2:30 pm - 4:00 pm
OUTDO THE BRIDE AND GROOM — if you dare. Embrace bold prints, vibrant color, and statement looks. If you’re wondering, “Is this too much?” it probably isn’t. We want you to wear something that makes you feel like a million bucks. After all, you are in Naples. Beach-friendly shoes and sandals are encouraged (feel free to kick your shoes off and put your toes in the sand). White within patterns or prints is welcome, but please avoid solid white attire. No jeans, please…you’re at the beach.
Beach Ceremony Guest Arrival: 2:30 PM Please allow time for parking and walking to the ceremony location. We recommend arriving early to get settled and enjoy the view. Public beach access is at 1st Ave South. Parking will available at First United Methodist Church (388 1st Ave S) approximately two blocks away. Just park at the church, and head straight to the beach!
5:00 pm - 10:00 pm
After we say “I do” on the beach, the celebration keeps going at The Speakeasy on Marco Island. Think incredible Italian food, cocktails, candlelight, live music, and a dance floor that we will have packed! This is not a traditional, structured reception - it’s relaxed, real, and meant to feel like one big celebration with our favorite people. Cocktail hour and reception begin at 5:00 PM, with the band starting at 6:00 PM. The venue is about 30 minutes from the ceremony location, so plan for a scenic ride over. We encourage carpooling, as parking is limited, arrive easy, arrive together, and get ready to celebrate hard!!!
