FAQs

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

We recommend arriving by 4:30 PM to allow time for parking, mingling, finding your seat, and settling in before the ceremony begins promptly at 5:00 PM. Arriving a little early helps us keep the day running smoothly.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Absolutely! We’ve handpicked three great spots in Virginia Beach: Wyndham at the Oceanfront, The Delta, and Courtyard Marriott—all listed in the Travel section of our website. Alternatively, you can also check out Fairfield Inn & Suites Virginia Beach Town Center or Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Town Center. They’re not part of our wedding block, but they’re still a quick drive to the venue and give you easy access to shopping, dining, and less touristy vibes. Pro tip: Our wedding falls on a busy event weekend in Virginia Beach, so hotels will fill up fast. If rooms are scarce (or you just want something different), consider checking Airbnb or Vrbo for condos, cottages, or whole-house rentals nearby. If you need help finding the perfect spot, just reach out to the bride or groom—we’re happy to play travel agent

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes! The Lesner Inn has its own parking lot right on site, and parking is free for our guests. If the lot fills up, there’s overflow parking nearby—plus, ride-shares like Uber and Lyft are always an easy option, and highly recommended! Please be safe and responsible if driving to and from the venue. If you plan to enjoy some drinks, consider using a ride-share or arranging a designated driver. We want everyone to have a fantastic and safe time!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes, the dress code for our wedding is semi-formal. We kindly ask guests to wear cocktail dresses, tuxes, or suits and ties. We appreciate your effort to dress appropriately for the occasion as we celebrate this special day together!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We love the little ones who are part of the wedding party or family—they’ll be joining us for the ceremony only. After that, the celebration is adults-only, so everyone can kick back and enjoy the evening. Thanks so much for understanding!
