Q + A

Will there be parking at the Church?

Yes, there is a parking lot located at 478 W Eugenie St. for a first-come first-serve basis. There is also free street parking throughout the neighborhood (permits usually required after 5:30 pm).

Will there be transportation provided from The Drake to the Church?

No, there will not be transportation provided from The Drake to the Church but there is Church parking available for those who wish to drive. St. Michael's is located just 1.6 miles (7 - 15 minute drive) from The Drake, so Taxi, Lyft, Uber, or even walking are all great options instead!

Will there be parking at the Reception?

Yes, complimentary valet will be available at The Drake until 2am. Give the valet services our name (Grazioso) when parking.

What is the dress code?

Black Tie Optional. Guests are welcome to wear a classic tuxedo or floor-length gown, but a dark suit and tie or a sophisticated cocktail dress are also perfectly appropriate. We want everyone to feel comfortable while celebrating with us in style!

Are kids invited?

While we adore your little ones, unfortunately we can not accommodate children at our wedding. Please make it a date night. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

What should I do between the Ceremony and Reception?

With the Ceremony ending at 4:00 and Cocktail Hour starting at 5:30, there will be a 1.5 hour break between. We recommend stopping by a bar near the church, such as River Shannon or Corcoran’s, or heading to The Drake’s Hotel Bar, the Coq d'Or during this time.
