The ceremony will be held at Saint Clement Church (642 W Deming Place) at 3pm. We ask that you arrive a few minutes before the official ceremony start time to get settled before the processional.

We will move across the hall to the White City Ballroom for Dinner and Dancing at 7pm.

Unfortunately, due to limited capacity at our venue, we will only be able to accommodate those listed on your invitation. Thank you so much for understanding!
