Question

We kindly ask guests to dress in formal attire for our celebration. Suits are encouraged for men, and for women, a maxi or midi dress or an elevated cocktail dress would be perfect!
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
We'd love to celebrate with everyone, but due to capacity and limited space, please refer to the names listed on your invitation.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
As much as we love your little ones, we will not be including them in the ceremony or reception.
Question
What will the weather be like?
Answer
Our wedding will be mostly indoors, with a 30-minute ceremony on a covered outdoor deck. Late October in Virginia Beach is usually mild, with daytime highs in the upper 60s and cooler evenings in the 50s. Occasionally we’re treated to a perfect 70-degree day — fingers crossed! We’ll provide a detailed forecast closer to the wedding.
Question
Will transportation be provided?
Answer
Yes, transportation will be provided from the Delta Marriott Hotel on Shore Drive. Shuttle service to The Lesner Inn will begin at 3:30 PM, ensuring guests arrive before the 4:00 PM ceremony. At the conclusion of the evening, shuttles will begin returning guests to the hotel starting at 10:00 PM.
Question
Where should I park at The Lesner Inn?
Answer
Guests are welcome to park on-site in the Lesner Inn lot upon arrival. They do not offer valet service, but they do have a parking attendant on-site to help direct guests and keep things flowing. Guests may leave their car overnight if needed, but it must be picked up by 8:00 AM the next morning to avoid towing. Additionally, guests staying at local hotels should contact their hotel directly to confirm parking fees, as most properties in this resort area charge for parking.
Question
Are the ceremony and reception locations wheelchair accessible?
Answer
Yes! An elevator is available for guests who may need assistance.
Question
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Answer
Our wedding ceremony is outdoors, but under a covered deck. Cocktail hour and reception are both indoors! You will be able to access the outdoor deck at any time throughout the reception if you'd like to check out the view of the inlet at night!
Question
What time should I arrive to the Lesner Inn?
Answer
The doors will open at 3:30 PM on Saturday, October 24. We kindly ask guests to arrive at least 15–20 minutes before the ceremony so everyone can be seated and we can begin on time.
Question
Is it okay to take pictures during the wedding?
Answer
Yes! We would love for you to take photos and share them during the cocktail hour and reception. However, please refrain from taking photos during the ceremony.
Question
What if I have a dietary restriction/allergy?
Answer
If you have any allergies or dietary restrictions, please reach out and let us know! We’ll be happy to accommodate you and ensure you have a meal you can enjoy!
