Question

Where can I park near Saint Thomas of Villanova?

Answer

From Rt. 30, turn onto St. Thomas Way (across the street from the church). There are parking lots to the left and right (L3 and L2 on campus map). Ignore the signs that say "Permit Parking Only" as these are posted to keep students from parking in those lots. Park in either lot and then cross the Adams Bridge to walk to the church. Campus Map: https://www1.villanova.edu/content/dam/villanova/admission/campusmap.pdf Guest with Mobility Issues: Enter campus at the Springmill Road Gate (between Rt. 30/Lancaster Ave and Country Line Road). The driver will be directed to drop off the passenger on the left side of the church. If a ramp is needed to enter the church, continue driving through the plaza in front of the church. Park on the right side of the church near the ramp.

Question

Do you have any recommendations for the time between the Ceremony and Reception?

Answer

We'd recommend stopping at The Refectory! It's across the street from the church and about a five minute walk to get there. Alternatively, there are many places along Rt. 30 that you may pass on your way to Waynesborough. We'd recommend stopping in Wayne, Devon, or Berwyn. Please note, the drive from Saint Thomas of Villanova to Waynesborough Country Club is about 15 minutes.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

The dress code is black-tie optional. For women, floor-length dresses and gowns are preferred. Spring colors are welcomed! For men, a tuxedo, black suit or navy suit is preferred. Tuxedos are not required, but if you have one, it's a great time to break it out!

Question

Is transportation provided?

Answer

There will be shuttles running from Waynesborough Country Club to the Wayne Hotel at the end of the night. Shuttle rides will begin at 10pm and pick up guests through the conclusion of reception. And if you'd like to keep the party going... take a shuttle! Shuttles after the reception will also make a stop at the Great American Pub for the After Party.

Question

Can I bring my children?

Answer

While we love your little ones, we kindly request that our wedding is limited to immediate family children only. We thank you for your understanding and hope you can join us to celebrate our special day!
