FAQs

Question

How Do I RSVP?

Answer

You can RSVP directly through our website at any time. The names of all invited guests are listed; simply type in your name. We will include a paper RSVP upon request if you prefer to mail your RSVP back to us.

Question

What if I don't RSVP in time?

Answer

If you do not RSVP by June 30th, 2026, you will be marked as "not attending". We would love celebrating with you, however, we have to provide an exact guest count to our vendors and cannot accept late RSVP's. (This will mean you are not allowed to show up to our special day. There will be no seating, food, or drink accommodations for you.)

Question

What should I do if I cannot make it?

Answer

You will definitely be missed! If you cannot attend our wedding, please indicate "Declined" on your RSVP so we can plan accordingly. If you have already RSVP'd "Attending", but find that you will not make it, please notify us as soon as you are aware.

Question

Can I bring a date/plus-one?

Answer

Due to limited budget, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. Your invite will be made out to "(Your Name) & Guest" if a plus one has been given to you. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Is the wedding kid friendly?

Answer

While the couple is very fond of your children, they have chosen to keep the guest list limited to older children and adults. We encourage you to use this as a fun date night! We appreciate you making prior arrangements so you can celebrate with us.

Question

Are pictures allowed during the wedding?

Answer

We kindly ask that you refrain from taking photographs or video recordings during the ceremony and reception. To ensure everyone can fully enjoy the evening device-free, we have hired professionals to capture these moments and promise to share the photos with you as soon as we receive them. We will also have a photobooth available for you to capture memories with friends and family. We kindly ask that you do not share any photos on social media of the wedding until either Samantha or Thomas has had the chance to do so first.

Question

Where should we bring/send our wedding gift?

Answer

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for! If you would like to honor us with a gift, there will be a card box at our reception. You can find our complete wedding registry right here on our website!

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We'd love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day. Dress code is cocktail attire. Ladies you can wear midi or floor length dresses. Gentlemen can wear slacks and button down shirt with tie. Please no jeans, sneakers, and of course NO WHITE. Please avoid wearing colors traditionally reserved for the Bride: whites, ivories, and creams. Please no glitter. A color palette will be included with your formal invite.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

A time for the ceremony will be on your formal invitation. A schedule for the day will also be available right here on our website. We ask that you arrive NO LATER THAN 15 minutes before the ceremony starts. You may arrive earlier earlier than 15 minutes and it will give you time to park, sign the guest book, and find your seat. If you arrive after the ceremony has already started, you will not be able to be seated and will have to wait until cocktail hour to enter!

Question

Can I bring my own drinks?

Answer

Outside alcoholic beverages are not permitted at the wedding. We have hired a professional bartending service for the duration of the event. Thank you for your understanding.

Question

What if I have dietary restrictions?

Answer

If you have any food or drink allergies or follow a specific diet, please include these details in your RSVP. We will do our best to accommodate your requirements.

Question

Are we allowed to explore the marina?

Answer

Only the bride, groom, and event staff are allowed on the docks. Other guests may only access the dock for professional photographs done with the bridge and groom. For safety reasons, children under the age of 12 are not allowed on the dock for photographs unless they are wearing a life vest and are accompanied by a parent/guardian.
