While we take the health of our friends and family seriously, the wedding is still happening and going as planned. It is simply too early to make any impulsive decisions. Please check back often for updates. Last updated October 2022.
We are following the local guidelines and laws of Clearwater. As of October 2022, the beaches and hotels are open and do not have a mask mandate. However, it is highly encouraged to bring one for spaces that would be considered difficult to social distance (restaurants, public restrooms, elevators, etc). If you would like to stay up-to-date on COVID-19 related news in Clearwater, here's a link: https://www.visitstpeteclearwater.com/info/st-peteclearwater-travel-awareness We have opted to not require masks due to our ceremony being outside, in fresh air. However, seating arrangements will be distanced as best as possible.
By September 16, 2022. Scan the QR code to start your RSVP, or mail the response card back.
RSVP response cards were sent to select individuals, who may prefer the traditional way of RSVPing. If you have lost your RSVP, please reach out to the bride. If you did not receive one, it’s okay. You’re reading this, so you’ve found our website. Scroll up to the menu. Click ‘RSVP’ on the menu bar and follow the prompts :) See you on the beach!
Yes. We have a hotel room block at the Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach. The bride is also currently working to see about securing another hotel block for those needing a room that’s budget-friendly. Please see the travel tab for more information.
Thank you for being honest and upfront. Yes, we have solutions. We have listed them below: 1. Arrive the day before and depart the day after the hotel. (You would pay for 2 days.) 2. Arrive the day-of the wedding and depart the day after the wedding. (You would pay for 1 day.) PLEASE NOTE: Our reserved dates are December 16, 2022-December 18, 2022. The hotel has only secured those dates for the FIRST TEN (10) rooms booked. The hotel allows our guests to +/- three (3) days to their trip, with our group discount, should they have the availability. Again, the dates outside the weekend of December 16, 2022 through December 18, 2022, are subject to their availability. Please visit the travel tab to book your room. Payment will be due at check-in.
If you have your own transportation, at least 30 minutes before the ceremony is to start. If you're riding on the shuttle, departure from the hotel is at 2:15pm. Please plan accordingly to ensure you have time to catch the elevator down to the lobby and board the shuttle. The drive to the ceremony location is short, but the walk is not.
Yes. Please make sure to include any food allergies or dietary restrictions when you RSVP, which is due by September 16, 2022.
Yes. A shuttle will be provided on our wedding day for our guests. Please be sure to indicate that you will be riding the shuttle when you RSVP so that we have a proper headcount.
Yes. However, we recommend riding the shuttle on the wedding day, or using a service like Uber or Lyft, if you opt to ride separately. Please keep in mind that Clearwater is small, therefore, free parking lots are limited. For better assistance with your parking questions, here's a link to parking options, an interactive parking map, rates and more: https://www.myclearwater.com/government/city-departments/engineering/parking-system
Yes. We are registered on Zola. Please click the Registry tab for more information.
We have changed venues and locations, so plus ones will be limited. Unless you have been given the O.K. by the groom or bride, or your invite states you may bring a guest, no.
While Auntie Keke and Uncle Nate love the kids, and would love to invite all the munchkins, we are asking that only the children invited attend the wedding. Otherwise, we appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can unwind, relax & celebrate with us.
Yes. Please click the Weekend Events tab.
This is a plated dinner that requires your selection. After the RSVP date has passed, changes can no longer be made so please be certain that the entree you choose is the one that you want. This is also the time to notate any dietary restrictions or allergies and if you plan to ride the shuttle. NOTE: If you RSVP Yes, but do not select your food choice, the restaurant will select for you.
First, let us say, thank you so much! We really appreciate the sentiment. Secondly, there are two options. The first is to drop it off at the Mother of the Bride’s room or two, bring your gift along with you to drop off at the beginning of dinner. There will be a small table for gifts.
Please don't do that. Most of the decor that will be present are rentals and, subsequently, we would be charged for it. We WILL pass that invoice along to the appropriate individual(s) in the event that we are notified of missing centerpieces, candleholders, florals, etc.
We love that you would like to capture every moment of the ceremony, because it will go by pretty quickly. However, we have paid a few coins to have our ceremony professionally photographed. So, all we're asking is that you refrain from blocking our photographer. We will have the officiant make an announcement. They will let our guests know when it's okay to take photos/videos. Don't forget to tag each photo with our wedding hashtag #Hamblin2022 so we can keep track of all of your pictures and look back on the day <3 Use the hashtag for all things #Hamblin2022!
Simply, and bluntly put, if you do not RSVP Yes by the due date, you will AUTOMATICALLY be put as a RSVP No. Now, for those that need a long winded answer, your attendance costs us money. (We are not complaining because we obviously want you there.) From the seat on the shuttle, to your seat at the ceremony, to your plate at dinner. We are sending out invitations ahead of time so that you may plan ahead and decide if you will be in attendance, or not. Your “ticket” is your RSVP. Your “skates” are your entry to the ceremony & the private dinner. So, NO TICKET, NO SKATES! RSVP Yes = Seat Reserved RSVP Not Received = No Seat Reserved RSVP No = No Seat Reserved If you've seen the movie ATL, you already know what I mean, if you haven't seen it: https://youtu.be/c1B1d0d66hg?t=10
First, double-check that your question has not been answered on the website. If it indeed has not been answered, head to your nearest AUTHENTIC Mexican Taco spot and pickup chicken tacos with cilantro and onion, on corn tortillas. Make sure to ask for salsa verde and lime wedges. Then, find the bride and present these to her before asking your question. She will be your best friend!
