FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP on this website by April 21st, 2025. If you are having any difficulty with navigating the website or other concerns, please reach out to us with questions.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Doors open at 5:30p. Please plan to be seated by 6p for the ceremony to begin

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code is semi-formal (long dresses and tuxedos or tea-length dresses and suits), but ultimately we want everyone to dress in the way that makes them the most comfortable and feel the best about themselves. We promise there are no Bridezillas here so please do not spend too much energy feeling stressed about getting the dress code exactly 'right' - just don't wear white. Please also keep in mind that the ceremony will be taking place outdoors in June so account for the heat as well.

Question

Will the wedding take place indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Both! The ceremony will take place outdoors on the Chesapeake Bay and the reception will be indoors. There is a back-up plan to move the ceremony indoors in case of inclement weather. It will be June and may be hot, so don't forget your sunscreen!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Unfortunately, as much as we would love to have everybody there the venue has a strict occupancy limit and we are not able to offer Plus Ones unless explicitly stated differently on your invitation.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Of course! If your invitation included the kiddos, we would love to have them.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Please do! There is a place on the RSVP to include any food allergies or dietary restrictions (i.e. vegan, no pork, etc.) you may have. Please make sure to RSVP early so that we can do our best to accommodate any food restrictions.

Question

I don't see a place on the RSVP to request what kind of protein I want?

Answer

Our caterer provides both meal entrees (chicken and fish) to every guest so you get to sample a little of everything. If you have a dietary restriction that precludes one of these options (such as vegan or seafood allergy) please let us know on the RSVP and you will get double of the other options. With the except of vegan and kids meals, we are not able to offer alternative proteins at this time.
