We'd love to have our loved ones get dressed up for our big day. Dress code is formal attire only! Ladies can wear floor-length, tea-length, mid-formal dresses, or formal bottoms and tops. Ladies please refrain from wearing any white or cream colors close to white. Our day is for the Bride to shine at her brightest. Gentlemen can wear suits or tuxedos. We promise once you arrive at the venue for our big day you'll see the vision of this come to life. Please refrain from wearing jeans or casual wear.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate you a spot if you do NOT complete an RSVP. We will need to provide our vendors and the venue exact guest count by a certain date. While we will send out reminders, as well send out invitations early, please be sure to RSVP as soon as possible. Or please RSVP no later than February 1st, 2024.
We love our littles ones and are truly happy they could be part of our special day. We encourage you to take the night off as parents to enjoy your evening to the fullest if possible. However, we do understand if this is not an option. Kids are welcome by dedicated invitation only. Please be aware you are solely in charge of your children's oversight and behavior at our wedding. Please ensure all children do not interfere with major scheduled events. For example: Entrances, First Dances, & Ceremony time. We have invested countless hours and efforts to our wedding program, and would like our vendors to be able to capture the "in moment" opportunities on our day. We thank you for your understanding in this.
At this time, we are only able to accommodate the number of guests presented on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one or an extended party, the number of guests invited will appear on your invitation where you RSVP. If the plus one or additional guests invited can not make it, we unfortunately will not be accepting substitutions to those who have declined. We ask that you please respect our wishes as we are trying to keep our wedding as an intimate celebration filled with love, close friends, and family at this time. Thank you so much for understanding.
The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will all be held on-site at The Crystal Ballroom at Veranda. This is a indoor venue that features an outdoor setting for our cocktail hour. Cocktail hour will include drinks & hors d'oeuvres. This will follow into reception with dinner, dancing, and open bar.
Of course we would recommend uber or taxi for your assured safety in traveling. However, our venue has two designated parking lots available for your convenience. One directly across from the venue entrance, and the secondary after the residential parking lot to the right side of the venue. Please refrain from parking at the residential lot, as this is strictly community parking and active towing is being advised on that particular lot with the black overhead awning. PLEASE REFER TO THE PHOTO IN THE "GALLERY" SECTION TO VIEW AVAILABLE PARKING.
The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:30pm. Please arrive 15-30 minutes in advance giving you enough time to park, sign the guest book, and choose the best seats for your party. Please allow yourself enough travel time to not be delayed with traffic. If you arrive after 4:30pm, unfortunately we will not be able to allow entry until after the ceremony.
We are having an "unplugged ceremony" (no cameras or phones). The greatest gift you can give us is being fully present as we say "I do". We have hired professionals to capture this moment for us and we do promise to share our photos as soon as we receive them. After the cermony, feel free to take as many photos and videos as you'd like!
Your presence will surely be missed! We ask that you please respectfully decline and send back your RSVP. Or please make sure to contact Joseph Renna at 352.530.8710 or Ashley Burgos at 407.978.9029.
Our venue does not allow the carrying of your own alcoholic beverages. We kindly ask that you please refrain from bringing your own drinks as we have provided a bar for your enjoyment. As well, we want you to enjoy our special evening just as much as we will. However, with an open bar we ask that you do conduct yourself to your best behavior. The drinks are on us, the hangover is on you! Any reported behavior from venue staff may result in you and/or your party being asked to kindly exit the event.
