Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer

Question
Do you have any hotel recommendations?
Answer
We have social booking links available for three local hotels: the Wentworth by the Sea Hotel, the Residence Inn by Marriott Portsmouth Downtown/Waterfront, and the AC Hotel Portsmouth Downtown/Waterfront. There are also many other Portsmouth-area hotels and Airbnbs for guests to book if preferred. For more information about local accommodations, please visit our Travel page.
Question
Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?
Answer
Yes! While the wedding ceremony and reception will be taking place at Wentworth by the Sea Hotel, we know that many of our guests will choose to stay at various hotels in downtown Portsmouth. For those interested, we have arranged for shuttle bus service to pick up guests at the Residence Inn by Marriott Portsmouth Downtown/Waterfront on Deer Street and depart for the wedding ceremony at 2:45 PM. Transportation back to the Residence Inn will also be provided starting at 8:00 PM and following the conclusion of the wedding reception. Please see our "Schedule" page for more information.
Question
What does "cocktail" wedding attire mean?
Answer
Our wedding ceremony and reception have a dress code of "cocktail" attire, which may consist of a suit and tie, blouse and dress pants, or a knee-length, tea-length, midi or floor-length dress with sensible shoes. Be sure that whatever you choose to wear, you'll be comfortable enough to join us on the dance floor!
Question
Will I be able to take photos during the ceremony?
Answer
Our wedding ceremony will be an “unplugged” event, meaning that we kindly ask guests to please refrain from taking pictures or videos until after the ceremony has concluded. We will have wonderful photographers on site capturing every moment and we will be sure to share these photos with guests following the wedding!
Question
Will I be able to bring my kids?
Answer
We love your little ones, but we have decided to keep our wedding to an adults-only event.
Question
How about a plus one?
Answer
When you receive your invitation, it will list each member of your family/party who is invited. Guests who have been allotted a plus one will be able to RSVP for themselves and their guest on our wedding website.
Question
I have a food allergy. Can I make a special request?
Answer
Yes! Please specify any dietary restrictions when you RSVP.
