FAQs

Question

When should I arrive?

Answer

Doors will open at 3:30 PM, and the ceremony will begin promptly at 4:00 PM. We kindly ask all guests to arrive closer to 3:30 to allow time for valet parking and to be seated. Please note that late arrivals will not be admitted to the ceremony and will be asked to join us afterward at cocktail hour.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We want all of our guests to feel as special and valued as they are to us, so we’re asking everyone to come dressed in their best. Our celebration will be black tie, meaning formal evening wear — tuxedos or dark suits for men, and floor-length gowns or elegant cocktail dresses for women. While our wedding colors are black, white, and gold, you’re welcome to wear any color that makes you feel your most confident and beautiful. We kindly ask that no guest wear a white dress, as that color is reserved exclusively for the bride. If you have any questions about black tie attire or would like inspiration, please feel free to reach out to us directly.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

To ensure an accurate guest count and a comfortable experience for everyone, we kindly ask that only those invited attend the wedding. Please be sure to RSVP by the specified date. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we adore your little ones, we’re keeping our celebration mostly adults-only. A few children of close family and friends will be joining us, but we kindly ask that other guests leave the kiddos at home. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope you enjoy a fun, relaxed evening with us!

Question

Do you have a wedding registry?

Answer

Yes, we do! Since we already have most of the household items typically found on wedding registries, we’re using HoneyFund to help us create special experiences and memories as we start our new life together. You can find the link to our HoneyFund on this website. Thank you so much for your love and support!

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony will take place on a gorgeous outdoor lawn, surrounded by nature’s beauty. Cocktail hour will be a mix of both indoor and outdoor spaces, giving everyone a chance to mingle comfortably. The reception will be held indoors, where we’ll dance the night away in a cozy, elegant setting.

Question

What's the weather typically like this time of year?

Answer

Our wedding is in Sanford, Florida at the end of December, when the weather is usually beautiful! The ceremony will take place outdoors under the sun, with cool, comfortable temperatures—typically in the 60s to low 70s. It should be a gorgeous setting for saying “I do.” We recommend bringing a light jacket or wrap for the evening breeze. In the event of inclement weather, no worries—our venue allows us to move the ceremony indoors so the celebration can go on, rain or shine!

Question

Will there be alcohol served?

Answer

Yes! We can’t wait to toast with you! Please drink responsibly.

Question

Are there any venue rules/policies we should be aware of?

Answer

Yes—just a few helpful guidelines to keep in mind so everyone can enjoy the celebration! Parking: Complimentary valet and guest drop-off are available at the front entrance on 7th Street. If you prefer to self-park, there’s a dedicated lot for Historic Venue 1902 with the entrance on 8th Street. Children: While a few children of close family and friends will be joining us, please remember that children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Pets: Only documented service animals and approved ceremony pets (with a signed Pet Addendum and fee) are allowed at the venue. Smoking & Vaping: The building is a non-smoking facility, including e-cigarettes. Smoking is only allowed in designated outdoor areas. Please note: No smoking or vaping is permitted in the ceremony garden at any time. Drinking: We’re here to celebrate—responsibly! Please drink in moderation and help us keep the night safe and enjoyable for everyone. Thank you for helping us honor the venue’s rules so we can all relax and celebrate together!
