When is the RSVP deadline?

Kindly RSVP by July 12th. If we do not hear from you by then, we will assume you are sadly unable to join us - you will be missed!

What time should I arrive?

Please plan to arrive by 4:00pm to park and get settled. The ceremony will start promptly at 4:30pm.

Where should I park?

There is plenty of parking at the venue, Lighthouse Sound.

Can I bring a date?

We will only be able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If we were able to give you a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP. We appreciate your understanding!

Are kids invited?

While we love your little ones, we will only be including a select few children who are immediate family. This will be designated on the invitation. We hope you will use our special day as an opportunity for a date night!

Outdoors or indoors?

The ceremony will be held outside overlooking the protected bay. We will have plenty of water available since we’ll be under the August sun. Cocktail hour will be a mix of outdoors and indoors. Dinner and reception will be indoors.

What should I wear?

We hope you will use this as an opportunity to dress up for a night out! We encourage "black tie optional" attire. Men: Suit and tie preferred. You are welcome to wear a tux, but this is not required. Women: formal dress, mid to floor length preferred. Any color is good (we encourage bright summery colors!), but no white, please as this should be reserved for the bride. However, we know not everyone has these options. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Is it okay to take photos?

Yes! We would love for you to take photos and share them with us afterwards. However, please refrain from taking photos during the ceremony. Our photographer, Jonathan Allen, will have beautiful photos of the ceremony which we will be happy to share with you.

Should we bring cash for the reception bar?

We have elected to have an open bar. However, cash tips are appreciated by our bar staff.

Will there be an after party?

Yes! Ocean City, MD is just around the corner from Lighthouse Sound, so we will plan to keep the night going after the reception. Stay tuned for more info.
