FAQs
Question
Is there parking at the ceremony & reception venues?
Answer
The most convenient option will be to park at Grayton Beach Catering's private parking located at 144 Clayton Lane, Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459. There will be a private shuttle taking guests to the chapel starting at 2:45 PM. After the ceremony, the shuttle will take guests to the reception venue. After the reception, the shuttle will take guests back to their vehicles at the private parking lot. The shuttle is only for guests of our wedding, so they can take as many trips as necessary to get all of the guests to and from. Another option is Seaside’s parking program - a parking app called Passport Parking. Parking rates will vary by day/time/time of year. Spaces can be limited depending on how busy Seaside is. https://homeownerscollection.com/things-to-do/amenities/paid-parking-seaside Lastly, on the west end of Seaside and east end of Watercolor just off of 30A is free public parking. It's just a short walk through Seaside: 20 Western Lake Dr, Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459.

We ask that everyone abide by a dress code along the lines of semi-formal. Keep in mind, it will be warm!

We want everyone to look their very best! :-) Ladies, please do not wear white. The reception is at an outside venue, so please feel free to bring a comfortable change of shoes.
Question

Answer
We will have a cocktail hour starting at 5pm until 6pm, but you are welcome to arrive any time after 5pm. The private shuttle can take guests to the reception after the ceremony.
Question
I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?
Answer
If you have any food allergies, please reach out when you RSVP so that we can make note and make the caterers aware.
Question
Am I allowed to bring a plus one?
Answer
Because of limited venue space, we unfortunately can't accommodate plus-ones beyond those named on the wedding invitation. We hope you understand our decision.
Question
Am I allowed to take photos at your wedding?
Answer
We would like an "unplugged" wedding ceremony, meaning we ask that you do not take any photos on your phone or on a camera during the ceremony. We will have a photographer getting all the perfect shots! You can take photos at the reception.
Question
Are kids invited?
Answer
Yes! We listed kids on the invites that would be considered old enough to have a plate to help solidify guest count for the catering. Even if your little one is not listed on your invite, they are welcome to come!
Question
Is smoking allowed?
Answer
Although our reception is outside, we ask that you don't smoke (including vaping) in the reception venue. We also ask that you don't smoke on the church grounds, either.
