The Wedding Mass starts at 12pm at St. Patrick's Church. The Mass will usually last around an hour.
The Reception begins at 2pm and will go on until Midnight with last orders at 11:45pm. Of course, you are free to leave whenever you want!
The Church will be open from early morning, so please feel free to arrive early. It is a beautiful place to spend some peaceful time. Guests should aim to arrive by 11.45am at the latest so that the Mass can begin promptly.
Please be aware that there may be events on or road closures, as Soho is a very busy area, so please factor this in to any of your travel plans.

We are planning to serve a welcome drink, wines with the meal followed by bar options for the remainder of the night. You can plan on enjoying drinks on us during our wedding!
Parking is very limited near the Church and the Venue so we encourage you to use public transport.
We have addressed this on our postal invites and on the RSVP Form. If you are still not sure, please get in touch with one of us.

Life is about choices.
Yes! We would encourage and welcome everyone to come to St. Patrick's Church to attend our Wedding Mass whatever your religious beliefs. Our faith is central to our lives and we wish you to be part of that aspect of our wedding.
We would only ask that if you are not Catholic, or a practising Catholic, that out of respect for our beliefs, you refrain from receiving communion - which is a sign of unity with the Church. It will be clear when this happens during the Mass, so don't worry if you are unsure what this means. If you are not Catholic, and would like to, you can receive a blessing from the Priest. You can do this by coming forward for communion by crossing your arms over your chest. Again, it will be made clear when this all happens during the Mass.
We would ask you to avoid taking in hot beverages into the Church - water is fine - or food as well as using your phone, including to take photographs, during the Mass. There will be a photographer on hand, to take pictures at appropriate moments which we will of course, share with you all.
Sure, get in touch by email and we will assign you a job.
Yes, but we cannot guarrantee they will be open; however, there are Toilets in Starbucks right next to the Church.
Because of several large-scale marches taking place in Central London on our wedding day (May 16th), road travel between Soho and our reception venue may be restricted.
For the Mass at 12:00: You may wish to arrive by Tube via the Elizabeth or Northern Lines to Tottenham Court Road. There is a planned closure on the Central Line between Marble Arch and Leytonstone all day on May 16
For the Reception at 14:00: We strongly advise all guests to use the Northern Line from Tottenham Court Road to Kennington. Taxis may get stuck in road closures around Trafalgar Square and the bridges. Kennington is a short tube ride from Tottenham Court Road Station. From the Tube station you can take a Taxi to the Reception venue.
You may wish to consider adding an extra thirty minutes to your journey time to take account of any delays.
