Come get drinks with us and say hello Friday night! We will be at Shipyard’s Beach Club (next to the Sonesta resort) from 7:30 - 10 P.M. Hang out by the pool or stroll the beach Saturday morning, there is lots of shopping/dining options nearby as well. The Sonesta has a free shuttle to Coligny Beach too! Don’t tire yourself out though - we have a long night ahead… Our ceremony will begin at 3:30 P.M., please be on time and bring tissues :), we will ask everyone to put away all cellphones - we’ve spent a lot of time finding great professionals to cover every moment. We want to see your faces, not your phones! Please enjoy it with us! We will head into cocktail hour following the ceremony, then the reception will follow from 6 to 10 P.M.. Drinks, dinner, more drinks, dancing, cake, happy tears and more happy tears… what more could we wish for?
Please let us know as soon as you are able to if you are unable to make it. We appreciate each of you and all the efforts you are making to celebrate with us on this very special weekend! You will be able to RSVP on this website in the spring of 2025, we will ask all guests to please RSVP by August 15th, 2025, so we are able to finalize seating arrangements and menu selections in the weeks leading up to the wedding.
We would love to see everyone dressed up with us! Think dressed up cocktail attire. Suits are encouraged - ties are optional. Mid to long length dresses. The bridal party will be in shades of blue & green. Anna will probably be the only one in white - she likes the attention ;) Our ceremony and reception will be outdoors (weather permitting🤞), our ceremony will take place on the lawn and reception in the beach pavilion. Although we love the beach, we will not have our toes in the sand!
Your invitation and RSVP will specify anyone who is invited, unfortunately as much as we would love to have as many people as possible celebrating with us, there is a guest limit for the space and if you can believe it - we have already hit it. Thank you for understanding!
We encourage Uber/Lyfts to the Sonesta for the ceremony and reception. Please tell the front gate you are here for the Johnson-Autry Wedding, and have them drop you at the lobby of the Sonesta. There will be signage directing you to the lawn for the ceremony.
From May through October, Hilton Head Island (HHI) plays host to endangered loggerhead sea turtles who come to nest on their shores. The HHI community has rallied together to help keep these ancient mariners and their young hatchlings safe during their time here. The Town of HHI requires light structures visible from the beach be covered or turned off between the hours of 10 PM and 6 AM during nesting and hatching season (May – October). As our wedding will occur during the 2025 nesting season, all outdoor events throughout the weekend will end promptly at 10 PM. You may notice that businesses/stores/restaurants/etc follow suit as well. HHI isn't a typical beach vacation town and that is one of the many reasons why we love it.
