Florida is now in Phase 3 of re-opening. Bars, theme parks and restaurants are now allowed to open at full capacity. Because of this, we believe we are able to hold our wedding with certain adjustments. Our venue is open-concept to allow for plenty of fresh air and social distancing as needed. We will keep your safety a priority and ask that you do the same by self-screening for COVID before attending our wedding. We will have masks available during the festivities and we strongly encourage their use when social distancing is not possible or when you are not eating/drinking. We will also have hand sanitizer available. Every day surrounding the pandemic brings new information, changes, and uncertainties. We understand if attending our wedding is not possible for you. Please know that while you will be greatly missed, we will continue to pray that you and your family remain healthy and strong during these difficult times.
Please RSVP by January 9th, 2021

We would love for all of our guests, including parents, to enjoy an evening of relaxation and celebration! We have chosen our wedding to feature adult only elements - including alcohol. We hope that this advanced notice will allow for you to join us on our day kid-free. We understand that during the pandemic it may not be possible to obtain child care and we also recognize that many of you have young children that you are unable to separate from. If this is the case, please know we would be more than happy for you to come as a family.
