Welcome Drinks!

Blue & White: Anything goes in the ocean-inspired color palette. We recommend going for anything from sundresses and sandals to jeans and cool linen tops. And yes, white is ok!

We'll have drinks and heavy appetizers poolside with an ocean view. We'll have lawn games, too! Please bring a towel if you'd like to take a dip!

Our Ceremony & Reception

Sat, Jun 28, 2025, 5:00 pm - Sun, Jun 29, 2025, 12:00 am

Bright Flower-Inspired Garden Attire: Wear sundresses, cocktail dresses, floral prints, suits in lighter hues, and fun hats and fascinators if that's your speed!

Our venue is a converted 17th century monastery perched above the Atlantic. We'll be enjoying the expanse of the property indoors and outdoors, amazing views and the ocean breeze. We recommend cooler outfits for the evening (no A/C) and maybe a shawl or sweater for after the sun goes down. We also suggest comfortable shoes for walking - and dancing! - on volcanic stone floors and grass. We will have a shuttle picking up from multiple locations. We'll contact you directly with your shuttle time and pickup spot. We will also have a return shuttle post reception!

For all the days along the way
