Welcome Party — Tropical Cocktail Colorful, fun, and island-inspired! For women, think cocktail or midi dresses, matching sets, and playful prints or colors. For men, think linen or lightweight trousers with a button-down or polo. Jackets are optional. Feel free to lean into the tropical setting! Wedding — Coastal Formal For women, we encourage midi or floor-length dresses in bright colors, prints, or elevated fabrics. Please note the ceremony will take place on the sand. For men, suits are encouraged in lighter colors and breathable fabrics — think linen or lightweight tailoring in tan, blue, green, or other coastal tones. Ties are optional. Please no shorts or overly casual beachwear. Most importantly, have fun with it! We’d love to see color and personality.
We love your little ones! Our wedding ceremony and reception will be adults-only, but children are more than welcome to join us for the Welcome Party on Thursday evening.

Yes, both Uber and Lyft are available on Marco Island. Due to the size of the island, availability can be limited at times, so we recommend giving yourself a little extra time when requesting a ride.
