We have a room block at The Williamsburg Lodge, which is located directly across the street from the reception space. See the Travel & Accommodations page for more information. There are many other hotels located on the Colonial Williamsburg campus, including Williamsburg Inn, the Griffin Hotel, and the Woodlands. There are even some historical homes that offer lodging.
The wedding is a formal event. Cocktail dresses and suit and tie are appropriate, but if you've been looking for an excuse to break out that gown or tuxedo, go for it! HOWEVER, please note that the walkways in the historic area where the ceremony and cocktail hour will be taking place are a mix of cobblestone, shell, and brick. There will also be a short walk from the cocktail hour to the reception. Please choose your footwear wisely! We highly recommend that ladies who would like to wear heels also plan to bring flats.
The ceremony and cocktail hour will be outside in the Palace garden. The reception will be inside at Williamsburg Inn.
While we don't know exactly what the weather will be on our wedding day, the average temperatures are low to mid 70s during the day & mid to high 50s at night.
An RSVP card will be in your invitation letter. Also included is a return envelope pre-addressed and stamped for your convenience. Please fill out your card and mail it back to us. If you are unable to attend, kindly fill out your RSVP card & mail it in the pre-addressed envelope so that we may plan accordingly. You will be missed!
Please RSVP no later than August twenty seventh via the response card included in your invitation letter. We recognize invitation arrivals were a bit behind schedule - don’t fret! If you’d be so kind as to RSVP as soon as you’re able, it would be appreciated.
If your invitation is addressed "and Guest," you are more than welcome to bring a date. Please include their name on your RSVP card. If your invitation was only addressed to you, please do not bring a date. No meal will be provided for them.
We love your kiddos! They are more than welcome to attend the ceremony and cocktail hour. Check back for babysitter information during reception hours.
To get to the Palace from the Lodge, walk down South England Street to Queen Street. Make a left on Duke of Gloucester Street. When you reach the Palace Green, make a right. You will see the Welcome sign at the end of the Palace Green. Alternately, you may take the shortcut on the gravel path through Market Square, which will put you directly across the street from the Palace Green. See the Map.
We ask that you arrive at the Palace at 5:30pm so that we may begin the ceremony promptly at 6pm.
There is free parking both at the Williamsburg Inn and across the street from the Williamsburg Lodge. See the Map.
Because there are no motor vehicles allowed on the roadways in the historic area, there will be a short walk from the Palace to the Williamsburg Inn. If you are unable to make the walk, please contact Emily so that she may direct you.
Feel free to call or text Emily at 302-668-4777 with any additional questions or concerns.
