Question
What time is the ceremony?
Answer

Question
What should I wear? Any specific colors?
Answer
So glad you asked! There are no specific colors we are mandating, however we politely encourage you to avoid wearing white or red (including shades of red such as pinks - excluding beige or dusty rose pinks) as those colors traditionally draw attention to the eye and we want to maintain focus on the bride and groom. Additionally, it may be cold that day so plan your outfit accordingly. Men, a suit and tie will be appropriate; suit jacket is up to you.
Question
What is the plan for cold weather?
Answer
Yes, January in Florida is a hit or miss with very cold weather, to pleasantly cold weather. We will have blankets available, and the mansion does have two fire places inside that may be turned on at the bride and groom's request (don't worry Maeghan gets cold easily so it will just depend). The mansion also requires a tent reservation that we may decide to use or not up to 7 days before the wedding depending on anticipated weather - the tent will have heaters inside, should we decide to go forward with the tent.
Question
What if I have a food allergy?
Answer
Great question!! Please let Maeghan or Aaron know ASAP about the specific allergy and make it known when you RSVP with your food selections so that we may mark your place card accordingly. Also if you require an epi pen, please bring it ...
Question
How many bathrooms are there at the mansion?
Answer
Another great question, so glad you asked! There are two bathrooms on site, one easily accessible from the dinner area which is up 3 or 4 small steps. The other is through Mr. Howey's office/library by the card table, easily accessible through the reception area.
Question
Where is the reception? What is the general sequence of events?
Answer
The reception will be taking place at the same venue as the ceremony. We will start with the ceremony outside when you first get to the venue, then as the bridal party takes photos, the rest of you will be ushered into the main hall for cocktail hour - enjoy our signature drinks and some snacks! After those photos are done, we will gather on the back patio of the mansion for dinner. After dinner we will move back inside to the main hall to dance the night away!
