FAQs

Question

What are your COVID safety protocols?

Answer

As of right now, out of concern for the safety of our guests, we’re requiring everyone intending to attend to be fully vaccinated and boosted. We understand that it’s a complex topic with a lot of nuance. We’d love for you to attend our wedding, but unfortunately we can’t budge on this. As the wedding date gets closer we will also decide if we are going to require testing before the ceremony as well.

Question

Are kids allowed?

Answer

We hope you will understand our decision to make the wedding children-free, and take the opportunity to let your hair down and celebrate in style! You are welcome to bring your kids to Orlando if you'd like to make a vacation out of the trip, but please note the wedding itself will be kid free.
