WHERE IS THE WEDDING?

We are getting married at Venue 1902 at Preservation Hall in Sanford, FL (approximately 20-30 minutes outside of East Orlando); 301 W 7th Street- Sanford, FL 32771. We have reserved the entire venue for our wedding. Venue 1902 at Preservation Hall is a historic schoolhouse that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Venue 1902 was once the Sanford Grammar School, and also formerly the Sanford High School and the Margaret K. Reynolds Building. It was erected in, you guessed it, 1902! We love the unique charm and sophistication that this venue has to offer.

WHEN ARE RSVP'S DUE?

We would love to know if you can make it ASAP! However, please RSVP by September 10, 2022. Any RSVPs not received by this date will be considered an RSVP of "no". If this date has passed and you wish to attend (or vice versa), please email daly.erikaj@gmail.com and we will try our best to accommodate you.

ARE KIDS INVITED?

We love your little ones- we really do! However, we are having an "Adults Only" wedding, so consider this your night off! Thank you for understanding!

CAN I BRING A GUEST?

We are keeping our wedding as intimate as possible and are unable to accommodate a +1 for every guest. If your invitation says "and guest", then yes! If not, we appreciate you arriving solo and are grateful for your understanding!

WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?

Semi-formal/cocktail attire, please! Suits, dark jackets, long dresses, and cocktail dressed are welcome. Our ceremony and a portion of our cocktail hour will be outdoors, so please choose your attire (ladies, consider your shoes) wisely!

WHO DO I CONTACT ON THE DAY OF THE WEDDING IF I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

Short Answer: anybody that is not the bride or groom! If you have any questions the day before/day of the wedding, please do not contact the happy couple-to-be. Instead, our bridal party and day-of-coordinator will be happy to assist!

IS THERE PARKING AT THE VENUE?

Yes! There is complimentary valet parking provided to all guests upon arrival. We know how stressful parking can be, and want to start the day off right! If you plan on enjoying our open bar and joining us for bar-hopping after the affair is complete, please consider using a ride-share service (Uber/Lyft), as we want you safe!

WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE?

We will begin welcoming our guests at 3:40pm (please no earlier), and our ceremony will start promptly at 4:00pm. Please plan to arrive at least 10-15 minutes early to allow for parking time and walking to the ceremony area.

DO YOU HAVE ANY HOTEL SUGGESTIONS?

Yes! There are plenty of options in the surrounding areas, no matter your preference. You can find information regarding possible lodging under the "Travel" tab on our website.

ARE YOU REGISTERED, AND IF SO, WHERE?

Yes, we are! Our registry information can be found in the "Registry" tab on our website. We have registered at Amazon, but welcome monetary gifts in the event that this is easier for you. Thank you for your generosity! Amazon Link: https://www.amazon.com/wedding/share/goodtobegroothouse

WHAT ABOUT THE WEATHER?

Whelp, we live in Florida and know the weather can change at any moment. Generally, October evenings are cool and comfortable, though some years it is a tad chilly. If you become cold easily, it may benefit you to bring a light sweater/jacket. If as the BIG DAY approaches and it appears it may rain, we have the option to hold the entire event from start-finish indoors. The plan: stay dry, stay comfortable!

ARE THERE OTHER WEDDING EVENTS THAT WE ARE INVITED TO?

YES! Part of the appeal of the venue we selected is the close proximity to Downtown Sanford. Please feel free to join us for a casual bar crawl to some of our favorite spots after the wedding has concluded! The more the merrier, cheers to that!

CAN I TAKE/POST PICTURES OF THE WEDDING ON SOCIAL MEDIA?

Kinda? We are having an "unplugged ceremony" and therefore request you have your phones off/on silent and tucked away during the entire ceremony. We promise to share all of the incredible photos from our photographer afterwards! Once the ceremony is complete, take as many photos/videos as your heart desires; you will have plenty of opportunities throughout the cocktail hour and reception. Please use the hashtag #GoodToBeGroothouse, so we can easily find and enjoy your photos!
