Question

When and Where is the Wedding?

Answer

We’ll be tying the knot on Friday, June 12th, 2025 (yes, a Friday wedding!) at St. Bartholomew's Anglican Church in Gustavia. We’d love for you to join us for both the ceremony and celebration that follows! Full details including times, locations, and other events can be found on our “Wedding Events” page.

Question

Where do I fly Into?

Answer

To get to St. Barths, you have a couple of options! Most guests fly into St. Maarten (SXM) and from there either catch a quick island hopper flight or take a ferry over to St. Barths, the ferry is usually the most budget-friendly option. You can also fly into San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU) and hop on a connecting flight directly to the island. Whichever way you choose to get there, we promise you the travel day will be worth it!

Question

Is this an indoor or outdoor event?

Answer

The ceremony will be held inside the church, though it’s an open-air space, so you’ll still get to enjoy the island breeze. The reception will take place outdoors, under the sun and stars (fingers crossed for sunshine!). We recommend dressing comfortably for warm weather and staying hydrated throughout the day, you’ll be dancing, mingling, and celebrating in true island style!

Question

What Time Should I Arrive?

Answer

The ceremony will begin promptly at 5:00 PM, but we kindly ask guests to arrive at least 15 minutes early to get settled and soak in the atmosphere before everything begins. Please note: due to the intimate size of the church, late arrivals won’t be able to enter once the ceremony starts and will need to wait outside until it concludes. We so appreciate your understanding and punctuality!

Question

Where Can I Park Upon Arrival?

Answer

St. Bartholomew’s Anglican Church is nestled right in the heart of Gustavia, where you’ll find plenty of free street parking throughout the area. Some spots may be a short walk away, so we recommend arriving with a little extra time to find parking and stroll over to the church without feeling rushed.

Question

When Should I RSVP By?

Answer

We kindly ask that you RSVP as soon as you're able so we can plan accordingly but no later than March 12th, 2026. We wish we could follow up with everyone individually, but due to venue requirements and planning timelines, we unfortunately won’t be able to accommodate late responses and will have to count non-responses as a “no.” We so appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate with those who can make it!

Question

Are Children Welcome?

Answer

Absolutely! If your child has been invited, they’ll be included in your RSVP guest count. We’re so excited to celebrate with all of our favorite people, big and small!

Question

Is there a dress code for the wedding?

Answer

Semi-formal! We are having a spring wedding and would love to see lots of pastel colors! Think spring/summer garden party - florals, pastels, ruffles. For women, we would appreciate if you kindly avoid wearing dark tones: ie black, brown, navy, maroon, etc as well as any whites. The bridesmaids will be wearing a periwinkle blue :) For more Inso for the girls/guys please visit our "Dress Code" page.

Question

Can I Take Photos During The Ceremony?

Answer

We kindly ask that you put away phones and cameras during the ceremony so everyone can be fully present with us in the moment. We’ve hired a professional photographer to capture everything beautifully, so you can sit back, relax, and just enjoy. Outside of the ceremony, absolutely! Feel free to snap photos and videos throughout the celebration we’d love to see the memories you capture.
