FAQs

Question

Can I bring my kids?

Answer

We love your kids, but to allow all guests to relax and enjoy themselves, we have chosen to make our special day adults-only. Thank you for understanding and we hope you can still celebrate with us!

Question

Will the ceremony take place indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Everything will be outdoors! The ceremony and reception will be taking place on the waterfront lawn, while the cocktail hour will be on the outdoor deck.

Question

Will there be an open or cash bar?

Answer

Our wedding will have an OPEN BAR. It will also be heavily photographed and any drunken shenanigans will be mocked for years to come. Please proceed with caution ;)

Question

Will there be parking?

Answer

Yes! The venue offers complimentary parking for any wedding guests.

Question

When is the RSVP due by?

Answer

Please kindly have your RSVP in by SUNDAY MARCH 9, 2025. Everyone is more than welcome and encouraged to do so earlier. The sooner the better for us and our vendors. Any RSVP's not received by this date will be marked as a 'no', as we will be sending the final headcount to vendors shortly after this deadline. Thank you and we can't wait to celebrate with you all!

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

We appreciate all of our friends and family who wish to be present on our wedding day. Unfortunately, due to limited seating, we are only able to accommodate the name of the guest listed on the formal invitation, unless a plus one is stated.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

We want you to be comfortable! Our wedding will be a beach semi-formal attire event. No jeans please. For men: think linen or dress pants, button-ups, dress shoes. Jackets & ties are optional. For women: think dresses or dressy separates, like a nice top and bottoms. Our ceremony will take place on the grass – please bear this in mind when choosing footwear and dress comfortably Please refrain from wearing ivory or white.

Question

Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?

Answer

We invite you to be truly present during this special moment with us, so we kindly request an unplugged ceremony, leaving all cameras and cell phones off until the reception. We have an experienced photographer capturing our day, and we will happily share our professional images with you after the wedding! Once the ceremony is over, feel free to take as many photos as you'd like!

Question

Do you have a registry?

Answer

Your presence is truly gift enough and we can't wait to see you. If you would still like to give us something, a contribution towards our honeymoon would be greatly appreciated. We have set up a HoneyFund on the "Registry" tab for all those who would like to gift us something. We love to travel and are excited to explore somewhere new for our honeymoon in the near future. Your generous contributions will help us create unforgettable memories as we start this new chapter of our lives. Please note, The Knot does charge a 2.5% processing fee, so do not feel obligated to use this service. We appreciate your gifts in whatever form you choose to give them! We only set this up for your convenience if it is helpful. A card box will also be available at the wedding.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

We're thrilled that you'll be joining us for our special day! To ensure you have plenty of time to find your way and settle in, we recommend arriving around 4:30 PM. This will give you an opportunity to relax, mingle, and soak in the beautiful surroundings before the ceremony begins promptly at 5:00 PM.
