FAQs
Question
Where is it?
Answer
We are holding the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at the Lake Nona Wave Hotel, just off 417 in Orlando, FL. The hotel is located about a 15 minute drive from the Orlando International Airport (MCO), 30 minutes from Walt Disney World, or 30 minutes from Universal Orlando.
Question
When is it?
Answer
April 19, 2026 A timeline of our big day’s events will be determined at a later date.
Question
Can I take photos?
Answer
During the ceremony, we ask that all phones, cameras, and any other photo-taking devices be kept away. We are hiring professionals to take high-quality photos so you can be present, enjoying the moment with your own eyes and not through the lens of a camera. Please be respectful of us and our photography team during this brief portion of our day. During the reception, however, you can take as many photos as you want!
Question
What’s the menu, and will you be able to accommodate my dietary needs?
Answer
A plated dinner will be served, with the menu to be determined a few months prior. Please keep an eye on your email inbox, as we’ll be sending out communications closer to our date to confirm your entree choice. Until then, please notate any allergies/dietary restrictions when you RSVP so we can let our catering team know during menu development.
Question
Do you have any hotel recommendations?
Answer
We will be offering a discounted room block at the Lake Nona Wave Hotel so you can conveniently stay onsite. If you’re seeking a more budget-conscious option, there is a Residence Inn as well as a Courtyard Marriott within walking distance of the venue. There is also an Aloft a short drive away. If you are looking to include a visit to the Orlando attractions, there are lots of great hotel options near the Walt Disney World Resort and Universal Orlando.
Question
I'm staying nearby - what time should I leave my hotel?
Answer
There are many hotels in the Orlando area, so this answer depends heavily on where you decide to stay! If you are near the Universal Orlando Resort or Walt Disney World, plan to leave at least 45 minutes to arrive on time, as traffic can be heavy starting at about 3pm in the direction of the hotel. We suggest checking Waze for the best time to leave from your hotel.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
Lake Nona Wave Hotel provides complimentary day parking in a parking garage across the street from the venue. Valet parking is also available for a fee.
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
If a plus one has been included on your RSVP, yes. We’ve crafted our guest list with intentionality to include as many loved ones as possible.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
We have invited children, yes. However, if you prefer to have a parents’ night out, we encourage you to do so!
Question
Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?
Answer
We look forward to hosting at least one other event over the weekend to give us more time to mix and mingle with our guests and thank you all for being present in our lives. Please make sure we have your email address so we can communicate all the necessary details to you
Question
I don't see a registry. Are you registered for gifts anywhere?
Answer
No, we are not creating a wedding registry. We ask that no gifts are given, instead please make a donation in our names to one of our favorite charities or contribute to our honeymoon fund!
