The Mayflower team will also assist with transitioning guests from Cocktail Hour in Palm Court into Dinner and Dancing in the State Ballroom.
Service providers are responsible for the setup, breakdown, and removal of their own equipment, décor, rentals, and other materials unless otherwise arranged.
DELIVERIES AND LOAD-IN
Specific vendor delivery, loading dock, unloading, and parking instructions are being confirmed with the Mayflower Hotel.
If your services require special loading, unloading, parking, freight elevator access, or other accommodations, please contact Renee in advance.
VENDOR MEALS

Current Vendor Meal Window: 7:15 PM – 7:50 PM
Please coordinate meal breaks around your contracted responsibilities and the master timeline so that coverage is maintained during key wedding-day moments.
CANDLES AND OPEN FLAME
Open flame must be contained within glass containers. Service providers bringing candles or other flame-based décor should ensure all items comply with this requirement.
INSURANCE AND COMPLIANCE
All service providers working at The Mayflower Hotel are required to maintain a Certificate of Insurance (COI).
Specific COI submission instructions and requirements are being confirmed with the hotel. Service providers are responsible for ensuring that their services, equipment, décor, and setup comply with all Mayflower Hotel requirements.
If you need to obtain coverage, two companies I commonly use are:
BREAKDOWN AND LOAD-OUT

CEREMONY COORDINATION
Father Isaac will take the lead on Cathedral and ceremony logistics. Renee will work closely with Father Isaac and assist with wedding-party coordination, the processional, guest arrival and seating, and other ceremony-day logistics as needed.

Another event will take place at the Cathedral earlier in the day. Father Isaac will prepare the Cathedral for Carrie and Jonathon’s wedding following the conclusion of that event. The space will be ready for wedding access beginning at 1:00 PM.
PRE-CEREMONY PHOTOS AND STAGING
The wedding party and immediate family are scheduled to arrive at approximately 1:30 PM for pre-ceremony photos.
Two side rooms inside the Cathedral will be used for wedding party staging before the processional. An additional downstairs conference/meeting room may also be available for staging.
Guest doors will open at 2:30 PM.
CEREMONY DÉCOR
No additional floral décor is currently planned for the Cathedral.
Flowers from the Cathedral’s earlier event are expected to remain in place for Carrie and Jonathon’s ceremony after Father Isaac removes the previous event’s event-specific décor.
Rose petals, rice, or other items may not be thrown or dropped inside the Cathedral.
POST-CEREMONY PHOTOS
The ceremony is expected to conclude at approximately 4:00 PM.
Post-ceremony photos will take place at the Cathedral from approximately 4:00 PM – 4:15 PM. Father Isaac has approved this photography time.
Confession begins at the Cathedral at 4:00 PM, so please be mindful of other Cathedral activities taking place during the post-ceremony photo period.
The couple and wedding party will depart for The Mayflower Hotel at approximately 4:15 PM.

Forecast and Inclement Weather
Wedding-day events will take place indoors at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle and The Mayflower Hotel. Weather is not expected to impact the ceremony, cocktail hour, or reception; however, it may affect transportation between venues and the planned outdoor sparkler exit.
The Mayflower Hotel and Cathedral are within walking distance, and the current plan is for the couple, wedding party, and applicable service providers to walk between locations. If weather conditions make walking impractical, rideshare or other vehicle transportation is recommended. Please monitor the forecast and plan accordingly for any equipment or personal items that may need to travel between venues.
A sparkler exit is currently planned for 10:30 PM outside The Mayflower Hotel. If weather conditions prevent the sparkler exit from taking place safely, an alternate end-of-night plan will be communicated to the service-provider team.
Any confirmed weather-related transportation, timeline, or exit updates will be communicated by email and added to this service-provider webpage.
