Coastal casual, whatever you feel most comfortable in!
The future Mr. & Mrs. will be kicking off the weekend at the Surf City Hotel, and we’d love for anyone who’s around to join! This is a come-and-go, as-you-please event with a cash bar—just a relaxed and fun way to start off this special weekend together. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
5:30 pm - 11:00 pm
For our coastal wedding, we ask guests to embrace a "coastal formal" dress code—elegant yet relaxed, perfect for a waterfront celebration. We want everyone to feel stylish and comfortable while enjoying this special day by the water!
Women: Think light, flowing dresses in soft, beachy tones, neutrals (not white), or whatever color you are comfortable in. A gown, or below the knee dress in breathable fabrics is ideal. Pair with sandals, wedges, or dressy heels. Men: Opt for a suit or dress pants with a button-up shirt and jacket. Loafers or dress shoes are perfect, and ties are optional.

The celebration doesn’t stop after the reception! Join us for a continued open bar and late-night snacks at the after-party on site at Mallard Island Estate! Shuttles will be available at the end of the reception (11:00) and again at the conclusion of the after-party to make getting around easy and stress-free. We can’t wait to keep celebrating with you!
