Can I bring a plus one?

Question
Can I bring my children?
Answer
Due to venue capacity, we kindly ask that only those listed on the invitation/RSVP join us for the celebration. Consider this a special date night on us! We completely understand if this impacts your ability to attend—if so, please let us know as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding!

Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Dressy casual! Think beachy elegance—sundresses, linen, button-downs, or flowy outfits. No sand and little grass, so heels will be okay!
Question
What time should I arrive for the ceremony?
Answer
The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:30 PM, so please plan to arrive around 4:00-4:15 PM to allow time for parking, finding your seat, and settling in. We kindly ask that all guests be seated no later than 4:20 PM so we can begin on time.
Question
When should I arrive and leave?
Answer
The main event is on 10/17/2025, but we’d love for you to spend more time with us! We recommend arriving by 10/16/2025 for a Welcome Dinner and heading home anytime after 10/19/2025. Check our schedule page for welcome and send-off events.
Question
What’s the best airport to fly into?
Answer
The closest airport is Fort Myers (RSW), about 25 minutes from our venue. We recommend booking early for the best rates.
Question
Do I need to rent a car?
Answer
It depends! Some guests may prefer the flexibility of a rental car, especially if exploring nearby areas. Others can use Uber or hotel shuttles. Our ceremony and reception are within a half mile of The Luminary Hotel, so it’s manageable either way.
Question
What should I do during downtime?
Answer
So much! Florida has beautiful beaches, shops, golf, and nature parks. We’ll include a few of our favorite local recommendations in the “Things to Do” section of the website.
Question
What’s the weather like in Florida that time of year?
Answer
October in Fort Myers is one of the best times to visit! You can expect warm, comfortable temperatures—typically in the low to mid-80s during the day and cooler evenings in the 60s or 70s. Humidity starts to ease up, and rain is less common than in summer months. We still recommend light, breathable clothing and maybe a light layer for the evening. Sunglasses and sunscreen are a must!
