The attire for our wedding is Black Tie preferred. We ask that women wear a full length dress or gown and that men wear a tuxedo. Alternatively, women can wear a dark colored cocktail dress and men can wear a dark colored suit with a dark tie. All active duty military personnel are welcome to wear their dress uniforms.
In an effort to allow parents a night of carefree celebration with us, we ask that children do not attend the ceremony or reception. If you are having trouble setting up childcare in Richmond, please reach out to us.
Shuttle bus transportation will be provided from the Courtyard by Marriott Downtown Richmond (1320 E Cary Street) and The OMNI Hotel to St. Peter’s Pro-Cathedral for the ceremony. Following the conclusion of the ceremony, shuttles will be available to transport guests from the St. Peter’s Pro-Cathedral to The Historic Mankin Mansion. At the conclusion of the night, shuttles are available from the Mansion grounds back to the Courtyard by Marriott Downtown Richmond and The OMNI Hotel. Ubers, Lyfts, and other ride shares are widely available in Richmond at all wedding locations. A timeline of shuttle service is available on the Travel page.
St. Peter's Pro-Cathedral is approximately 0.5 Miles away from the Courtyard by Marriott Richmond Downtown (1320 E Cary Street) and is about a 15 minute walk. Guests staying at other lodging accommodations are encouraged to check the walking distance from their specific location to the cathedral. Guests are unable to walk to the celebration at The Historic Mankin Mansion.
Ample parking is available at both St. Peter's Pro-Cathedral (Ceremony) and The Historic Mankin Mansion (Celebration). The Cathedral has a small associated parking lot that is directly next to it and can be used for the duration of the ceremony. The Mansion has plenty of guest parking on the grounds. At the Mansion, cars can be left overnight if picked up by 09:30 AM the following morning. Guests are encouraged to take advantage of the provided transportation for all wedding day events and festivities.
We kindly ask that you turn off phones and cameras during the ceremony and enjoy our special moment with us! Feel free to take as many pictures as you wish during the celebration portion of our event! Professional photos from the event will be available at a later date!
