Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we love children (especially yours!), our venue does not have enough space to accommodate children. Thank you for your understanding!

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Yes! We blocked a Marriott less than a mile from the ceremony and near a lot of great restaurant spots for you to visit - check out our Things to Do page for more details on the area!

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

We want to be as accommodating as we can be to all our guests. If you have a special request of any kind, food or otherwise, please contact either the bride or groom ASAP to discuss. The more time we have to honor your special request, the more likely it can be done.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes to both locations. There is a free parking lot behind St. Cecilia and a free guarded parking lot in front of Bell Event Center.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony? The reception?

Answer

There will not be transportation provided to or from the ceremony. St. Cecilia is ~2 miles from the hotel with plenty of free parking behind it and plenty of cool establishments to check out after (see Things To Do for more details). The reception will be held at The Bell Event Center, with a free parking lot in front. We will also have a free shuttle from the hotels to the Bell Event Center. Pick-up will begin at ~5:30pm, with the last shuttle picking up at ~6:45pm for the cocktail hour that begins at 6pm. The shuttle will also be available to take from The Bell Event Center to the hotels at the conclusion of the reception celebration starting at 10pm, with the last shuttle making a pit stop at the reception “after party” at Tokyo Kitty before finishing its route at the hotels.
