Question

What is the wedding attire?

Answer

Dress Code: Garden Formal Think formal attire with a fun garden-party twist! Ladies, midi to floor-length gowns in bright colors, bold patterns, or playful textures —please, no jumpsuits or short/knee-length dresses. Gentlemen, suits with a tie or bow tie—any color or pattern works! The ceremony and much of cocktail hour will be outdoors on grass and by the water, so plan your footwear and layers accordingly. Most importantly, have fun and dress in a way that makes you feel fabulous!

Question

Are there room blocks?

Answer

We’ve reserved room blocks at two nearby hotels for your convenience: Bristol Harbor Inn and Howard Johnson by Wyndham Middletown Newport Area. You can find all the details and booking links on our ‘Hotels & Travel’ page. Be sure to book early—rooms at the discounted rate are limited and available only until the listed date!

Question

Can I Bring a Guest?

Answer

Your invitation is just for you (and your plus-one if noted)! We can’t accommodate extra guests, so please RSVP only for the people listed on your invite.

Question

Little ones at the wedding?

Answer

While we love kids, this will be an adults-only event—so enjoy a night off and help us make the celebration unforgettable!

Question

Can I leave my car at the venue?

Answer

The venue offers plenty of parking if you choose to drive, and guests are welcome to leave their cars overnight. All vehicles must be picked up by 10 AM the following morning. Ubers or Lyfts are also easily accessible, though we recommend pre-ordering to ensure timely arrival.

Question

Got Food Restrictions?

Answer

The bride comes with many food allergies, so she knows her way around special meals! If you have any dietary restrictions or preferences, please let us know on your RSVP so we can make sure everyone eats happily (and safely)!

Question

Is there transportation to the after party?

Answer

Yes! Transportation will be provided for anyone who would like to join us. Buses will depart at 11:00 PM and is approximately a 5-minute drive.
