Q&A

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

We recommend arriving at the ceremony venue 15 minutes before the start time. This will ensure you have plenty of time to find your seat and settle in comfortably. To avoid disrupting the ceremony, please plan to arrive on time. When traveling, especially through New York City on a Thursday, we suggest allowing an extra 30 minutes to account for potential traffic delays.

Question

Is the wedding indoors or outdoor?

Answer

The ceremony will be outdoors (weather permitting) with the reception to follow indoors.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Our wedding is black tie formal. For women, this means a floor-length gown or a formal cocktail dress in elegant fabrics (think satin, chiffon, or silk). For men, a tuxedo or a dark suit with a tie or bow tie is appropriate. Since it’s a summer wedding, lightweight or breathable fabrics are perfectly fine to keep things comfortable while still looking polished. ✨ Important: White, ivory, and cream are reserved for the bride and are not permitted. Guests wearing these colors will be denied entry. Thank you for helping us keep the vision of our day beautiful and elegant.

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

Answer

We kindly request that guests do not take photos during the event. We have professional photographers to capture every moment so we can unplug and enjoy!

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

You already know it! 🥂 Yes, open bar all night — please drink responsibly and dance freely!

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes, convenient parking is available at our venue, with professional valet service.

Question

Do you have a hotel block for guests?

Answer

Yes! We've reserved a hotel block for our guests at the Courtyard Westbury and you can find all the details on our travel page. We've also included additional hotel options to help make your stay comfortable and convenient.

Question

What’s the best airport to fly into?

Answer

For your convenience, we recommend flying into John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) or LaGuardia Airport (LGA), both approximately 30 minutes from our venue and hotel. If you're not planning to rent a car, we suggest avoiding Newark Liberty International Airport, as it is over an hour away from our location, not accounting for potential traffic.

Question

How should I RSVP?

Answer

To RSVP, simply visit our wedding website's dedicated RSVP page and submit your response by March 1, 2026. While this helps us with our initial planning, please note that official invitations will be sent separately. If we do not receive your online response, we will consider it a decline.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

To ensure we can create an intimate and meaningful celebration, we kindly request that only guests specifically named on your invitation join us. We appreciate your understanding as we curate a special day with our closest loved ones.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we love your little ones, our celebration will be adults-only, with the exception of close family and members of the bridal party. We hope you enjoy a well-deserved night out to relax, dance, and celebrate with us! ✨

Question

Can I change my RSVP later?

Answer

If something comes up, please reach out to us as soon as possible — we totally understand that life happens!

Question

Do you have a wedding registry?

Answer

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all! For those who wish to bless us further as we begin this new chapter, we are graciously accepting monetary gifts to help us build our future together — whether that’s creating our home or planning our next adventure as newlyweds.

Question

Is there a wedding hashtag?

Yes! We’d love for you to share your photos using #ForeverLloyd so we can relive every special moment through your eyes. 💕
