Wedding Policy Acknowledgment

We understand that it is our responsibility to maintain contact with the parish staff by following our Portfolio Timeline and any other communication needed. We understand that questions regarding our wedding from family members, friends, and consultants must be directed to us and not the parish staff. We understand that Lilies of any kind are not permitted in the Basilica due to the severe allergy complication they pose to our priests and visitors. We understand that no petals (real or artificial), rice, birdseed, bubbles, release of balloons, birds, etc. are allowed anywhere on the premises. We understand that children under six are not allowed in the wedding. We understand that alcohol is not allowed anywhere on the premises. We understand that during the photo session we and our guests must maintain a reverential quiet out of respect for those preparing themselves for the Sacrament of Reconciliation which begins at 3:30 p.m. We understand that the Basilica must be vacated no later than 3:30 p.m. regardless of whether or not our indoor photo session is finished. We have thoroughly read this website and agree to adhere to all the policies listed above as well as all other policies listed in the Basilica website.
