FAQs

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes! The dress code is considered beach formal. For the ladies, a dress or jumpsuit work for a beach formal wedding. Opt for light colors (avoiding black, cream, and white) and breathable fabrics. For your safety, we do NOT recommend wearing heels. For the guys, wear either a suit or a long-sleeved button-down shirt and slacks. Consider a breathable fabric such as linen, or khaki. Shorts, t-shirts, and flip flops are not permitted. Let us know if you have any questions!

Question

Can I bring a date or a plus one?

Answer

We’re so excited to celebrate this day with our nearest and dearest, and are hoping to keep the guest list limited. Due to this, dates or a "plus one" are not permitted. Thank you for understanding.

Question

Are our kids welcome to come?

Answer

We do have a few planned children that will be attending the wedding, however we do recommend leaving the kids at home, if possible! If you are unable to do so, please let us know in advance so that we may coordinate with the venue regarding dinner for your kids!

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Question

I've never been this far south in the Outer Banks! What is there to do?!

Answer

That is a great question! While the northern neighborhoods of the OBX tend to be filled with tourists, you may have noticed that around Buxton and neighboring towns, things are a little more slow paced. Please see our "Things To Do" tab and check out the local food as well as some of the island staples that you sure do not want to miss!
