Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

We recommend arriving 15-20 minutes early to get parked, settled, and seated before the ceremony begins.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

If you received a plus one, your guest's name is listed on your invitation and will appear under your name when you RSVP. Otherwise, we would love to keep our wedding as an intimate event with family and close friends. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Is there parking available?

Answer

Yes! You may park on the left-hand side of Bermuda Avenue before Forrest Boulevard (before the road changes from pavement to gravel). You will have to walk part of the way. Follow the signs accordingly. If you are in need of a ride, there will be a golf cart utilized for any handicapped/disabled guests.

We'd love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day. Dress code is formal attire. Ladies can wear floor-length, tea-length, or midi formal dresses. Gentlemen can wear a suit & tie.
