We respectfully request an unplugged christening ceremony — meaning no phones, cameras, or devices during the rite of baptism. The greatest gift you can offer in that sacred moment is your undivided presence. Our professional photographers will be capturing every beautiful detail, and we promise to share those memories with you afterward. Thank you so much for honoring this request. 🕊️

Please check with us first before making arrangements. Due to venue capacity and carefully planned seating, attendance cannot be guaranteed without prior confirmation. We will do our very best to accommodate you — please don't hesitate to reach out!

We lovingly prepared this celebration for everyone to enjoy from start to finish. We humbly request that you stay with us until the program ends. Let's laugh together, take photos, share stories, and make beautiful memories — the kind that Callie will one day look back on with joy.
