FAQs
Question
When is the RSVP deadline?
Answer
Please kindly RSVP by June 15, 2026. This helps us finalize all the details to ensure a smooth and wonderful celebration. We appreciate you responding by this date!
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
Our celebration is strictly RSVP only, and we’re only able to accommodate those listed on your invitation. This includes children only if they are specifically invited. We truly appreciate your understanding as we keep our guest list intentional and meaningful.
Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
Please plan to arrive between 3:30 PM and 3:45 PM so you have plenty of time to get seated before the ceremony starts promptly at 4:00 PM. Guests arriving after the ceremony begins will be asked to wait until it concludes before entering. We appreciate your understanding as we aim to keep this special moment uninterrupted.
Question
What should I wear? Is there a dress code?
Answer
The dress code for our wedding is cocktail attire. Think cocktail dresses, elegant summer dresses, or dressy separates. For men, dress pants with a collared shirt are perfectly appropriate—no need for a full suit, though you’re welcome to wear one if you’d like. Since it’s August and likely to be warm, we encourage light, breathable fabrics to stay comfortable. Kindly avoid wearing white, and as a heads-up, the bridal party will be dressed in dusty blue and navy.
Question
What will the weather be like this time of year?
Answer
While we can’t predict the exact weather, August in South Florida is typically hot and humid, with average highs in the upper 80s to low 90s. Don’t worry — the ceremony space has plenty of shade.
Question
Where will the ceremony and reception be taking place?
Answer
Both the ceremony and reception are at the same venue.
Question
Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
The ceremony will be held outdoors, so please prepare for warm weather. Cocktail hour will be a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces, and the reception will take place indoors.
Question
What happens after the ceremony?
Answer
After the ceremony, the wedding party will head off for photos nearby — this should take about an hour. In the meantime, guests are invited to enjoy cocktail hour, complete with drinks, appetizers, and outdoor games to keep things fun while we get those just-married shots!
Question
Where should guest park? Is parking free?
Answer
Yes, parking is free for all our guests. When you arrive at the gate, simply proceed to the left — you'll find open parking available nearby. Signs will help guide you, and we'll make sure it's easy to find your way!

For the return trip, the shuttle will make two return trips back to the hotel starting at 8:00 PM and the last departure at 10:00 PM.
Question
Can I take pictures?
Answer
We kindly ask that you refrain from taking photos during the ceremony — it will be unplugged so our photographers can capture the moment without distractions. Please keep phones and cameras tucked away until cocktail hour, when you're welcome to snap and share away! Don’t worry — we’ll be sharing all the beautiful professional photos with our guests after the big day.

Can I post pictures from the wedding on social media?
