FAQs

Question

What date should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by September 23rd, 2025. We appreciate your timely response in advance!

Question

What are the addresses of the wedding ceremony and reception venues?

Answer

Our wedding ceremony and reception will conveniently be held at the same location! The Lighthouse Cove Event Center at the Hyatt Place Dewey Beach (1301 Coastal Hwy, Dewey Beach, DE 19971). The ceremony will be held on the deck behind the hotel, overlooking the water.

Question

What's the easiest way to get to and from your wedding venue(s)?

Answer

Rideshare (Lyft / Uber) if staying in the nearby Rehoboth Beach area or walking if staying in the Dewey Beach area will likely be your best options.

Question

Is there parking available near your wedding venue(s)?

Answer

As November is considered off season for Dewey Beach, on-site hotel parking and surrounding local parking will be free.

Question

Will your wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Our ceremony will be outdoors on the deck, while the cocktail hour and reception will take place indoors. In the event of inclement weather, we do have the option to host the ceremony indoors and will make the decision prior to the event.

Question

Have you reserved blocks of rooms at one or more hotels?

Answer

We currently have a room block at the Hyatt Place Dewey Beach with a discounted rate from Nov. 21st to Nov. 25th. You can call +1-855-429-9565 with code G-LLKA or book online at https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/group-booking/ILGZD/G-LLKA We are also looking for a second block option as well and will update the website when possible!

Question

Will there be a shuttle to and/or from the hotel(s) for the wedding and/or prewedding events?

Answer

We will not plan to provide guest transportation as we anticipate most guests will be staying on-site, within walking distance, or within a <10-minute rideshare distance to the ceremony and reception site.

Question

What should I do if I don't make it into the room block?

Answer

If you miss the deadline to reserve a room in our block, reach out to the hotel and mention our wedding anyway—they may be able to accommodate you with our discount in a room outside of our block. If not, we would recommend considering nearby AirBnBs or other hotels / motels in Dewey Beach and Rehoboth Beach.

Question

What's the best airport to use?

Answer

The two closest airports are Philadelphia International Airport (~2 hours and 15 minutes) and Baltimore-Washington International Airport (~2 hours and 30 minutes).

Question

What's the dress code for your wedding?

Answer

Our dress code is semi-formal. Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses. We do welcome your bold and warm tones (e.g., reds, golds / yellows, and oranges)! The bridal party will be wearing burnt orange and navy blue combinations. If you are planning to wear stiletto or similarly-thin heels, please be careful on the ceremony deck as the heels may get caught between the wooden floorboards. Additionally, we would love to have you dance the night away at our reception. Borrowing a page from Peruvian weddings, please feel free to bring a pair of comfortable shoes like slip-on sneakers to switch into later on in the night!

Question

What is the weather and climate like in the area?

Answer

We expect temperatures to be between mid-40s and mid-50s. Please do plan to bring a suitable layer for the outdoor ceremony.

Question

Am I allowed to bring a plus-one?

Answer

We would like to keep the guests to those who know us well. The name of every guest invited to attend will be listed on the invitation and no additional guests can be accommodated.

Question

Am I allowed to bring my children?

Answer

We love your children, but are unfortunately balancing space and budget considerations. As such, we are only inviting children that have both parents and grandparents attending our wedding. We appreciate your understanding here.

Question

What type of food will be served at your wedding?

Answer

We will be serving hors d'oeuvres at cocktail hour followed by a sit-down dinner with food stations. There will be meat, seafood, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. Please indicate in your RSVP if you have any other dietary considerations, so that we can discuss with our caterer!

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

There will be an open bar for guests to enjoy throughout cocktail hour and the reception. We ask that you hydrate responsibly with water throughout to enjoy the full event!

Question

What's the wedding itinerary?

Answer

Please refer to the "Schedule" tab for all the details!

Question

Am I allowed to take photos at your wedding?

Answer

We would love for you to be wholly present for the ceremony and ask that you please refrain from taking any photos or videos during that time. There will be a photo booth for use during the reception and we will have a photographer documenting throughout!

Question

Are there any best practices guests should be aware of?

Answer

We kindly ask that you avoid wearing white due to its proximity to the bridal ivory and its association with funerals in Chinese culture. We do welcome your bold and warm tones (e.g., reds, golds / yellows, and oranges) which are more closely associated with good luck and prosperity! The bridal party will be wearing burnt orange and navy blue combinations.
