plan accordingly.

What if it rains?

In the event of inclement weather, our ceremony will be moved indoors.

is there parking at the venue?

Yes, there is free valet for all wedding guests on the day of the wedding. If you are using a driver service they will drop you off in the front.

Where are you registered?

Although your presence is the best gift we could ask for, we realize that some of you would like to know about a physical gift. Right here on our wedding website is the easiest way to access all of our registries in one place.
