Since Covid-19 already made us postpone the wedding to April 9th 2021, we aren't doing it again. The show must go on this time! We hope that you can still join us on this new date. We will not be rescheduling the wedding a second time. If Covid is still an issue, and you do not feel comfortable attending our wedding in April, we will understand. We truly mean that. Everyone has to do what is best for their own family, so please, do not be afraid to decline our invitation. We promise we will still love you!
While we would love to invite everybody, we are unable to accommodate everyone due to budget and space restrictions. Please refer to your addressed invitation.
Cocktail Attire: Ladies can wear cocktail dresses or jump suits, and gentlemen can wear suits with ties or sport coats.
BEAUTIFUL! We are in the sweet spot for Florida weather. This time of year is usually when the humidity is still low and the temperatures are comfortable. Average high is around 82 and low is around 63 at this time of year. Don't worry though if that still sounds too hot. You can be inside the entire time.
We recommend that you arrive 30 minutes before the start of the ceremony, to make sure everyone is on time and we can get the party started as scheduled.
Please refer to your wedding invitation envelope that you received in the mail. If your childrens' names are on the envelope, they are invited to the wedding. Only children directly related to the bride or groom have been included in the wedding ceremony invitation.
UPDATE!! YES!! As we have recently learned many guests will not be able to attend our wedding, we are now able to open up the reception to anyone under 21 that was invited to the wedding ceremony. Please refer to your wedding invitation envelope that you received in the mail. If your childrens' names are on the envelope, they are invited to the wedding AND now the reception as well! Only children directly related to the bride or groom have been included in the invitations.
Doublemint Sitting Services will be able to accommodate any babysitting needs for the night. They can even group kids together and have multiple sitters if preferred. Contact Synthia Fairmen at 813-606-0129 in March to coordinate.
After the ceremony, the bridal party will be taking pictures nearby for around 30 minutes. Guests can head straight from the ballroom to the main house where we will be serving apps and beverages for cocktail hour. Reception will begin at 7:00 back in the ballroom.
We will have light bites during cocktail hour and a sit down meal during the reception. Please let us know if you have any specific dietary needs.
We invite you to be fully present with us during this monumental moment in our lives. We've hired a professional photographer to capture its significance, so please, no cameras, cell phones or other electronics until after the ceremony.
Heck Yes! We highly encourage guests to take and post pictures on to their social media channels. Our only request is that you tag each photo with our wedding hashtag #nguyenforkeeps so we can keep track of all of your pictures!
We have reserved the Orlo House until 10:00 pm, however tomfoolery may ensue elsewhere.
We have a block reserved at the brand new Hyatt Place Downtown Tampa Hotel located very close to the Orlo. Feel free to book at any downtown Tampa hotel you prefer. There are several within a 5 minute drive to the Orlo. Please refer to our travel page for additional hotel and hotel block information.
We want everyone to responsibly have a night without worry. We encourage you to take an Uber or Lift to the venue. If driving, there will be complimentary valet service at the Orlo as well.
We are currently living in a humble apartment with little room for additions. We are bursting with excitement to start the next chapter of our lives together in our first home. The most valued gift, besides your presence, would be funds to help us in our first home purchase. We will have a card box at the reception. We appreciate any and all contributions!
We are planning a Friends and Family day-after event at Armature Works. Details of the event are on our schedule page.
You will be missed! If you can not make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP “No,” so we can plan accordingly.
We would greatly appreciate your response online by February 28th, 2021 so we can plan accordingly.
Unless you have to change your RSVP response, you do not have to resubmit your RSVP.
Not at all. We understand that the times have changed and weddings may never feel the same again. If you are uncomfortable attending, we are not going to be upset with you for not coming. We would rather you follow your heart, than feel uncomfortable and unsafe at our event.
We plan to distance chairs at the ceremony, not over crowd the reception tables, allow people to wear masks, and have hand sanitizers throughout the venue.
