Do you have a registry?
Yes! While not required or expected, we have created a registry on The Knot (this website!) to help with some of our honeymoon expenses. Lord knows with three kids; we barely ever have time with just the two of us, so we are definitely looking forward to it. We have our registry linked under the "Registry" tab for convenience.
Are children allowed to come?
Yes of course! All I ask is that you let me know in advance, so I have enough kid kits and seats at the "kid table".
How do I RSVP?
Along with a formal invitation, you should be receiving an RSVP card with a QR code.
If you are not "tech savvy", just call or text me. It's that simple! We would appreciate you RSVPing by December 15th, 2024, to allow time to finalize seating and vendor counts.
Where do I park?
The Bishop has ample parking directly in front of the museum. It will be specific for use for our wedding. There is also a parking garage directly across the street, free of charge.
Will the wedding be outside or inside?
Ceremony, Cocktail Hour and Reception are planned for outdoors. In the event that there is inclement weather, we will obviously make adjustments as we see fit and conducive. Even though this event is in Florida, February does tend to get chilly in the evening this time of year. Please dress accordingly. We will have patio heaters at the reception.
Please note, the Ceremony and Reception will proceed within the courtyard. The Cocktail Hour will be held in the Loggia, located in the front of the museum. You will be directed by signage and event coordinators for your convenience.
Is there a room block?
Yes, we have rooms blocked off for our wedding guests at the new Compass Hotel Anna Maria Sound by Margaritaville, which is located approximately 15 minutes from the venue. I will be attaching the room block link under Travel.

Is there a Dress Code
Formal wear! My only request is that no one wears white, ivory, or cream-colored attire, as my bridal party will be wearing this color scheme. TIA!
I have more/personal questions about your wedding, who can I contact?
Hannah! Please, only contact her, because we all know what happens when we rely on men for information...
Day of the Wedding:
Angelina Grandinetti (MOH): phone number will be listed week of.
Natalie Feliciano (Event Planner - Felic Events): phone number will be listed week of.
What time should I arrive?
Ceremony will be starting at 5:30 pm, so preferably any time before then.
Where is the Ceremony and Reception?
Our wedding will be held in the courtyard of the Bishop Museum. There will be signs, vendors, and an event coordinators/planner that will guide you after you park. Conveniently, the reception and ceremony will be in the same place. The cocktail hour will be the only time you will go to a different part of the museum.
Will there be transportation?
Because the entire event will be held at the same location all evening, transportation will only be necessary to/from resort and venue. I would recommend carpooling and Uber, which can be arranged ahead of time.
Where should I sit?
Feel free to sit anywhere except the first row for the ceremony (this will be reserved for bride and grooms' parents and immediate family). Following the cocktail hour, we will have signage posted with the seating chart for reception.
What time does the wedding end/should I leave?
The event is scheduled to end at 10:30-11 pm, if schedule is followed within a 30-minute time frame. We have a DJ, who will make last call announcements, and inform guests when the wedding is coming to an end.
When will we eat?
Cocktail hour will be a great time to grab a small bite to hold you over. We will have charcuterie and fruit displays that will be self-served.
Dinner is scheduled to be served at around 7:30 pm, as long as there are no unforeseen events or issues. This time is, of course, tentative. Dessert will follow at around 8:45 pm.
What if I have a dietary requirement/restriction?
We have worked our menu to include gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options. Please contact us directly if you have a different request or requirement outside of these!
Will you have a bar/ alcohol?
Yes! We have hired a spectacular vendor that boasts an impressive resume of events and years of experience.
This will be an open bar, and I have opted to allow them a tip jar. If you enjoy your drink and service, please let them know by tipping! As a host, I will be tipping as well.
We have chosen to only offer wine and beer. This was due in part by the fact that most guests seemed to only request this.
Can I take photos?
YES! We want any and all photos and videos you can take! We have hired a photographer, but he can't be everywhere at once! The best part of our wedding is YOU. We want to see our special day played out from your perspective. We will be providing cards on each seat with a QR code that can be used to upload any personal photos right into our Google account.
Additionally, we will have a photobooth as well.
