Question

Where is the ceremony/reception?

Answer

Both the ceremony and the reception will be held at The Ribault Club in Jacksonville, Florida.

Question

How do I get to the venue?

Answer

Our venue is reachable by car. You will turn onto Fort George Road from Heckscher Drive and, when the road forks, proceed on the paved road on your right to reach the venue. If you get turned around, don't worry! There is only one road around the island and you will reach our venue regardless.

Question

What is the road to the venue going to be like?

Answer

Our venue is historic and located on Fort George Island. The road to the venue is somewhat narrow - please be patient and expect to give way for vehicles traveling in the opposite direction. The road will be very dark at night but it's nothing a good set of headlights can't help!

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

Guests may start arriving at 4:30PM. The ceremony will start at 5:00PM.

Question

Is there a dress code for the wedding?

Answer

Yes, we request that guests dress in semi-formal or cocktail attire. Don't overthink it!

Question

What will the weather be like?

March in North Florida is typically mild, with temperatures around the 70s or low 80s. However, the weather in Florida can be somewhat unpredictable and we recommend that guests monitor the forecast prior to arrival.

Will there be anything going on the day before the wedding?

Answer

We are planning on being at the Green Turtle Tavern, a local dive bar in downtown Fernandina, from around 7:00PM to 9:00PM on Friday, March 27 for a very casual and informal get-together. Feel free to come through and say hello if you're in the area!

Where should I stay?
