Our wedding ceremony is located in a public park. After you pay the park entrance fee, you will drive down until you see a sign that says, "Bald Cypress Live Oak, Royal Poinciana." At this sign, you will turn right and drive until the end. You will see an entire parking space surrounding two yellow open canopies. That is how you will know you are in the right place! In front of the restroom, you will see a bridge. Cross it and you will be at our ceremony!
While we permit guests to take photos and videos during the ceremony, we kindly request for guests to be as present as possible.
Please RSVP through the wedding invite. Click on either "Will attend," or "Will not attend."
To our friends and family in Brazil, as well as those who will not be able to attend, we will work on making sure the wedding is recorded live for you. More details will come regarding a link where you can access the wedding ceremony live.
We do have a wedding registry as well as a honeymoon fund! It will be linked on this website and on the wedding invite for easy access.
The reception will end promptly at 10:00 p.m. since the restaurant will close at this time.
There will be no alcohol served at any point during the wedding or reception.
The front and first few rows will be reserved for immediate family and the bridal party. Other than that, feel free to sit where you are most comfortable.
Since the ladies will be walking on a bridge and grass, stilettos would not be advised. Wear something comfortable!
The weather in Florida can be very unpredictable. Having a ceremony outside means there may be a risk for rain. It may also be warmer during that time. We encourage guests to bring umbrellas or hand fans, and we will work on providing these items for you on the day of the ceremony as well.
