We both wanted a coastal wedding with lots for friends and family to do. The Cincotta family has longstanding ties to nearby Sarasota, Florida. While researching venues in Sarasota we stopped for dinner at the Rusty Pelican and fell in love with the warm, hospitable staff and vibes!
At this time, Florida does not have state vaccine or mask mandates. Our cocktail hour and reception will both be indoors. Given the pandemic, we understand if you are not comfortable attending an indoor event or choose to wear a mask.
This is a gathering for all of our wedding guests at Anchor and Brine in downtown Tampa along the riverwalk to kick off the celebrations. We will provide drinks and light hor d'oeuvres from 7-10pm.
The ceremony will be held outside at the Rusty Pelican's Gazebo. In the event of rain, it will be moved indoors to the Grand Ballroom.
Please arrive at the Rusty Pelican Gazebo by 5:15pm as the ceremony will start promptly at 5:30pm.
Our wedding will be an Adult-Only event, and we hope you'll enjoy your night off from the kids. While we love your children, we regretfully cannot accommodate them at our venue due to capacity restrictions.
Please check your invite to confirm if you have a plus one. Your formal invitation will indicate who's included on our guest list.
The cocktail hour will take place immediately following the ceremony from 6-6:45pm in the Coral Room of the Rusty Pelican.
The dress code for the wedding is Cocktail attire. The average temperature for Tampa in November is in the mid-to-high 70s (fingers crossed). Warm weather suits/sport coats/cocktail dresses are all appropriate, weather permitting.
