Question
What should I wear?
Answer
ANYTHING THAT MAKES YOU COMFORTABLE!!! The attire is technically semi-formal - but honestly whatever makes you feel good about yourself! From a button down and tie to a tux! Or a jumpsuit or cocktail dress to a gown! We're just so happy to have a blast with you and want you to feel free to be you! If you'd like to match the decor or what we're wearing, Kyle will be in dark blue and Natale will be in dark green. The space will be decorated with greenery and has bricks and iron with black tablecloths.
Question
Are kids allowed?
Answer
As much as we love children, we want this to be a "Parents' night out". Therefore we kindly ask that only adults of legal drinking age attend. Thank you!
Question
Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
Both! The ceremony will be held in the attached garden outdoors and will then filter inside for cocktail hour and the reception! We know it's Florida - and therefore planned specifically for when the weather will be a bit more tempered. You're welcome. In fact - this time of year can get a bit chilly so we'd advise light jackets or wraps if you're one who gets cold fast. Natale unfortunately does NOT fall into this category.
Question
What's the parking situation?
Answer
Venue650 has ample parking for guests, so feel free to drive yourself/carpool if you'd like! You can of course Uber as well. If you want to check out the downtown area, parking in Winter Haven is available with both street parking and garages.
Question
Will there be food and drinks served?
Answer
YES!!! Our wedding will have a full open bar! During cocktail hour small bites will be served, followed by a buffet dinner during the reception. Dessert will round out the night followed by late night munchies when we're all tearing it up on the dance floor and hankering for a snack! YUM! (P.S. On your RSVP there will be a spot for you to list any food allergies you may have so we can make sure those items can be prepared separately and safely!)
