Question

No pets or children

Answer

Please and thank you.

Question

Are food and drinks provided?

Answer

There will be a "serve yourself buffet" and bar available after the ceremony. We plan to have a “bbq” on Friday at the dogwood pavilion, but please bring your own preference of food and drinks.

Question

What should you bring?

Answer

You may want to bring your own lawn chair for Saturday. We can’t guarantee a seat for eating either. There will be several picnic tables around for informal seating. Also, although we will provide plastic wear and cups, we encourage you to bring a personal drinking cup for refilling your drink. For those of you coming Friday, plan to bring bathing suits and a change of clothes. The public bathrooms are really nice and have showers if you plan to hang out after the day in the water. Plan to also bring whatever food or drinks you’d like for that day. Those of you camping or staying later… you know what to do.

Question

What should you wear for the wedding?

Answer

We are hoping everyone is in comfortable attire. Please not suites and ties, or heels. Christina will be in a dress and Vinny will be in a short sleeve button up. Feel free to wear short sleeves, shorts, or a sundress. Sandals are fine as well.

Tell me about tubing

Answer

Most guests enter the water at the Beaver’s Landing river access point with a tube or raft, and spend an hour or so floating down the river to the Tube Exit at Twin Spring. When you exit at Twin Spring, follow the Tube Trail and back to the Ginnie Spring parking lot, it’s about a fifteen-minute walk. Tube rentals are available at the Ginnie Springs General Store.

Question

Snorkel and Fin rentals

Answer

Due to COVID-19, Ginnie springs is not renting mask/snorkel package or fins at this time. However, snorkeling and scuba diving are very common in the springs. If you are able to provide your own gear, we highly recommend bringing them.

Question

Bathroom, water, electric and trash

Answer

Trash cans are everywhere for the public with green trash bags. Large dumpsters are available if you camp and collect your own trash. Fresh water spouts and trash cans can be found at nearly each street light. Lots of them around. The pavilions outlet will be utilized for our sound system and lights. But electric is available if you reserve a “water and electric” campsite. All regular campsites are “first come, first serve” and do not have their own water and electric. Bathrooms are close and have showers, toilets with one outlet. However, ladies be aware there are no mirrors if you plan to get ready there. Two Portable toilets are located right outside the pavilion.
