You Look Good in Red

Rachel (almost) Ortiz + Javier Ortiz = ROJO

We've taken selfies in our red jackets in 7 countries (and many states)- but we're so excited to shed the puffers and say "I do" by the waters of sunny Tampa Bay. We can't wait to celebrate with you!

Schedule

The Wedding Website of Rachel Stevenson and Javier Ortiz
The ceremony will begin at 5pm at the Tampa Bay Watch. Parking is EXTREMELY limited at the venue! If you are staying in downtown St. Pete, we have reserved trolley transportation to and from the Hollander hotel. Please utilize our trolleys or share Ubers (your safety is #1 and the bar will be stocked!) Trolleys leave the Hollander at 3:30pm (encouraged) & 4:30pm. Trolleys will leave the Tampa Bay Watch at 9:45pm (encouraged) & 10:45pm (for the stragglers) heading back to the Hollander, with a stop at a nearby bar to keep the night going :) Most downtown hotels will be walkable from either stop. See below for our planned pre-wedding activities- we would love to see you there!

Sunday Funday

2:00 pm

Hollander Hotel St. Petersburg / Downtown
421 4th Avenue North, St. Petersburg, FL 33701

A little R & R before the big day! You'll find us spending all afternoon on Sunday at the Hollander pool- if you are staying at the hotel, call to inquire about booking a free cabana! They'll have a poolside DJ going all afternoon. We'll be having dinner at their Tap Room Restaurant later in the evening- but the real focus of the day will be keeping an eye on our fantasy teams.

We are unbelievably grateful you are willing to make the journey to celebrate with us! There is absolutely zero expectation to grace us with anything but your presence. BUT, if you would like to contribute to our household, Rachel needs to keep the kitchen stocked, and Javi needs to finally see the Warriors win a game in person!
