FAQs

Question

What should I wear? Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code for our wedding is semi-formal/cocktail attire

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

If your invitation says “and Guest,” then yes, if not, we would prefer if it was just you.

Question

Will children be allowed?

Answer

While we love your little ones, we would like our wedding to be an adults-only event so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. However, we do understand that many of our guests are from out of town and understand you may need to bring them. We would like it if children could leave by 730/8, so that the adults can let loose. I will have a list of recommended and available babysitters, please reach out for the information and I will be happy to send it over. We appreciate your understanding and making arrangements ahead of time for the kids, so you can celebrate with us.

Question

Answer

Cocktail hour will start at 4pm. Please check out our "Things To Do" page about some local places that you can visit between the ceremony and cocktail hour. Downtown Ft. Myers has a lot of character and history, exploring is highly recommended!
