No. Our intent is to have only those join us for whom are our nearest and dearest, with the goal of a small, intimate wedding with cherished friends and family. If your invitation does not say "& Guest," your RSVP should only be for yourself.
The Irish Goodbye: Highly Encouraged! When you're ready to call it a night, we fully support a fabulous disappearing act! No need to hunt us down on the dance floor for a goodbye. Our goal is to soak up every magical moment, which is a little harder when we're stopping mid-dance to bid farewell to 75 of our favorite people. So slip away, Cinderella-style (glass slippers optional), and we'll see you at the Farewell Brunch the next day, where we'll have plenty of time for hugs, goodbyes, and heartfelt thank-yous. Until then, consider your goodbye officially waived!
It's actually quite easy! See the step-by-step instructions on the Travel Tab of this website.

We recommend arriving promptly at 3:00, not any earlier. All guests will move into the villa with their drinks at 4:00 PM for the start of the ceremony. We recommend utilizing the provided shuttle.
