The Wedding of Celia Nicholson & Matthew Palmer
7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
147 NW 19th Ave, Portland, OR 97209
Semi-Formal: Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses. The most important thing, though, is your presence!
We are so excited for you to join us for our evening wedding at the historic Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in downtown Portland. This is the church Celia attends, and the perfect location for Celia and Matt to begin their married life together. We cannot wait to share the love and radical hospitality practiced by Trinity with you.

711 NE Dekum St, Portland, OR 97211
Semi-Formal: Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses. The most important thing, though, is your presence!
Join our late night reception for an endless cocktail hour of drinks and heavy hors d'oeuvres! The venue is both indoor and outdoor, and we anticipate a balmy summer evening (chilly for the Floridians!). Enjoy live music, a fire pit, great conversation, and maybe even some impromptu dancing. We cannot wait to celebrate with everyone!

FAQs
Question
When do I need to RSVP by?
Answer
July 1, 2025. We forgot to include this date on our wedding invitations, so please be sure to RSVP by the date above.
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
Flying solo at a wedding is only fun if it's by choice, so we are prioritizing making space for your spouse, partner, or plus-one! This will be indicated on your invitation, and we ask that you only RSVP for the number of people specifically listed on the invitation.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
This is an adults-only soiree.
Question
Do you have any hotel recommendations?
Answer
We will, but as of right now, this is not something we have researched yet. Stay tuned!
Question
Are you registered? Where?
Answer
Thanks for asking! Being well into adulthood, we are really well set on household goods and we are so lucky not to need anything to start our lives together! All the same, we know some folks show their love through gift giving, so, only if you feel inclined, we have a small registry, and we are also going to be setting up a stock the bar section and a honeymoon fund. Honestly though, the only gift we truly want is to celebrate with you, however that looks for you.
Question
Should I Uber or rent a car?
Answer
We recommend taking Uber/Lyft/public transit for ease of planning and cost-effectiveness. If you decide to rent a car, please be aware that you should not leave ANYTHING visible in the car when you park. Empty cars are safe from break-ins, but even a phone charger may invite curiosity from passersby.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
Street parking in Portland is not too crazy and generally not consistently enforced. There is a paid lot across from the church where the ceremony will be, and parking is free after 7:00pm. DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING VISIBLE IN YOUR CAR. The reception is a restaurant in a neighborhood area with easy street parking. We do anticipate that most of our guests are coming in from out of town, and highly recommend Uber/Lyft/public transit/etc. for getting around. Our only rule is that you practice safe driving and arrange for a designated driver or Uber if you plan to drink!
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Semi-Formal: Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses. The most important thing, though, is your presence!
