Wedding Mass Questions

What time should I arrive to the wedding mass?

The wedding mass will begin promptly at 3:00 p.m. so arriving ten minutes in advance is great. The ceremony is only for family due to capacity restrictions of the church.

How do I get to the wedding church? Will transportation be provided?

Unfortunately, transportation will not be provided. We encourage family and friends to uber to the area.

Will there be time after the mass and before the ceremony?

Yes, in fact, a good hour! If you’d like to venture through Old Town, Albuquerque, you should.

Reception Questions

What time should I arrive to the reception?

The reception cocktail hour will begin promptly at 5:30 p.m. and arriving between 5:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. is appropriate. Please know rush hour traffic in Albuquerque isn’t bad, but it will take you 35 minutes from the Northeast Heights to Old Town.

Will there be vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free food options?

Absolutely!

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

Sure, please do be respectful of the mass.

Is there parking available at the reception venue?
