Question

Unplugged & In the Moment — Our Ceremony Request

Answer

We kindly ask that you join us for an unplugged ceremony — meaning no phones or cameras during this special moment. Please turn off ringtones (vibrate is totally fine!) and tuck your phone away so it doesn’t sneak into the shots captured by our amazing professional photographers. We want you to fully be in the moment with us as we say “I do.” Don’t worry — we’ve hired a great team to document it all, and we promise to share the photos as soon as we have them! 📸 After the ceremony we’d LOVE for you to take and post as many pictures and videos as you’d like! A QR code will be available for easy sharing, and don’t forget to tag your memories with our hashtag: #newlyvreds

Question

Will there be transportation from the hotel to the wedding venue?

Answer

Bohemia Overlook wants their guest to have a good time and be safe! You may leave your car overnight at the venue, however you WILL NEED to pick up your car the next day by 10 AM (and not a second later than that, or it will get towed or ticketed!). We are currently working out transportation details for a shuttle! More details to come early February 2026.
