FAQs
Question
Where should I park?
Answer
Ceremony — Free parking is available behind the church. Reception — Parking is limited at our venue, so we kindly ask that you park across the street at the beach and avoid street parking.
Question
Are wedding and reception the same day?
Answer
Our wedding celebration will unfold over two special days: an intimate church ceremony on Friday, followed by our joyful reception on Saturday. This carefully planned timeline allows our families to comfortably prepare and ensures a seamless, memorable experience. The reception will be a lovingly crafted, DIY event organized by the bride's family, giving them ample time to create the perfect celebration.
Question
Can I take photos/share them on social media?
Answer
Ceremony: We'd love for you to be fully present and enjoy this meaningful moment with us. Our professional photographer will beautifully capture every detail, so we kindly ask that you refrain from taking personal photos or videos during the ceremony. Should our photographer become unavailable, we'll share any updates to our photography plan closer to the wedding date. Reception: Please do capture memories and celebrate with us! We ask that you refrain from posting photos of us or our children on social media or sharing them outside our guest list. Instead, we'd be delighted if you'd send any photos directly to us. Feel free to share photos of yourselves, and we'll be excited to share our professional wedding photos with you soon after. A Note on Privacy: We truly appreciate your respect for our privacy and our preference to share our day on our own terms. We kindly ask that photos not be shared with estranged family members, as we'd like to avoid any unnecessary conflict. Thank you for your understanding and for celebrating with us in the way that feels right for our family.

Question
Is there a schedule for reception?

Our reception is a relaxed celebration where two families come together in a beautiful waterfront setting.

We do ask that you be mindful of our neighbors and keep noise levels respectful. The evening will naturally wind down at 8:30 PM, allowing us all to end the night on a peaceful note. We also kindly remind everyone: please don't drink and drive.
