Q + A

Why are you getting married on Monday, Veteran's Day?

We got engaged on 11/11/22. In numerology, 11/11 is seen as a powerful date due to the repetition of the number 1, often associated with new beginnings, alignment, and synchronicity. What better way to start our new chapter together than on an angel date. Some people make wishes or set intentions at 11:11 a.m. or p.m.

Will the wedding and reception be indoors or outdoors?

Both the wedding and reception are outdoors. We talked to Mother Nature and she has not ordered rain only shine!

Are the wedding and reception in the same place?

Yes, wedding and reception are in the same place.

What is the weather like in Key Largo, FL?

Daily high temperatures decrease by 3°F, from 81°F to 71°F. Daily low temperatures decrease by 4°F, from 72°F to 68°F, rarely falling below 59°F or exceeding 77°F. Typically on the drier side but should always be prepared for a quick rain shower.

What is the best way to get to and from the wedding venue?

If you don't have a car, Uber and Lyft are a great option. All suggested hotels are less than 5 minutes from venue.

Are there any colors or styles you'd prefer me to wear?

There are no color or style requirements for dress. Except NO SHORTS. for the wedding. Our wedding will have a tropical theme. So think bright, happy colors like oranges, yellows, emerald greens, magenta, or purples. I would consider lightweight, breathable materials like cotton, linen, and synthetic blends as the weather will still be warm with potential for cooler evenings, making layering key. For footwear think staple footwear like flat sandals or espadrilles for a beachy vibe, where styles like wedges and block heels offer both comfort and stability on the sand. For men, relaxed options like leather sandals or stylish loafers are perfect for keeping it laid-back yet polished, ideal for an evening by the water. Dress rehearsal/cocktail party is more tropical, resort, casual - shorts are an option. See pictures below⬇

Will there be an open bar?

Hell yeah!

Is there parking available near your wedding venue?

Yes, there is onsite, free parking. Look for the parking lot sign that cleverly says: "Wedding parking" Don't drink and drive - that is what Uber and Lyft is for. You are able to safely leave your vehicle overnight and we encourage you to do so!

Can I take pictures or record video?

Our ceremony is UNPLUGGED. We kindly ask that you DO NOT take pictures or record video during our ceremony. We have a professional photographer who will do that for you so you can be present with us the entire time. We promise to share the pics! During the reception - snap away as you play but please wait for us to share the day.

Where should we bring/send our wedding gift?

Your presence is our present. It truly is the best gift of all! But if that doesn't sit in your spirit right, who are we to argue? You can contribute to our honeymoon fund under our registry tab or scan the ZELLE QR code down below⬇with your phone or drop a card in the card box that will be at the wedding.

What should I pack if I am staying on site at Dream Bay Resort?

Bed and bath linens are provided, but they recommend you bring your own beach towels. (We will have some for people to use.) Small shower gels & shampoos, dish soap, and bath tissue are supplied. There is a regular coffee maker and a single serve Keurig. Each unit has an iron, ironing board, and blow dryer. They don't officially provide cleaning supplies, but guests tend to leave those behind, so there's usually some in each rental. It's best to check when you arrive. As for clothing, dress is casual everywhere in the Keys. Shorts, T-shirts, sundresses, and sandals. Our weather is typically in the mid 70s-high 80s year round, but it can drop into the 50s some evenings in the winter. Remember to bring sunscreen, hats, a shawl for Ladies and sunglasses...and, of course, your bathing suits! If you go out to a restaurant and sit inside, it is usually cold 🥶
