FAQs

The Wedding Website of Melissa Goodman and Max Gomas
If you have any questions other than what we've listed here, please reach out to Melissa or Max.
Question

What does a "cocktail" dress code entail for the Ceremony and Reception?

Answer

We ask that men please wear either a suit or blazer with dress pants, and a tie or bowtie. As for women, please wear a dress, pantsuit or separates that are appropriate for a formal wedding.

Question

Will there be a shuttle back to The Sonesta Hotel following the Reception?

Answer

Yes. If you do not want to leave at the time the shuttle arrives, Ubers are easy to arrange.

Question

Can I bring a date or children?

Answer

We have to limit our number of guests due to Reception venue capacity. If your invitation did not specifically mention a guest, we unfortunately do not have room for them.
