Yes, the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception will all be outside. Please keep in mind it is Florida in April so the temperature ranges from 60F-80F, but will drop as the night goes on. Sydonie Mansion also has a bit of a breeze as it is located on the water at the top of the hill so please be mindful when selecting attire.
While we love children, this event is strictly 18+ and no kids will be permitted. Absolutely no exceptions and if you chose to still bring them you will politely be asked to leave.
While we will not be taking live requests during the ceremony, we want everyone to have a great time on the dancefloor so please place any song requests you may have while RSVPing or reach out to Simon and me directly.
The dress code for this event is semi-formal. This means for men a suit is generally appropriate, but a blazer with dress pants and a tie can also work. Avoid casual attire like jeans, t-shirts, or sneakers. For women this entails cocktail dresses, midi dresses, pantsuits, or a dressy skirt and blouse combination are all suitable. Floor-length gowns are generally considered too formal for semi-formal events.
Mount Dora is a smaller town with bars open late. There are Ubers that can easily get you downtown or if you are staying at the Lakeside Inn or Airbnb it is walkable.
Please RSVP by March 1st, 2026.
