Question

Is there a deadline to book my hotel in the room block?

The Cavalier has complimentary valet parking. You may also park in the parking garage at the Marriott across the street.

Question

If I am staying/parking at the Marriott/Embassy, is there transportation to the Cavalier for the ceremony?

Yes! The ceremony is in the Sunken Garden, a rose garden at the Cavalier Hotel. In the event of weather, the ceremony will be moved to the Grand Loggia at the Cavalier Hotel.

The venue includes a patio and an indoor loggia.

What should I do between the brunch and after party?

Answer

We do not have events planned from 2-6pm, so feel free to enjoy the amenities at the hotel, the beach, or rest up for later.

Question

Is there transportation to the after party at the Gagnon's?

Answer

Yes! We have 2 drivers that would be happy to gift you a lift from the Cavalier, Marriott or Embassy to the Gagnon's house. They will be running back and forth from 6pm to 10pm. Just wait by the front entrance of your hotel and they will swing by to pick you up.

Question

I am planning to drive to the after party. Where should I park?

Answer

There will be a handful of parking spots available at the neighbors' houses across the street and adjacent to the Gagnon's house. There is also a limited amount of street parking available on 53rd street. Due to limited spots, we recommend utilizing the drivers if you are staying on the Cavalier property.

Question

Is food served at the after party?

Answer

YES! Hors devours served starting at 6pm and dinner served at 7pm.

Question

Is there anything I should keep in mind about the festival?

Answer

All wedding guests will get a wristband either when they check-in to the resort or arrive for the ceremony. This wristband will give you access to the amenities at the resort for the whole weekend. There will likely be heavier than usual traffic that weekend, so please give yourself plenty of time for travel. Also keep your eyes peeled for a possible celeb citing!

Question

I have dietary restrictions/allergies, should I let you know?

Answer

Not to worry. We have both gluten free and vegan options at the brunch and after party. If you have other restrictions or allergies, please reach out to Kelly or Mason to let them know.
