FAQs
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
For the ceremony in Florida...Beach Semi-Formal: A blend of casual elegance suitable for a beach setting. Women are invited to wear cocktail dresses, sophisticated sundresses, or graceful maxi dresses, complemented by stylish sandals. For men, dress slacks paired with a crisp button-down shirt are recommended; a blazer is optional. Footwear can be dress shoes or sophisticated sandals. For the at-home celebration...The dress code is casual to dressy casual. Since we'll be enjoying BBQ, you can expect a more relaxed atmosphere, so feel free to dress comfortably. Casual to Dressy Casual: Polished yet relaxed—men can wear slacks, nice jeans or chinos with a button-down shirt; a blazer or sweater is optional. Ties are not required, and shoes should be neat, like loafers or dress shoes. Women can choose dresses, skirts, tailored pants, or jumpsuits with a blouse or nice top.
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
Please refer to your invitation for plus-one details. We’ve carefully planned our guest list, so if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us directly. Due to venue capacity and the intimate nature of our wedding celebration, we are only able to accommodate those guests specifically mentioned on your invitation or RSVP. If your invitation includes a plus-one, we warmly welcome you to bring a date. Otherwise, we kindly ask you to respect this consideration to help us manage our arrangements and ensure a memorable experience for all attendees. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
With careful consideration, we’ve decided to make our wedding celebration and at-home reception an adult-only occasion. However, we understand that some guests with newborns or young babies may need flexibility, so they are welcome to bring them. We’re also making a special exception for our niece as part of the wedding party.
Question
What should I expect at the after-wedding celebration?
Answer
Our after-wedding celebration will be a relaxed and fun evening featuring a BBQ buffet dinner, delicious sides, dessert, and an open bar. The event will run from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM, allowing plenty of time to eat, drink, and mingle.
Question
Will there be dancing at the celebration?
Answer
No, we won’t have dancing at our celebration. Instead, we’ve planned an evening centered around great food, drinks, and quality time together. We chose this because it’s more our style, and we hope it will give everyone a chance to relax and enjoy each other's company.
Question
Will there be an open bar at the after wedding celebration?
Answer
Yes, there will be an open bar for the celebration. We’ve set it up to cover a certain amount, so feel free to enjoy a few drinks on us. Once that amount is reached, it will turn into a cash bar. We hope this gives everyone the chance to relax and enjoy the evening responsibly.
Question
Are you registered? Where?
Answer
