Are the wedding ceremony and the reception at the same venue?
Yes! We fell in love with the venue and hope our guests find as much joy in it as we do. We will be hosting the ceremony and reception in one easy location.
Will the ceremony or reception be indoors or outdoors?
The ceremony will be held outdoors and the cocktail hour and reception will be indoors. There is a plan for inclement weather for the ceremony just in case. Fingers crossed for a nice October afternoon!
WHAT TIME IS THE CEREMONY? WHAT TIME IS THE RECEPTION?
Our ceremony will begin promptly at 4:00 PM. We ask that guests arrive by 3:30pm to be seated in time for the ceremony. If you are using the resort shuttle, please allow ample time for the shuttle to arrive. Cocktail hour and the reception will begin immediately following the ceremony.
CAN I TAKE PICTURES AT THE CEREMONY?
We are having an "unplugged" ceremony. This just means we are asking that all phones and devices be put away and on silent/turned off during the ceremony. Don't worry, our officiant will remind you :) We have hired professionals to capture some of the most important moments of our lives and we don't want to have phones blocking those moment for them to capture. We also want guests to be present in the moment. After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos as you want and we promise to share the ceremony photos as soon we get them!
