FAQs
Question
What time should I arrive to the ceremony?
Answer
While the official wedding ceremony start time will be listed on your invitations, we asked guests to arrive 30-45 minutes prior to the ceremony time.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Dress code...it's a beach! Beach Casual is perfectly fine - here is what that means: Women: A formal summer sundress with sandals or a jumpsuit that’s light and dressy. A good rule for a beach wedding is to avoid heels and opt for dressy sandals or flats. If you prefer to go with heels, wedges might be your best bet. Men: A light suit with a linen shirt, pants, sandals, or boat shoes. Ties are not a requirement.
Question
Will the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception take place indoors or outdoors?
Answer
The ceremony and reception will both take place outdoors, on the beach! Temperature may be cooler at night, however temperature are typically comfortable this time of year. Feel free to bring a jacket, shawl, or gloves in the event of cooler temperatures.
Question
What will your wedding-day timeline look like?
Answer
Guests can begin arriving between 4pm-4:30pm and the ceremony will begin at 5pm. Following the ceremony, we ask our guests to join in group photos on the beach. We will then move into the bonfire reception, directly following the ceremony and photos.
Question
