Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Yes! By all means, let us know if you have any allergies or other dietary restrictions. Your RSVP form has a field to input this information, but please let us know if you have any other dietary needs that are not captured in your RSVP.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Most hotels in Cape Cod do not allow block reservations, so we have instead compiled a list of several recommended hotels which you can find in the Travel section of our website. If none of these fit your needs, we recommend you look on AirBnB, Vrbo, Booking.com, or other online vendors to find suitable accommodation in the vicinity.

Question

What weather do you expect?

Answer

The weather on Cape Cod can be unpredictable and change quickly. The average high temperature for June 14 is 74° F (23° C) and the average low is 58° F (14° C). On average there is a 26% chance of rain on June 14. As the venue is located along the coast, you can also expect some wind. Due to the chance of rain, wind, and cooler temperatures in the evening, we suggest everyone check the weather regularly on the day before and the day of the ceremony and bring appropriate clothing such as a jacket.

Question

Wedding Registry

Answer

Your presence at our wedding is the best gift we could ask for. If you would like to give a gift, however, you can view the Registry page on our website.

We have hired a professional photographer and videographer for the wedding. You are welcome to take photos throughout the evening, but we ask that during the ceremony itself you take a few moments to be present with us and put away your phones and cameras. Thank you.
