This means we'd love all of our guests to be dressy casual! A dress or work casual outfit for the ladies (dress pants, romper, etc.). For the men, dress pants or khakis are perfect! We want you to be comfortable but no jeans, please!
Please see the "Travel" tab of this website for more information on the hotel that we have rooms blocked at discounted rates, as well as other information.
We are very lucky to have moved into our home together a few years ago. Since then, we've accumulated all of the basics that we need. That has us only needing a few things to upgrade our home! We are only registered here on Zola. You can locate our registry under the Menu tab by selecting Registry. You'll also see that we've created a couple of cash funds or experiences, you can contribute towards and that will go directly towards the honeymoon, things to do while we're there, etc.
During "Cocktail Hour" there will be a cash bar for you to purchase drinks while we have photos done! Once the reception begins, there will be an open bar that we will be taking care of up until a certain amount. Once that has been met the bar will return to cash bar for the remainder of the night!
We will be having an "unplugged" ceremony! While we love that you want to share our special day, we ask that you leave your phones in your purse, pocket or cars during the ceremony. We will have a wonderful photographer catching all the special moments with both us and all of our loved ones, that's you!
While we live in the sunshine state, it most definitely isn't always sunny. With it being late January, it may be a tad cold (mostly for us Florida locals!) so a jacket or sweater may be a good idea! We also would encourage you to be prepared for rain, because you just never know!
Yes! And during the cocktail hour/reception we encourage everyone to share the photos and love with our hashtag! These memories will be great additions to our special day! #ClaimingCarstenn
Due to us wanting to share our day with all of those special to us and also being at capacity please do not bring uninvited guest. Your invitation should have the number of seats reserved in your honor.
As everyone knows, kids are a huge part of our lives. We love them and all of the excitement they add to our lives. That being said, the wedding will be child free aside from the wedding party. If you are one of our guests traveling into town and have kiddos, reach out and we can tell you the game plan for our little loves!
