Please RSVP by September 5th, using the RSVP tab in the menu. If you do not RSVP in time, we will assume that you are unable to attend.
Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP.
As much as we love your little ones, we will not be including children in the ceremony or reception, besides those in the bridal party. We encourage you to use this evening as a "night out" for yourself!
Florida is still very warm in early October! Plan for the 80s :)
Formal Attire! We would love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day. Dress to impress in your best formal garden party attire. Fall garden colors are encouraged. We would love if the ladies wore long dresses and for the guys, a suit jacket is optional (it's Florida!). Please no jeans, sundresses, & avoid shades of white.
Please refrain from taking photos during the ceremony, however we would love if you tagged us on any social media postings from the reception.
We suggest staying in the Winter Haven area. This is where all of the local restaurants and bars are located. We have 3 room blocks, and there are booking links on this website. We also recommend Air BnBs in Winter Haven, Davenport, and Haines City areas. If you do not mind driving about an hour to the wedding venue, the Orlando/Disney area has many large family homes to rent in Kissimmee, FL and Celebration, FL.
All of the Disney attractions are less than 45 minutes from the venue and the Winter Haven area. We highly suggest Disney Springs if you are looking for some fun dining options. Downtown Tampa is about an hour from Winter Haven. The closest beach is Apollo Beach which is also about an hour from Winter Haven as well. As the wedding is on a Thursday, extend your trip through the weekend for a mini vacation!
Orlando International Airport is about 50 minutes to Winter Haven. Tampa International is about 1 hour 15 minutes drive to Winter Haven. I would plan to rent a car as Ubers in this area from the airports can be very pricey.
Bella Cosa is about 1 hour and 40 minutes from the St. Pete area WITHOUT traffic. Please be mindful that the wedding is on a Thursday and you will have extra traffic with the daily commute. The ceremony will start promptly at 5:00PM. I personally would leave St. Pete around 2:30PM at the latest just to be safe :)
There is plenty of free parking at the venue.
