Anywhere in Coconut Grove is great! Miami Beach or Downtown Miami are also options if you are looking to be further from the wedding venue. Please see "Travel" tab for specific hotel suggestions.
We wore sweatpants for 3 years. Let’s get fancy! For the welcome party, we recommend tropical cocktail party attire. Imagine you might be on the set of Miami Vice! For girls this means 80s colors meets cocktail party and for guys this means linen suits! For the wedding, long dresses and tuxes are preferred. Ladies, a large portion of the event will be on grass, so we recommend you stick to block heels and we want to see bright, Miami colors!!
Yes, we will provide roundtrip transportation from the Courtyard Marriott and the Ritz Carlton in Coconut Grove to Deering Estate for the wedding. The first bus leaves at 4:00 PM from the Courtyard Marriott. The second bus leaves at 4:15 PM from the Ritz Carlton. At the conclusion of the event, transportation will be provided to the after party, the Ritz, and the Courtyard. For guests that desire to leave early from the event, a bus will leave promptly at 9:15 from the entrance of Deering Estate.
Yes, there is plenty of free parking available at the venue.
We love ALL of your children, however we have decided to make this an adults-only celebration. We hope you understand!
We are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. Please feel free to text us with any questions!
We request that you keep your phone in your pocket/purse during the ceremony. We promise to share lots of photos with you after the wedding. Feel free to use your phone during the cocktail hour and reception, especially to get some photos in front of the water!
We view your trip to Miami as a gift in and of itself. If you still feel inclined to give a gift, we ask that any gifts be sent directly to our home rather than brought to Miami. We will be flying directly from Miami to our honeymoon destination and will have minimal extra space in our suitcase!
Get your flu vaccine and covid booster! We want to keep all our loved ones healthy in the midst of cold and flu season and this is a way for you to ensure we do that
