CABS (Not Recommended)
While you may be able to convince a cab to drive you to the farm, it is unlikely that you will be able to call a cab to pick you up. We highly recommend that guests drive or take shuttles to the venue. We will have a shuttle available at all times in case of emergencies.
Attire
The attire for the wedding is formal. We recommend that women wear flats or wedges as the event takes place on grass. Guests should plan to bring a light jacket or shawl as the temperature will drop moderately when the sun sets.
Please stop by our home for a bite and a breakfast cocktail to say goodbye to the newlyweds before you depart the island. The festivities begin at 10AM and run through the early afternoon.
The house is located in the Hidden Cove development. As you enter the development you will see tennis courts on your left. Take the first left at the stop sign, just past the courts. We are the second house on the right.
