Due to limited venue capacity, we are unable to accomodate plus ones at our wedding unless specifically indicated on your invitation. Thank you for your understanding! We look forward to you celebrating this day with us!
Although we love your children, we regretfully cannot accommodate them at the venue due to limited seating. We hope you are able to join us anyway and enjoy an exciting evening with friends and family!
The ceremony will start at 5:30 pm. We recommend that guests arrive to the venue around 5:00 to ensure adequate time prior to the ceremony. Please note the likelihood of Jacksonville traffic on a Friday evening and plan accordingly! We want everyone to arrive safely in one piece! (You can blame the bride for a Friday wedding)
Yes! To make things as easy as possible, we created an Amazon and Pottery Barn registry that is connected to this website under the "Registry" tab. For those wanting to bless us financially as we renovate our home, Kendal's venmo link is also attached. Thank you!
Yes, there is onsite parking; however, we do encourage Ubering if you plan on drinking!
Both! Our wedding will be held at Azaleana Manor, which is the ultimate indoor/outdoor venue. The ceremony will be outdoors overlooking the St. John's River with plenty of tree coverage. Once we begin cocktail hour, guests will be able to grab a drink, some hors d’oeuvres and enjoy both the inside and outside of the venue. The dinner portion of our reception will be held on a paved area outdoors overlooking the St. John's River; however, dancing will be inside with the AC blasting!
As we anticipate potential Friday night traffic on Park Ave, the lovely staff at our venue has recommended that guests take River Road on their way to the venue to avoid traffic and arrive swiftly. If you have just exited 295 and are driving south on Park Ave, take a left at the second light onto Wells Road and a Right on River Rd. In 1.4 Miles, take a natural right onto Kingsley Ave and Azaleana Manor will be immediately on your left.
