FAQs

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

Please arrive by 4:45 PM to be seated before the ceremony begins promptly at 5:00 PM.

Question

Is the ceremony indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Indoors in the ceremony room at Clarks Landing Yacht Club.

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

We kindly ask that all guests refrain from using phones or cameras during the ceremony so everyone can be fully present in the moment. Our officiant will invite you to take out your phones for a brief moment to capture a quick photo before the ceremony begins — after that, we ask that you sit back, relax, and enjoy the moment with us. We’ve hired a professional photographer to capture every special detail, and we can’t wait to share the photos with you!

Question

Can I bring my kids?

Answer

We adore your little ones, but our wedding will be an adult-only celebration. The only exceptions will be the children of the bride’s and groom’s parents siblings and our junior bridesmaid. If your invitation is addressed to “and family,” your whole family is included. If it is not, we kindly ask that you make arrangements for a child-free evening. While we love and cherish all the special kids in our lives, this will be a formal and elegant event meant for the grown-ups to relax, celebrate, and enjoy. We truly appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate with you!
