I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

We have done our very best to have many offerings that can satisfy an array of dietary needs and restrictions.

Answer

For the welcome party and brunch, please dress comfortably and as you wish. Shorts, flip flops and denim are welcomed. For the ceremony and reception, this a garden and and cocktail attire event. We encourage sundresses, floral prints, suits in lighter hues, polos, khakis, and fun hats and fascinators. We ask that you refrain from wearing any denim, cargo shorts and pants and flip flops. It is the end of May in Florida, please keep that in your mind as you choose attire. Also, should you choose a hat or fascinator, there are many guests who want to see...please don't let your hat or wardrobe obstruct the view of those around you. Thank you for your understanding.
