Sydonie is an outdoor venue, so we are keeping an eye on the weather. While it’ll likely rain during the morning on Saturday, the rain should stop by 3pm, in time for the ceremony at 4:30pm. We have a contingency plan to have the ceremony in a covered area if needed. We rented 4 propane heaters for the dance floor, which is right in front of the covered porch where we’ll be eating dinner. (Heaters are not allowed on the porch itself.) It’ll be 60 at 4pm, but it’ll drop into as low as 50s/40s and be fairly windy. We suggest bringing a shawl or sweater vest to stay warm.
Yes! If you are staying at the Hilton Garden Inn Apopka City Center, and you are planning to drink, please take the bus shuttle that we have arranged. It will depart at 3:40pm sharp from hotel; heading back at 10pm. Alternatively, if you are not staying at the hotel, or prefer to drive, there is ample parking at Sydonie.
After the wedding ends on Saturday, we are planning to be at the hotel bar for the afterparty. The hotel will keep the bar open as late as 2am if folks are there! On Sunday morning, we’ll be at the hotel restaurant for an informal farewell brunch. We’ll likely be down there around 8am. Breakfast is from 7-10am; checkout is 11am.
