Painted Oaks Academy at 15100 Lake Pickett Rd in Orlando, Florida. FROM ORLANDO, GO EAST ON THE 408 TO HWY 50 EAST COLONIAL DRIVE. ONCE YOU EXIT THE 408, KEEP GOING EAST ON HWY 50 PAST AVALON DRIVE (1 MILE), TO SOUTH TANNER ROAD ON YOUR LEFT. GO TO THE END, THEN TURN RIGHT ONTO LAKE PICKETT ROAD (rt 420). ENTRANCE IS ONE BLOCK EAST ON THE LEFT. BEFORE THE ENTRANCE YOU WILL SEE A SIGN SAYS “ROY” LANE (ROY TANNER) THAT’S IT. There is a long driveway and then a grassy parking lot to the right. The big, semi-open barn across from the parking lot is the location for the wedding reception (there is a restroom to the left of the barn if you need to use it before the ceremony begins). If you are looking at the barn, follow the path to your left towards the main entrance of the ranch. Straight ahead will be large trees with a white gazebo in the center. That’s the location for the ceremony (pending good weather- if it rains we will hold both the ceremony and the reception in the event barn).
Please arrive between 3-3:40 pm. The Ceremony begins at 4pm. If you’re running late, please wait for the ceremony to end, and join us for the reception celebration. Thank you so much!
We kindly ask that you RSVP at your earliest convenience. Due to vendor deadlines, we will not be able to accept any RSVP’s after 9/1/2024. If, for any reason, you are unable to attend, your timely response will help us manage our guest list effectively. As people decline, we will be extending additional invitations to ensure a vibrant and engaging event for everyone.
We understand that for many of our northern family members, November feels more like winter than it does fall, but here in Florida, November is the perfect time for a fall wedding. We want everyone to FALL in love with the celebration of our union, so we are bringing the fall colors of the Northeast to Florida! We highly encourage our guests to dress in colors that would complement our theme. Yellow, burgundy, dark purple, and dark green are preferred. Semi-formal attire preferred. Keep in mind, ceremony and reception take place at a ranch: stiletto heels should be avoided. We also kindly ask that our guests avoid wearing colors reserved for the wedding party -white, champagne, and shades of teal, brown, and orange should be avoided if possible. We can’t wait to see you on our special day and capture some beautiful photos together.
While we would love to accommodate everyone’s desire to bring a guest of their own, unfortunately, we cannot extend this option. Our logistical arrangements are carefully planned, and we want to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all attendees. We regretfully ask to please refrain from bringing a plus-one unless they are specifically named on your invitation.
With the exception of our junior bridesmaids, our wedding will be an adult only event. We want to allow all of our guests, including parents, an evening of uninhibited revelry and relaxation. Therefore, we politely request adult attendance only. We hope you will understand our decision and take the opportunity to have a fun night celebrating with us.
