Where is the ceremony and reception taking place in Aruba?

The ceremony and reception will be taking place on the beach at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. We will be planning to have a hardwood dance floor. But, otherwise, you will be in the sand.

What time should I arrive to the ceremonies?

The ceremony at church will start at 1:30 pm and the ceremony in Aruba will start at 5:30 pm. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to either ceremony to take your seat.

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Our ceremony will be "unplugged", meaning that we are asking for personal devices to be put away during the ceremony. We have a wonderful photographer and videographer and will be more than happy to share the photos and video with you afterwards. At the reception, we encourage everyone to take photos and please share those with us as you're able!

What is the dress code for church?

Aim for a semi-formal attire. Please refrain from wearing white. Feel free to change into a more comfortable outfit for the brewery- Jackie and Chris will be :)

What is the dress code for Aruba?

Beach Cocktail attire. Aim for a polished look that is comfortable for the beach. We recommend lightweight fabrics. Women can wear a sundress, maxi/midi dress, or jumpsuit. Pair this with heels or dressy flats/sandals. We will have a shoe valet for when you are on the beach. Please refrain from wearing white. Men can wear a lightweight suit or khakis with a dress shirt. Dress shorts are also an option, but please do not wear denim. Appropriate footwear includes nice loafers or boat shoes.

What color is the bridal party wearing?

The bridesmaids will be in shades of blue and the groomsmen will be wearing tan/beige suits in Aruba. The bridesmaids will be wearing green for our ceremony in CT and the groomsmen will be wearing black.

Can I bring a date?

Due to limited space, 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! However, due to limited space, we are only able to have the kids in our immediate family and those in our bridal party at the wedding in Aruba. We encourage you to plan this as a family vacation and enjoy the evening as a date night! If your child is invited, it will specifically list them when you RSVP. All kids are welcome to come to the church and brewery for our ceremony in CT.

Will there be transportation?

If you are not staying at the Hyatt, there are taxis easily accessible. Alternatively, you could rent a car and park at the Hyatt for free. We will not be coordinating any additional transportation since we are hoping you will stay at the Hyatt with us.

When do I need to RSVP by?

Please RSVP by March 21st for the church and brewery and April 1st for Aruba. We will not be able to accept late responses as we have deadlines for coordinating with our vendors. So, please make sure to respond on time! Thank you for understanding.
