Full Catholic Mass??
Kate, on May 15, 2018 at 4:53 PM

Is a full Catholic mass too much? Both our families want us to have one and we are debating on it. What should I expect? I just don't want it to be too long. Thanks

Katie, on May 14, 2018 at 10:17 PM

Exclusive hire or non-exclusive venue hire?
Heather, on May 12, 2018 at 7:56 AM

A venue all to yourselves where you and your guests can roam freely OR A venue where you have selected rooms in which you want to use?

No first look, but possibly a "first touch"
SB, on May 11, 2018 at 10:22 AM

My FH and I have decided not to do a first look as we want the total shock of seeing each other in our attire. I had the idea of doing a "first touch" with something separating us so we can't see each...
