FAQs
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Evening attire is required — so dress to impress. We encourage guests to dress for a candlelit evening by the water. Gentleman must wear a blazer or sport coat with long pants, such as dress slacks or khakis. Ladies should wear formal or semi-formal dress wear, such as floor- or cocktail- length gowns, elegant midi dresses in luxe fabrics, sophisticated pantsuits, or tailored jumpsuits. (Translation: polished, elevated, not beachy.)

Question
Will there be dancing?
Answer
There won’t be a dance floor. The evening is designed as a relaxed, seated dinner with conversation, great food, and music playing throughout. Think of this as a lavish dinner party celebrating love and bringing together the Leonard and Gagosz families, along with some friends.

The celebration will take place indoors, with views of the Newport Harbor.
