Question

Are you registered? Where?

We have a registry through Zola that you can access via the registry section of our website. Your presence at our wedding is a present in it off itself but if you’re still interested in gifting us something please consider donating to our honeymoon cash fund in lieu of a physical gift to ensure we get to have a magical first week of marriage in paradise. It can be found on our registry page along with our Venmo/Zelle.

We will also be offering a shuttle from Union Trust to the Bar immediately following the end of the reception and offering transportation back to the Hotel Monaco throughout the afterparty.

Additionally in the travel section you’ll find few other area hotels we’d recommend based on distance from the venue.

Are kids welcome?
