Q + A

Where do I park at the church?

The cathedral has an attached parking lot that fits a lot of people. By any chance that it's full there is also street parking around it.

Is this a Catholic ceremony?

Yes it is a Catholic ceremony! However, it's only in English (no Latin) and there is no mass so it will not be a full hour long.

Where can I park by the reception (CityFlats)?

The couple has pre-paid for parking at the garage right next to the reception, Monroe Center Parking Garage. QR codes will be handed out for people to scan when entering the garage. 37 Ionia Ave NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49503

You are welcome to get there as early as 1:30pm. Doors will close at 2pm (Cathedral's rule) so please be on time.

No, but parking is pre-paid for. Or, it's a 20 minute walk or very short uber away!

What time does the reception start?

You are welcome to arrive starting at 3:30. Both appetizers and the bar will open at 4pm. We anticipate taking group photos after the ceremony so the time gap between the ceremony and reception should be short.

What time does the reception end?

11pm!
