100 Days To Go!
What time should I arrive?
We recommend arriving at Our Lady Star of the Sea no later than 1:15pm to be seated on time for our ceremony.
Is there a dress code?
We are requesting Black-Tie Optional for our wedding. Feel free to wear your best, a tuxedo or floor-length gown if you wish, but a suit or an elegant cocktail dress will also be perfectly appropriate. We kindly ask that you refrain from wearing colors traditionally reserved for the bride - whites, ivories, or cream.
Are the events indoors or outdoors?
Our ceremony and our reception are both indoors.
May I bring a guest?
Unfortunately, due to the venue’s limited space, we will only be able to accommodate those listed on your invitation.
Are children welcome at the wedding?
We love kids! However, we encourage a parent’s night out! Our event will be 18+ with the exception of close family of the bride and groom.
Is there parking available at the venue?
Parking is available for our ceremony at Our Lady Star of the Sea, but there is limited parking at the reception venue, so we do recommend carpooling or ride sharing where possible.
What should I do between the ceremony and reception?
We do realize there is a bit of a gap between the ceremony and cocktail hour, but we hope you take the time to enjoy yourselves in between! Please see the Things to Do tab for activities in the nearby area. The Wave Resort also has a lovely hangout area on the first floor with a nice cocktail bar and pool table.
