8:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Cocktail Attire: To celebrate Amanda's Cuban culture, we decided to do a fun twist and make it Havana Nights themed! Wear colorful and bright cocktail dresses or dressy jumpsuits for the ladies and sports coats with button up shirts or a fun guayabera (a tradional Cuban shirt) for the men! Feel free to have fun with it!
There will be a few light bites and cocktails available along with little hints of Cuba sprinkled throughout the evening. We can't wait to see you!
1:45 pm
Feel free to wear your same traditional black-tie attire to the church, as well as the reception!
Please arrive promptly at 1:45. The ceremony will begin right at 2 pm, don't be late!
3:15 pm - 4:45 pm
What do you do during the time in between the ceremony and the reception? We have several suggestions for you! One option is that this could be a moment to rest up before all the energy is needed on the dance floor. Another suggestion is to head over to the reception location and grab a drink and a quick bite at the outdoor bar area, Anchor & Brine, or get some city views at the JW Marriott rooftop bar, Beacon, across the bridge from the Tampa Marriott Water Street. If you are craving a sweet treat or some coffee, Bright Ice Ice Cream shop and Starbucks are located directly next to the hotel. The Tampa Marriott Water Street location is very central and in close walking distance to many nice cafes, bars and restaurants so feel free to enjoy your time before the reception begins! See the 'Things to Do' page for more.
5:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Black-Tie: Wear floor-length gowns or formal cocktail dresses, tuxes or suits with bowties.
Party Time! Dinner, drinks, and dancing to follow!
10:15 pm
Let's keep the party going! If you are wanting to continue the celebrations, please walk on over and join the bride and groom at American Social for additional drinks and fun! This is completely optional and up to you whether you would like to attend!
