Are there other hotels blocks nearby?

Yes! On our Stay & Travel page in the “Nearby Hotels” section, you’ll find several nearby hotels at more affordable rates, many with block codes for discounted reservations. We are currently working on a few contracts for a discounted rate so standby!

What airport should I fly into?

The closest and most convenient option is Southwest Florida International (RSW) in Fort Myers, about 25 miles from Naples.

Other airports:

Naples Municipal (APF): private flights only.

Miami International (MIA): ~2 hours away.

Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood (FLL): ~2 hours away.

How do we get to Naples from the airport?

• Rental Car: Best if you want to explore.

Uber/Lyft: $60–90 each way from RSW.

Car Service/Shuttle: Options include SuperShuttle, GroundLink, and Blacklane.

Taxi: Available but usually pricier.

Some hotels may offer shuttle service — check directly with your hotel.

📅 Events & Schedule

• • •

When should guests plan to arrive?

Events officially begin on Friday, February 6 with the rehearsal dinner or welcome cocktail party. If you’d like to extend your vacation, you’re welcome to arrive earlier and stay as late as you want!

. . . . . . . . .

What time should I arrive at the reception?

Exact time is still TBD but its always good to arrive at least 30 minutes before the reception to get settled.

. . . . . . . . .

Will there be events before or after the wedding?

Yes! We’re hosting a welcome meet-and-greet with cocktails the night before, and a farewell brunch the following morning. Everything in-between is up to you!

👶 Kids & Plus-Ones

• • •

Are kids welcome?

We love your little ones, but our wedding events will be adults-only. If you’re bringing children to Naples, please arrange care for them during event times.

. . . . . . . . .

Can I bring a date/plus-one?

If your invitation includes “+ Guest,” then yes. And I'm pretty sure that's the case. Just RSVP on time so that everyone can be accounted for.

. . . . . . . . .

🎁 Registry & Gifts

• • •

We’re working on it now and will post the link here once it’s ready.


Should I bring a gift to Florida or ship it?

Since we live in California, we kindly ask that gifts be shipped to our home to avoid travel hassles. So please ship gifts instead of bringing them to Naples. (If you need our address, just ask!)


Do you prefer a honeymoon fund or physical gifts?

We’ll likely keep our physical registry small since we already have most of what we need. What excites us most is a honeymoon fund — we’re dreaming of a trip to Europe, with Germany and Italy at the top of our list.
