FAQs

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Please try your hardest to not wear jeans (looking at you, Dad...). Business casual (i.e. khakis, sun dresses, button downs, etc.) will suffice.

Question

How far is the reception from the church?

Answer

The drive from the church to the reception is approximately 27 minutes long. Cell service is spotty, so printing out map directions might be a good idea.

Question

Oooh, there’s a dock! Can I leave my children unattended?

Answer

No! All children must be accounted for at all times. If a child would like to go on the dock, a life jacket must be worn in addition to adult supervision. There’s also a small play set on the grounds of the yacht club children are welcome to use.

Question

What is the parking situation at the yacht club?

Answer

The parking area is the large green field as you arrive to the yacht club, adjacent to the main clubhouse. There are no designated “spots,” but use common sense to give some space for the next row of vehicles to maneuver. Be sure to NOT park in the roped off area of the field, and to leave the boat ramp free and clear.
