FAQs
Question
Why Miami?
Answer
We knew from the start we wanted to shake things up and do something a little different. While a small, intimate island ceremony was tempting, we just couldn’t bring ourselves to cut our guest list short. We understand that traveling down the coast for a wedding isn’t always ideal, but this felt like the perfect compromise. We fell in love with Miami’s vibrant energy, beautiful beaches, and unforgettable vibe—and we hope you will too! We know asking you to meet us here is a big ask, but we hope the early notice gives you plenty of time to plan ahead. We can’t wait to celebrate together in this special place.
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
Since this is a destination celebration, we’d be so grateful for your RSVP by August 1 (Bride Taylor's Birthday - the best gift she could receive is an "Accepts". This helps us plan all the details and make sure your experience is smooth and unforgettable!
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
We kindly request black-tie optional/formal attire for our celebration. This means you’re welcome to go all out with a tuxedo or formal gown, but a dark suit and tie or a cocktail-length dress is perfectly appropriate too. We’re aiming for an elevated and elegant vibe—think classic, polished, and celebratory. We do ask that guests avoid casual clothing like jeans, cargo shorts, and sneakers. And (not that it needs to be said)... white is reserved for the bride. We can’t wait to celebrate with you in style!
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
Guests are welcome to begin arriving at 5:00 PM. The ceremony will begin promptly at 5:30 PM. Please plan to arrive on time—the gates will close at the start of the ceremony, and unfortunately, late arrivals will not be permitted entry until cocktail hour begins. We appreciate your understanding.

Are kids welcome?

Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
We want all of our guests to feel comfortable and celebrated, so we’re doing our best to ensure that everyone is permitted a plus-one. If your envelope is addressed to you and a guest, you’re all set to bring someone along! If your invitation is addressed to a family name, we kindly ask that you reach out to the brides before bringing an additional guest—just to make sure we’re all on the same page and our chefs have an accurate head count.

What will the weather be like?

Miami in late October usually offers warm, pleasant weather around 5:30 PM, with temperatures typically ranging from the mid-70s to low 80s°F. The ceremony and cocktail hour will take place outside and the reception occurs indoors with air conditioning if the Miami heat tries to crash the party—so you can keep cool while cutting loose on the dance floor!
Question
Can I take photos?
Answer
We fell in love with the scenery and all that our venue had to offer. While we want you to capture its beauty and the fun memories yet to be made, we respectfully ask for an unplugged ceremony. Our ceremony will be unplugged, meaning we kindly ask guests to put away phones, cameras, and other devices. We want everyone to be fully present and to ensure our professional photographer can capture the moments without distraction. We’ve hired an amazing photographer who will beautifully document the day — so please leave the photo-taking to the pro and avoid blocking any important shots during the ceremony portion of our event. Thank you for helping us make this moment truly special!
