FAQs

Question

Will be transportation provided from the ceremony venue to the reception venue?

Answer

There will not be transportation provided from the ceremony venue to the reception venue. Please arrange for your own transportation. Ride share or car service is recommended. Carpooling is encouraged, as we expect guests may have extra room in their vehicles. The reception venue is about 15-20 minutes away from the ceremony venue, but please give yourself extra time in case of traffic during the holiday weekend. If you need help arranging transportation from the ceremony to the reception, please email us at PriscillaAndAdam2020@gmail.com and we'll be happy to help!

Question

Will there be Kosher food available at the reception?

Answer

Yes! If you would like to request a Kosher meal, please email us at least two weeks before the wedding at PriscillaAndAdam2020@gmail.com with the full name of each person who would like a Kosher meal and we will arrange that for you.

Question

Will there be vegetarian food options at the reception?

Answer

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes, the dress code is formal attire (i.e.: tuxedos, suits, long gowns, cocktail dresses, dress shoes, etc.) for both the ceremony and the reception. Modest dressing is encouraged for our religious ceremony.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive by 2:45 pm sharp. All guests must be seated before the ceremony can begin.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes! Free parking is available for the ceremony. Our Lady of Grace Church has a parking lot behind the church grounds, which is accessible via East 3rd or East 4th Streets. Valet parking will be provided for free for all of our guests at the reception. Just pull into the El Caribe parking lot and they will park your vehicle for you. If you wish to park on the street, please remember to obey all parking regulations.

Question

How long will our ceremony last?

Answer

We expect our ceremony to last approximately 60-90 minutes. It will include a full traditional Catholic Nuptial Mass, along with various Jewish wedding customs and traditions.

Question

I'm not Catholic. Can I still attend the ceremony?

Answer

Yes, of course! We hope all of our guests will attend our ceremony, since it is the most important part of our wedding day -- the moment when we make promises to each other in the eyes of God and in front of all our family and friends! Programs will be distributed by our ushers to all guests, so you can hopefully follow along and participate in the readings, hymns, and prayers. Of course, if you don't feel comfortable attending our ceremony for any reason, that's perfectly okay too!

Question

Will there be seating arrangements?

Answer

At the ceremony, there will be no seating arrangements for guests generally, but the first eight pews on each side of the church will be reserved for the bridal party and the couple's immediate family. Except for the reserved pews, guests may be seated on a first-come-first-serve basis at the church. At the cocktail hour, there will be no arranged seating. There will be arranged seating at the dinner reception to follow the cocktail hour. If you wish to sit with a certain group of people, please email us at PriscillaAndAdam2020@gmail.com at least two weeks before the wedding and we will do our best!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

If your invitation includes "and guest," then yes, you may bring a date. If you would like to bring a date but your invitation only includes your name, please email us at PriscillaAndAdam2020@gmail.com and we will try our best to accommodate!

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

For Priscilla's Bridal Shower, we have a registry of items we need for our new home, which can be found on this website. However, we would appreciate cash gifts for the actual wedding, which we will use for our honeymoon expenses and the downpayment of our future home.

Question

What are we supposed to do between the ceremony and the reception?

Answer

Relax, use the bathroom, eat a snack, take a nap, or whatever you want! After the ceremony, the couple will have a receiving line at the front of the church to greet all the guests. Then the couple, along with immediate family and the bridal party, will be taking photos before the reception. During this time, all other guests may enjoy the beautiful church grounds, including their large garden. There will also be hospitality (light refreshments) provided at the El Caribe for all guests beginning one hour before our cocktail reception, so you can head there early to have a quick snack!
