FAQs

We’re so excited to celebrate with you! Below are answers to some common wedding weekend questions to help you plan. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us — we’re happy to help!
Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Think Sunday Best with a touch of fall magic! We’re dreaming of a cozy and romantic marsh-inspired palette — navy blues, dark and sage greens, rich browns, and a hint of gold sparkle. Dress to feel elegant, festive, and ready to dance the day away in the autumn glow!

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

For family members involved in photos, please plan to arrive at the church by 2:00 PM so we can capture all the special moments before the ceremony. All other guests are welcome to arrive by 3:15 PM to find your seats and get settled before the ceremony begins.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

For the ceremony at First Presbyterian Church in downtown Fernandina, parking is available along the streets and in nearby lots (pending the Paid Parking debacle!). We recommend arriving early so you don’t have to stress about finding a spot — the church doesn’t have a designated lot. For the reception, parking will be on the sand beneath the beautiful marsh trees. Riding together or carpooling is encouraged, and if you’d rather not worry about parking (or enjoying a drink or two), consider being dropped off and picked up — it’s an easy way to relax and fully enjoy the evening! We will be providing transportation for our guests at the Hampton Inn and Suites to and from the reception.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We love your little ones, and we completely understand that finding a sitter isn’t always easy! While we’d prefer to keep the ceremony and reception kid-free (except for our adorable bridal party kiddos), you’re welcome to bring your children if you can’t make other arrangements. Thank you for helping us create the day we’ve dreamed of — a little grown-up magic for everyone to enjoy!

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Honestly, having you there is the best gift we could ask for! If you’d like to give, check out our wedding registry with Target or here on Zola . We’d also love contributions toward our honeymoon adventures or our house update fund — anything that helps us make memories and build our home together!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

If your invitation includes a guest, we’d love for you to bring them! If not, we kindly ask that you plan to attend solo so we can accommodate everyone on our guest list. Thanks for helping us make the day special for all!
