Question
Can I bring a plus-one?

Question
I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?
Answer
Absolutely! Please include any food allergies or dietary restrictions in your RSVP so we can plan accordingly.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Yes, the dress code is semi-formal. Since our venue is a tropical botanical garden in sunny Florida, we encourage guests to wear bright, vibrant colors and have fun with tropical or floral prints! We kindly ask that you avoid black if possible. We have created a pinterest board of inspiration for guest dresses if you'd like some ideas: https://pin.it/4WR9fGh88
