FAQs
Question
Can I bring my kids? I promise they’ll behave!
Answer
As much as we would love to have all of our guest’s children with us, we are limited in space based on the venue’s capacity. In order to have all of our loved ones with us we have limited the reception age to 21+. Thank you for your understanding. (Find out how to make it up to your kids in the “what’s there to do in Tampa” answer)
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
We have a strict guest list due to us keeping this event small and intimate. Our wedding is strictly RSVP only. We will only be able to accommodate those listed on your invitation.
Question
What’s there to do in the area?
Answer
Downtown Tampa is really up & coming. There’s a lot more to do these days! I’d say to checkout Armature Works, Sparkman Wharf, Midtown and Hyde Park. If you have children, since you’ll be enjoying a night without the kids, you can make it up to them by taking them to Tampa’s world renowned theme park, Busch Gardens! If you want to venture to a beach, we recommend Sand Key Beach in Clearwater- it’s our favorite! The reception will be held in Historic Ybor City. Founded in 1886 by Vicente Martinez Ybor, Ybor City became "the cigar capital of the world" by 1900. Tampa Bay's historic Latin Quarter, Ybor City, is home to a genuine piece of Cuban territory – José Martí Park, dedicated to the memory of the poet, journalist, and firebrand who led the island's revolution against Spanish rule in the 1880s and 1890s.
Question
What do I wear to a Black Tie wedding?
Answer
Think a modern version of Great Gatsby meets Bridgerton? This is your night to get all dolled up, and shine baby, shine!
Question
Where are you registered?
Answer
While your presence is enough, we kindly request no boxed gifts. For your convenience, you can click on “registry” on our website for options.
Question
What kind of weather should I expect?
Answer
Welcome to the swamp lands folks. Yes, we know it’s the end of October and we should be wearing cute fall gear and sipping a hot PSL, but it just won’t happen. Plan for heat & check the weather in advanced in case by some miracle Florida decides to go rogue.
Question
Will the ceremony or reception be outdoors?
Answer
Nope, Monica hates the heat. Both events will take place indoors!
Question
What should I do if I can’t make it?
Answer
You will be missed! If you cannot make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as you know and RSVP “no” so we can plan accordingly.
Question
Where do we park at the reception?
Answer
The hotel has valet service, which will be provided at a discount for our guests. There are also many street parking options as well as pay-by-phone lots right next to the hotel!
