Question

RECOMMENDED PLACES TO STAY:

Answer

Downtown along the Riverwalk: Offers a beautiful waterfront setting with lots of walkable activities, dining options, and stunning views. The riverwalk also offers a water taxi that takes you anywhere along the river, including to and from the wedding venue if you wish. -Hotel Tampa Riverwalk 200 N Ashley Dr, FL, Tampa, FL -Hilton Tampa Downtown 211 N St, FL United States, Tampa, FL Westshore by Tampa International Airport: There are countless hotels around this location that are more affordable as well as provide a variety of amenities such as restaurants and shopping centers while remaining only 20 minutes away from the wedding venue. Although, an uber or rental car would be necessary. Midtown: While there is no waterfront view, this location is in between the airport and downtown. A 10-minute uber to/from the wedding venue with numerous amazing restaurants nearby that are walkable. One of our personal favorite spots in the Tampa Bay Area. -Element Tampa Midtown 3650 Midtown Drive, Tampa, FL 33607 AirBnB/Vrbo: Offers a more homey and personalized experience. You can find unique places to stay that might have more space, kitchen, and other amenities. This would be the most affordable choice, especially for larger groups!

Question

WHAT TIME IS THE WEDDING?

Ceremony starts promptly at 4:00pm, please arrive 15-30 minutes earlier to assure you do not miss anything and allow us to begin on time.

Question

WHERE DO I PARK?

Question

WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?

Answer

We would love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day! Dress code is Formal Attire. The ceremony and reception will be held outdoors, partially in the grass, so please be mindful of this when picking shoes to wear for the evening. We will have heel stoppers available in the women's bathroom basket if needed. We also ask that guests avoid wearing colors reserved for the bride such as cream, ivory, or white.

Question

ARE KIDS WELCOME?

Answer

While we love your kiddos and they are absolutely welcome, we encourage you to use this evening as a "night out" for yourself. Also, please be mindful the venue is located alongside a body of water, so very close supervision is required when bringing children.

Question

CAN I TAKE PICTURES DURING THE CEREMONY?

Answer

We are having an unplugged ceremony, meaning once the ceremony begins, we ask that all phones be put away and silenced. We want everyone to be fully present with us and for our amazing photographer to be able to capture the best photos, which we will share with you. Once the ceremony is over, feel free to take as many pictures as you would like and don't forget to share them with us.

Question

WILL THERE BE A BAR?

Answer

Yes! The drinks are on us, and the hangover is on you- get ready to party!! For this reason, we encourage you to Uber/Lyft/WaterTaxi to and from the venue. Please make sure you have a way to get home safely.

Question
