Question

WHEN SHOULD I RSVP BY?

Answer

The sooner the better! However if you're looking for a hard-and-fast date, we'd appreciate a finalized guest list before October 23, 2019 to help us accurately plan. If you know ahead of time that you may or may not make it, bring an invited guest, etc., please keep us updated! Seriously, too much information is so much better for us than radio silence as we plan our special day.

Question

Are small kids welcome?

Answer

Sure! Please just be sure to indicate on your RSVP if you will be bringing your child(ren).

Question

WILL WE BE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE?

Answer

The Ceremony, Cocktail Hour, and Reception will all be indoors. Florida weather is too unpredictable!

Question

May I take pictures or videos of the wedding?

Answer

You may, however we have hired two photographers which will take priority when documenting the wedding. We ask for no photos to be taken during the ceremony please.

Question

What should I Wear?

Answer

Cocktail attire, please! If you're thinking of Googleing that, then aim for something approaching formal attire. We want you to have the opportunity to look and feel great in what we hope will be a beautiful event. Ultimately, we want you there, though. If you have to dress down a bit to wear an outfit that can be crammed into a backpack in order to make it, we're not going to complain.

Question

Will there be Open Bar at the Reception?

Answer

The first 4 hours from 3pm to 7pm at the Cocktail Hour and Reception will be on us! Then the bar will convert to a cash bar. Complementary water, soda, and coffee will be provided throughout.

Question

How do I get home if I drink too much?

Answer

We HIGHLY encourage whoever intends to drink, to be sure and find a designated driver! What we suggest is, after the ceremony, drive your car home, and have an Uber or Sober Friend take you to our cocktail hour / reception. That way, you can enjoy the bar, SAFELY, then call that friend or Uber to return you home. We hope and pray this is what you choose to do, if you plan to drink.

Question

WHAT SHOULD I DO IN THE EVENT I/WE CAN'T MAKE IT ?

Answer

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.
