How or when do I Rsvp?

Answer

At this time, our RSVP tab is not open and it will be once formal invites are sent out. You can RSVP on this very website--just look at the top of the screen. Please send us your acceptances or regrets by. Please note, since this is a destination wedding, we will only count you down as attending when you submit either a flight or accommodation booking to confirm.

Answer

If we do not receive your RSVP and/or your confirmed flight or accommodation by 11/22/2026, we will mark you down as not attending. We will miss you celebrating with us, however, we have to provide our total guest count for our venue in the timeframe they have provided us.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

The ceremony will be starting at 4:30PM. To avoid being late and missing anything, we recommend arriving by 4:00PM to ensure parking and finding a seat before it starts. Also, arriving early gives you time to take pictures! Welcome drinks and fans will be provided as well.

Question

Which airport should I travel to?

Answer

We recommend flying into Phuket International Airport (HKT). The resort we are choosing to stay at is approximately 30 minutes from this airport. If you would like to explore Thailand before the wedding, my recommendation is to fly to Bangkok International Airport, and then hop on a one hour flight from Bangkok to Phuket.

Question

How do I get from the airport to the resort?

Answer

Please fly into Phuket International Airport (whether you are flying straight here from USA or visiting Bangkok first). Shuttles from the airport to the hotel can be booked directly with the hotel. Please see "Travel Details" for more information.

Question

Can I stay at an Airbnb or another resort that is not listed?

Answer

Although we have a room block reserved (Travel Details Tab) feel free to stay wherever works best for you! We would love for all of our guests to stay at the same resort so that we can do activities together, have a welcome party, etc,. We want our guests to be comfortable and not have to worry about anything! If you do decide on staying at an Airbnb, we recommend staying close to the resort for our ceremony and reception. Be safe!

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

Phuket weather in January is usually as perfect as it gets. The sky is spotless, the sea is crystal clear and quiet, and the temperature is perfect, cooler than in other months. This is how everyone imagines what a tropical island like Phuket should look like. In January, Phuket enjoys warm temperatures with an average high of around 32°C (90°F). The evenings and early mornings are slightly cooler, with average lows of 23°C (73°F). The sea temperature is pleasant, averaging around 28°C (82°F), perfect for swimming and water sports.

Question

What are travel essentials I should bring?

Answer

This is Thailand! You will be on an island, called Phuket! That includes: beautiful sand. beach, clear ocean blue water, and many activities/excursions! Pack your passport, essential toiletries, sunscreen, swim suit/trunks, sunglasses, walking shoes, water proof case, etc,. Oh and don't forget your wedding guest attire!

Question

Question

What activities or excursion do you recommend?

Answer

I will have a full wedding week itinerary that you can follow if you'd like. If you want to do your own thing in Thailand before or after the wedding, we encourage it! Please refer to our "Things To Do" tab where I put links of recommended activities and excursions. Please note that our resort also have a bunch of activities included!

Question

How long should I visit Thailand?

Answer

We recommend taking 7 days off, as Thailand is 12 hours ahead and you would need to get used to the time zone! Plus, there are so many things to do in Thailand and other cities/islands to visit.

Question

Do I have to follow your entire wedding / Thailand itinerary?

Answer

We are so grateful that you are taking your time out to travel to Thailand for us! While you are coming to celebrate us getting married, we hope you take some time off for yourself to explore Thailand! No matter how long you are visiting, it is entirely up to you!
