FAQs
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
We kindly request cocktail attire for all of our guests. For men, this means a suit and jacket. For women, we ask for a midi or full-length dress. Since we will be celebrating in an outdoor coastal setting, we encourage bright, fun, and summery colors to match the vibe! Kindly avoid wearing white or cream—those are reserved for the bridal party.
Question
Is the ceremony outside?
Answer
Both the ceremony and reception will take place at the Wentworth by the Sea Country Club. Our ceremony will be held outside overlooking the harbor, and the reception will be held under a tent. All areas are paved with stone, so you won’t be standing on grass—no sinking heels here! In late August, Portsmouth typically enjoys sunny skies and pleasant weather, with daytime temperatures averaging around 77°F. A cool sea breeze is common, and once the sun sets, it can get noticeably colder in the evening. We recommend bringing a light jacket or wrap to stay comfortable after dark. Be sure to check the forecast before the big day so you can dress comfortably!
Question
Are children welcome?
Answer
While we love your little ones, we’re planning for a mostly adults only celebration! If your children are invited, they’ll be listed by name on your invitation. We so appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate with you!
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
Due to limited space, we are inviting all guests by name as listed on the invitation. We appreciate your understanding.
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
Formal invitations will be sent out in 2026. Please check back here for the RSVP deadline once you receive your invitation.
Question
Is there parking or transportation for the ceremony and reception?
Answer
Yes, the venue does have parking available. However, we kindly encourage guests to carpool to help maximize the space. For those staying in downtown Portsmouth, we’re planning to charter transportation to and from the venue. More details about shuttle times and pickup locations will be shared closer to the wedding date.
Question
Do you have any hotel recommendations?
Answer
Yes! Hotel block information and accommodation details will be available closer to the wedding date. We’ll update this page as soon as everything is finalized—stay tuned!
