FAQs
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
We love your kiddos, but we respectfully request no children at the wedding, allowing all of our guests to enjoy an adults-only event.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
The attire for the Welcome Party will be Pool Party Chic - think bold, bright colors and springtime dresses/suits (but dress accordingly should you wish to swim). For the Wedding, Black Tie Formal attire is requested. Gentlemen should wear formal suits or tuxedos, while ladies are asked to wear elegant evening gowns. Please see the Schedule of Events page for links to our Pinterest boards for attire recommendations and inspiration.
Question
Will there be alcohol?
Answer
Yes! Alcohol will be available at all events. The Welcome Party will feature a cash bar at the hotel’s bar by the pool. During the Wedding we will have an open bar for all of our guests to enjoy complimentary drinks throughout the event.
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
We are unable to accommodate additional guests due to venue capacity. Thank you for your understanding.
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
The Villa gates close at 2:20pm, and the ceremony will start promptly at half past two o'clock in the afternoon. Please arrive no later than two o'clock to get settled.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
There is very limited parking at Villa del Sol d’Oro. We highly encourage using a ridesharing service to enjoy the night!
Question
Can I take pictures during the ceremony?
Answer
Please feel free to take as many photos as you like throughout our wedding celebration, but note that we have hired an incredible photographer (also named Claire) to capture the event. Preferably, no phones will be in our ceremony photos, but the bride loves pictures, so if you do take some during the ceremony, make them good! There will be a QR code for a shared album at your reception seat that will allow you to upload every photo you take throughout the evening. We’d love to see our special day through your eyes!
Question
Things to Note.
Answer
Please turn your phone on silent during the celebration. Incoming calls, texts, or emails will interrupt the day. Please do not wear jeans, shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, or flip flops. Ladies, please do not wear white, cream, or similar colors.
