Attire is Black Tie Optional. Tuxes and gowns are welcome, as well as suits and formal dresses! Don't be afraid to experiment with color, patterns, & frills.
What color will the bridesmaids be wearing?
The bridal party will be wearing olive green.
What will the weather be like?
Highs in the mid 80's and lows in the mid 60's. The venue is right on the water so there should be a nice ocean breeze.
Will the ceremony, cocktail hour, & reception take place indoors or outdoors?
The ceremony & cocktail hour will take place outdoors. The reception will take place indoors with one of the walls fully open with views of the ocean and sunset.
How do I get to the wedding venue? Will transportation be provided?
You have the option to stay at the La Valencia Hotel or one of the other hotel options provided on the "Travel" page. Most are walking distance or a short drive.
Is there parking available at the venue?
Yes, you can valet your car with the hotel for $18 per car. Overnight parking is $39 per car per day. Additional parking lots are available nearby too. Try the app "spothero" to find nearby parking in advance.
Are there room blocks for the hotels?
Some of our hotels offer room blocks & some do not. If there is a room block available we have provided the code on the travel page.
What time will your wedding reception end? Is there an after-party?
Our wedding reception will end at 10pm. There is an optional after-party that is a 2 minute walk across the street at The Spot.
Attire is casual if you wish to change into something more comfortable.
Am I allowed to take photos at your wedding?
We request your full presence during our ceremony and wish for it to be "unplugged". We will have a professional photographer to capture these special moments and wish to have your beautiful faces in our photos instead of cellphones. We are happy to share copies of the ceremony photos with you :)
You are welcome to take your own photos during cocktail hour and the reception.
Will there be meal options for guests with dietary restrictions or allergies?
Yes, we are more than happy to accommodate. You can provide us with your special meal request / dietary restriction when you submit your RSVP.
Where should we bring/send our wedding gift?
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for! If you wish to honor us with a gift, you can have it delivered to 3 Congress St. Newburyport, MA. 01950. A wedding card box will be available at our reception.
Do I get a plus-one?
As much as we would love to celebrate with everyone, due to limited space, we can only accommodate the guests formally addressed on the invitation. Thank you for understanding!
Can I bring my kids?
Although we love your little ones, this is an adult only affair.
