FAQs

Question

Where are the ceremony and reception being held?

Answer

The ceremony is being held at St Patrick's Basilica, Fremantle. The reception is being held at Fraser's Restaurant, Kings Park. Please see the ‘Schedule’ tab for more info

Question

Are the ceremony and reception indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Both venues are indoors! Wooo! We are expecting the day to be a fine, clear day on the first day of summer, but not a scorcher... fingers crossed.

Question

What is the best mode of transport on the day?

Answer

We recommend driving to and from each of the venues. There are paid parking lots and spaces around the church/ceremony but would require some walking a short distance. We would recommend carpooling if that is possible. More details on travel and parking are available on the 'Travel' tab. The reception has ample free parking at the venue. If you are planning on drinking, please organize a taxi/uber or a designated driver to get you home. We want you to enjoy your night as safely as possible please!

Question

What should I wear? What is the dress code?

Answer

The most asked question of all! The dress code is formal so think formal dresses, suit and tie, the full shebang! We are not too fussed about colours or colour schemes, we just ask for lots of fun and happy colours. Obviously, please don't wear all white... that's common sense. The bride squad will be equipped with red wine to 'fix' anyone who decides to do this hahaha. And one itty bitty tiny request... if you know the bride well... you know there is one particular colour she can't stand... purple! We just ask that you try your very best to avoid wearing all purple. Literally any other colour is absolutely fine. If you are still unsure, please see the 'Dress Code Inspo' tab for some dress code inspo. Thank you for respecting our choices for our special day!

Question

Do you have a registery?

Answer

There is a registry attached to this website with David Jones. You are able to access the registry via the online link or in store. We are very grateful for any gifts! Our registry is there for you if you are unsure of what to get us but please don't feel pressured to use it.

Question

Can I bring a plus one? Are my children invited?

Answer

We are holding an open ceremony so everyone is welcome. As it is being held in a Catholic church, we ask that you please respect church etiquette. Children are welcome to come to the ceremony, please just prepare them before the day so they understand where they are going. Our reception is by invitation only. As much as we would love to have everybody there, only those listed on the invite will have a seat allocated at the reception. This reception is an adult-only event with the exception of the immediate family. If your child is invited to our reception, please make sure you look after them. We would appreciate if the formalities of the night (first dance, speeches, etc) are not interrupted by children running around. It is completely up to you if you would like our reception to be a family night or a night out for mum and dad. We know this is common sense, we just don't want little fingers getting into the cake prematurely 🤭.

Question

What do I do between the ceremony and the reception?

Answer

There are lots of things to do! Grab a snack or a drink, roam around Fremantle, or if all else fails just head home for a bit if it’s not out the way. Please see the 'Things to do' tab for suggestions if you get stuck.

Question

Will there be food and drink at the reception?

Answer

The reception is a full sit-down meal. Entree, main, dessert and cake! We also have a bar package from 6-11 pm. There is also a cash bar if guests want to indulge in more complex beverages. There are children's meals for those between the ages of 12 and 2 years. There will be no meal provided for children under the age of 2 years. If you have any dietary requirements please inform the bride and groom asap so this can be arranged for you.

Question

Should I bring my gift on the day?

Answer

For cards/envelopes - the Bride and Groom will personally come around to each table on the night to accept these gifts. For larger gifts - We would love to organise a time to catch up with everyone individually after the wedding if you have a large gift for us, as we would hate for it to go missing on the day!

Question

What is the itinerary for the day?

Answer

Please see the 'Schedule' tab for the full run down of the day.

Question

What time should I arrive to the ceremony and reception?

Answer

We ask that you arrive 30-45 minutes early to the ceremony to allow everyone to get settled in the church before the bride arrives. We don't want people walking into the church as the Bride is walking down the aisle. If you are late, please wait 10 minutes after the start of the ceremony before walking in to ensure you don't interrupt the mass... or the Bride's entrance. For those coming to the reception, please arrive 30-45 minutes early to enjoy a pre-reception snack and get seated at the venue.

Question

Can I take/post photos?

Answer

We ask for our Ceremony to be an UNPLUGGED ceremony, meaning we ask that no one is to have their phone out during the ceremony at any time. We have a professional photographer and videographer capturing our day for us, so we ask that you take in and watch this moment with your eyes and not a screen. We ask that no one is to post about our wedding day on the day. please refrain from doing so until the bride and groom have done so themselves. Thank you! Each table at the reception will have a card with a QR code, please scan this with your phone camera to capture your moments throughout the night and it can be shared with the couple instantly! There's even a fun game of Bingo for you to capture!
