Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
We kindly ask that our guests join us in dressing up for the occasion while embracing our seaside setting. We are drawing inspiration from the ocean views, so feel free to embrace lightweight formal attire and summer colors to embrace our Elevated Coastal Formal dress vibe. For Women: Think sophisticated summer dresses or sets with breathable fabrics. For Men: Lightweight, formal suits are welcome and encouraged. A Note on Footwear: The ceremony and cocktail hour take place outdoors on grass, so best to avoid stiletto heels. The rest of the evening will be indoors on solid flooring. Please plan your footwear accordingly!
