We're thrilled to have our closest friends and family join us for our special occasion on Memorial Day weekend. Encouraging you to make this a fun and memorable vacation and extend your stay to enjoy the ambiance of this unique, historical island. We hope you love it as much as we do!
What should i expect on a holiday weekend?
Jekyll Island will be bustling with activities! Expect congestion and extended wait times on the 2 lane causeway. As a state park, there is a $10 entrance fee required. Cash will mean a faster entry.
Advising you to stay on the island, arrive early, (and stay late)! Please book your hotel, bike rentals, etc. ASAP.
WHERE DO I STAY?
On the island! We strongly recommend the Jekyll Island Club Resort and San Souci which are walking distance to our venue. Please refer to the "Accommodations" tab for more details and room blocks.
What time should i arrive?
The ceremony will begin at 4:00 pm sharp. Please arrive 20 -30 minutes prior to allow time to find your seat. If you are staying at the Jekyll Island Club Resort, the venue is a short walk away.
HOW DOES PARKING WORK?
The Jekyll Island Club Resort provides valet parking and all other recommended accommodations include parking. In order to ensure everyone has a fun and safe evening, we will be providing shuttle transportation to guests that are not staying at the Jekyll Island Club and Resort. Please see below for details on the pick-up location.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT FOR DAY OF TRANSPORTATION?
We recommend using your hotel's provided shuttle service, but in the event that it's not provided, we're providing a shuttle service. The shuttle will start running at 3:00 pm sharp and the last bus departs at 3:40 pm in consideration of holiday traffic. The shuttle will pick up outside of the Jekyll Island Convention Center adjacent to the Great Dunes parking lot.
Will the ceremony be indoors or outdoors?
The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will all be held outdoors.
What is the dress code?
Get fancy with us! Ladies, please wear floor-length or formal midi dresses avoiding shades of white. Gentlemen, a tuxedo or suit and tie is appropriate. We can’t wait to boogie with each of you in your snazzy attire!
What shoes are recommended for women?
The wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will be outside in the grass. To avoid damaging your cute stilettos or any injuries, we recommend a chunk heel, wedge, or heel covers (purchased on amazon).
CAN I BRING A GUEST/DATE?
We are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP. Thank you for understanding!
Are kids invited?
We love your little ones, but we can only accommodate children who are specifically named on the invitation.
Can i take pictures during the ceremony?
We are having an unplugged ceremony, meaning that once the ceremony begins, we ask that all phones be put away and silenced. We want everyone to be fully present with us - no distractions. Once the ceremony is over, please feel free to take as many pictures as you like - just don't forget to share them with us!
