FAQs

Question

What time should I arrive to the ceremony?

Answer

We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before the official ceremony starts at 5:30pm so you can settle in before the proceedings.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We would love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day! Dress code is formal attire. Gentleman can wear a suit and tie. Ladies can wear floor-length, tea-length, or midi formal dresses.

Question

Will the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception take place indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony and cocktail hour will be outdoors, while the reception will mostly occur indoors. All guests will also have access to the courtyard throughout the event.

Question

How do I get to the wedding venue? Will transportation be provided?

Answer

As Newport has many awesome places to stay and guests will be staying all over, we will not be providing transportation to the venue. Parking is available onsite.

Question

Is parking available at the wedding venue?

Answer

Yes! Valet parking is available on site for $20 per car. Make sure to mention that you are attending our wedding!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate the guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP. Thank you for understanding!

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP no later than July 1st.

Question

What do I do if I can't make it?

Answer

You will be missed! If you cannot make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP "not attending" so we can plan accordingly. Thank you!

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

Answer

We are having an unplugged ceremony, meaning that once the ceremony begins, we ask that phones be put away and silenced. We want everyone to be fully present with us and our photographer and videographer will capture the moments which we will absolutely share with you. Our officiant will remind you of this at the ceremony!

Question

If I am coming from out of town, where should I stay?

Answer

Newport and the surrounding towns have so many places to choose from. We recommend booking ASAP as it is Newport's busy season.

Question

What are some things to do in Newport?

Answer

Newport, Rhode Island, is a charming coastal city known for its rich history, stunning architecture, and scenic beauty. Some of our recommendations to see are: visit the mansions, explore the cliff walk, tour the international tennis hall of fame, stroll down Thames street, take a harbor tour, visit Fort Adams state park, explore the Newport Art Museum, go to the beaches, and get a mudslide at The Black Pearl! We encourage you to spend as much time as you can in Newport!

Question

Will there be an after party?

Answer

We plan to keep the party going afterwards! After party plans will be determined closer to our wedding date.
