FAQs

Question

What should you wear?

Answer

For the welcome dinner, beach casual is fine - linen shirts, sun dresses, etc. For the ceremony and reception, beach formal or semi-formal attire will be appropriate. For the bon voyage brunch, we realize people will be leaving shortly so your travel clothes are fine! Florida should be warm (average 77 degrees during this time of year), so color and light fabrics probably will be the most comfortable.

Question

Should you rent a car?

Answer

It's really up to you. If you are flying into Sarasota airport, Ubers, taxis, and car services are available and the ride to Sarasota/Longboat Key takes about 15 minutes to Sarasota, and another 10-15 to Longboat Key, depending on where you are staying. If you are comfortable with Ubers/car services, then you will be fine without a car. If you would like to have a car to explore the area, then a car may be for you.

Question

Are there good car services available?

Answer

Uber operates in the area. We've also used a car service for airport pickup and drop-off called j1 taxi http://j1taxiservices.com/. There are also a lot of other car services/taxis in the area https://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=taxi&find_loc=Sarasota%2C+FL.

March in Longboat Key is one of the best months of the year! During the day, averages are around 77, rarely falling below 65, with very little rain. At night it can be a little more chilly.

Question

Where should you park for the welcome dinner and brunch?

If you are driving, there is marked guest parking by the clubhouse.

Question

Where should you park for the ceremony and reception?

Answer

Guests with rented cars should park at the Spike n' Tees Terrace. From there, walk or take a trolley to the main entrance of the resort and follow signs to the South Beach for the ceremony.

Question

Who should you call if you are having an issue during the wedding weekend regarding logistics (locations, parking, etc.)?

Answer

You can call Aviva Poczter (202-441-2166). She knows everything ;)

Question

What time should you arrive for the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony starts promptly at 5:00 pm. However, we suggest planning to be at the resort by 4:30 the latest! The Resort is a large property (the driveway itself is a mile long!) so it is a good idea to leave yourself plenty of time.
