We would love all of our guests to try to arrive on Friday, April 26th, if possible! Hotel check-in begins at 4 PM . A welcome cocktail hour will be held at the hotel bar from 3:30-5:30 PM. This will give us a chance to say hello and welcome you to the weekend before the wedding chaos ensues! This will also ensure you have ample time to get ready for the wedding on Saturday, as an early check-in is not guaranteed. Of course, we understand if this is not possible and we are truly blessed that you are joining us for the wedding! Reach out to us with any questions/concerns!

For our non-Floridian guests, weather in Jacksonville this time of year is typically between 70-80 degrees F. April is a pleasantly warm time of year in North Florida with a gentle breeze.

The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception are all taking place at The Barn at Cottonwood Ranch. Weather permitting, the ceremony will be lakeside. The cocktail hour will be hosted on the covered patio and uncovered lawn. The reception will be held in the air-conditioned barn.

Our ceremony begins promptly at 3:30 in the afternoon on Saturday, April 27. The venue will begin welcoming guests at 3:00 PM. Please plan to arrive no earlier than 3:00 PM and no later than 3:20 PM to allow time to find your seat. If you arrive after the ceremony has begun, our coordinator will escort you to the patio where you may view the "I Do" without disrupting the ceremony and join us to celebrate at cocktail hour. Information on shuttle departure from the hotel to the venue will be provided upon check-in.

Attire for this event is formal. Please, no jeans or bold patterns. For ladies, a midi or floor length dress is appropriate. For the gents, please wear dress slacks and jacket/suit. Use this as an excuse to get dressed up and update that profile picture! For the gals - the venue has a heel-friendly pavered aisle and patio area, so you will have just a short walk in the grass to your seat for the ceremony. We ask that our guests avoid wearing colors typically reserved for the bride and bridal party - white, cream, ivory, champagne, etc.

Please consider using our arranged transportation to and from the venue, as alcohol will be served. However, if you decide to drive, parking is available at the venue and a golf cart shuttle service is provided to the ceremony location. Please note that the barn is located approximately 1.5 miles down a dirt road through beautiful Florida scenery from the gated entrance of the ranch. Signs will be placed for your assistance.

We will only be coordinating transportation from the DoubleTree. Please reach out if you have questions regarding the accommodations provided.

Please note that Uber/Lyft will not drop off or pick up from the venue. The venue is located approximately 1.5 miles down a dirt road past the entrance to the ranch.

Due to limited space and vendor restrictions, we are only allowed to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. During the online RSVP process, all names in your party are provided for you to mark as absent or attending.

Yes, if your family was addressed on the invitation, we would love to celebrate with your entire family, however, if you want to enjoy an adults-only weekend, we understand that too! We will reach out separately to coordinate kids meals and other accommodations!

We are asking that you join us for an unplugged ceremony - let our photographer do the work! After the ceremony, snap away. Are hashtags still a thing? Use #Lucky2BLongueil to document the party!

Is this even a question - the drinks are on us, the hangovers are on you! We will have a fully stocked bar and craft cocktails. Please bring cash tips for our bartenders!

Yes! The last call at the venue will be served at 9:45pm. Our reception will end at 10:00 pm. At the end of the reception, we will have transportation arranged for return to the DoubleTree Hotel. The after party will be located in the hotel bar area immediately upon return to the hotel until 1 AM and will have a cash bar.

Upon receiving our formal invitation a few months out from the wedding, please RSVP using the "RSVP" tab of our website, which will become available after invitations have been sent. It will direct you to enter your name, your RSVP, and some follow-up questions!

In order for us to meet vendor final count deadlines to best accommodate our guests, we are requesting responses by March 30th, 2024. If your response if not received by this deadline, unfortunately we will not be able to accommodate you.

When you RSVP, there will be a section for you to describe food allergies you may have. Our caterer has assured us he will be able to accommodate food allergies to ensure our guests are as comfortable as possible. If there are multiple people in your RSVP party, don’t forget to specify who has the allergy!

Once our registry is curated, it will be available for viewing as a section on this website.
