Question

I have a disability and/or have concerns about accessibility. Is there a way to touch base with you about this?

Answer

Yes! Accessibility matters to us and we have chosen our venue with many of these factors in mind. However, there will be a spot on our online RSVP to let us know about any questions or concerns you have around accessibility.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please plan to arrive at 4:45PM.

Question

How do I access the base on the day of the wedding? What is the security process?

Answer

We are getting married on a naval base, so you will have to go through a military base entrance with guards (don't be alarmed). All attendees should be prepared to show a valid driver's license or other federally-recognized photo ID. They will have your name and will happily direct you to our venue after confirming your identity. Please also be aware that Orange Cab (+1 401-841-0030) is the only cab company allowed on the base, so please use them for your ride to the venue. Rideshare companies such as Uber and Lyft cannot get on the base. So, if you wish to avoid the walk to the venue (about 5 minutes) or a brief wait for the shuttle we have arranged to transport you from the gate to the venue, please use Orange Cab.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes, free parking is available at the Newport Officers' Club.

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by June 1, 2022. Please note it is extremely important to RSVP on time as the naval base requires a list of all parties attending in advance. If we do not have your RSVP, they unfortunately will not allow you on the naval base the day of our wedding.

Question

I have a food allergy or other dietary restrictions related to a medical condition (e.g., Celiac Disease). Can I make a special request?

Answer

Yes. Our online RSVP will allow you to indicate any food allergies or special dietary needs. However, please note we are not able to accommodate all personal preferences.

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

We love children dearly, but want our wedding to be your night off. We hope that you will have enough notice to make other plans for your beloved kiddos.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code for our ceremony and rehearsal is semi-formal (suit and tie and cocktail dresses.)
