Q + A

Can I bring my children?

With the exception of children within the immediate family & bridal party, we've opted for an adults-only affair to allow everyone to relax and enjoy the celebration. We hope you understand our decision and can arrange childcare for the evening. If you have any concerns or special circumstances, please don't hesitate to contact the maid of honor, Courtney Gautier, directly to discuss further at 631-793-0038.

Can I bring a plus one?

Due to limited space, those invited with plus ones have "and guest" listed on their invitations.

Is there a dress code?

The dress code is black tie preferred - use this night as a chance to dress to impress! Gentlemen, feel free to wear your best suit and tie, or even a tuxedo. Ladies, longer, formal dresses are encouraged.

Is there a gift registry?

The best gift is having you share in our special day. Should you wish to contribute in some other way, we would love a few pennies to put in our pot, for our house and honeymoon trip after tying the knot. Please see the "Registry" section for more information.

Where should I stay?

We have provided a limited number of rooms at a discounted rate at the Garden City Hotel. We have also provided a list of additional hotels in the area close to the venue. Please see the "Travel" section for more information.

Is there transportation?

There will be shuttle service provided to and from The Garden City Hotel & The Lannin throughout the night. Uber and Lyft are also popular and reliable ride share apps in the area. Remember, it's Fourth of July weekend, safety first. Please see the "Travel" section for more information.

Is there parking available at the venue?

There is a parking lot devoted to the venue as well as free valet service for all guests.

What time should I arrive at the venue?

Please arrive at 6:00pm for welcome drinks and to find your seats. The ceremony will begin promptly at 6:30pm.

Will the wedding be inside or outside?

The ceremony will take place outside (weather permitting), followed by an indoor cocktail hour and reception. Please keep in mind that the ceremony will not be in a shaded area.

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

While we love that you want to capture our special moments, we kindly request an unplugged ceremony to allow everyone to be fully present. Our professional photographer will be capturing all the highlights, and we'll share the photos at a later date. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in creating a distraction-free environment for our ceremony.

Will there be an after party?

It's Fourth of July, of course. The after party will be indoor/outdoor at The Lannin, and will begin immediately following the end of the reception from midnight to 1:00am.

I still have questions! Who should I contact?

Please contact Nicole's maid of honor: Courtney Gautier, at 631-793-0038
