FAQs
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Bright colors encouraged! We want to see you shine in patterns, tasteful sequins, and feathers! Think kitschy, bold, and funky! Please no black or white dresses. Men, think floral or patterned button ups, fun ties and bowties. If you need inspiration, Sarah has created a Pinterest board for help! https://www.pinterest.com/svrahmorris/wedding-guest-outfit-inspo/
Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
The catamaran will depart promptly at 4:00 pm, please arrive at 3:30 pm to allow time for parking and to get situated on the boat. We are on a strict timeline for the departure, so guests not on the boat by 3:55 will unfortunately be left behind.
Question
Where is the ceremony and reception taking place?
Answer
The ceremony will take place on Fury Catamaran docked at Vilano Beach Pier (boarding for the boat is next to Beaches restaurant). The catamaran travels by St. Augustine bay front and a brief trip to sea. The reception will be held at Cafe 11 in St. Augustine Beach promptly after leaving the boat.
Question
Will food and drinks be served on the catamaran?
Answer
Beer, wine, Coke products, and water will be served during the two hour catamaran sail. Dinner will be provided at Cafe 11 for the reception starting at 6:30 pm. Please plan a late lunch or snack before the ceremony so you're not celebrating on an empty stomach :)
Question
Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
The ceremony will take place on the sailing catamaran outdoors. There are some covered areas on the boat, but majority will be uncovered and in the afternoon sun. The reception will take place indoors at Cafe 11 with some tables outdoors, but under covering.
Question
Will there be parking available?
Answer
Select parking is available at the dock and down the road leading up to the pier, but limited. DO NOT PARK AT PUBLIX AND DO NOT PARK AT THE BEACHES RESTAURANT, YOU WILL BE TOWED. We would advise car pooling together or taking an Uber or Lyft. Please do not wait until last minute to arrive to the dock. The boat will set sail promptly at 4:00 pm and those not on board will be left behind. There is plenty of parking at Cafe 11.
Question
Are kids invited?
Answer
Tiny sequins and feather boas are adorable, but this time the dance floor belongs to the grown-ups. Due to space, only guests named on your invitation are able to attend.
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
As much as we’d love to welcome everyone, space on the boat is limited. We can only accommodate the guests listed on your invitation.
Question
Is the ceremony unplugged?
Answer
We’d love for you to be fully present with us during the ceremony. Please put your phones and cameras away and let our photographers work their magic. After “I do,” feel free to snap away and capture the fun!
Question
Will there be dancing/entertainment?
Answer
Of course! We will have a DJ and a wide open dance floor at the reception! Music will be played on the boat after the ceremony to enjoy cocktail hour!
Question
Will the boat be moving the whole time?
Answer
Yes, the boat will be sailing the duration of the ceremony. It's a smooth, easy sail through the bay front of downtown St. Augustine. Sarah is prone to motion sickness and even she did fine on the trial run!
Question
Is there an open bar?
Answer
YES! Beer and wine!
