Schedules and Itineraries
  • Spring '26 ceremonies

    Schedule and itineraries for our Spring '26 ceremonies will be confirmed closer to the time.

    Each event will consist of:

    • Registration, gowning, photography and pre‑ceremony reception
    • Ceremony

     

    When planning your arrival, please don't arrive at the venue before the time shown on your ticket. You can arrive at any time within the times specified on your confirmation email.

    If you want extra time for gowning, photography (and the pre‑ceremony reception), aim for the start; if you’re skipping the reception, please arrive no later than one hour after doors open – this will ensure you have enough time to complete registration, gowning and photography.
