Please arrive by 3pm as the ceremony will begin promptly at 3:30pm and we would like everyone to be in their seats on time.
The dress code for our evening wedding is formal attire (suits or dress pants for men and cocktail dresses or evening gowns for women) in any color, including black.
We are planning for our ceremony and reception to take place outdoors by the water and on the venue terrace, and our cocktail hour will be spread between indoor and outdoors for the hour. Please note that Bella Cosa in located on a lake and elements of the evening will be close to the water.
Unfortunately there is no shuttle service from the Marriott to the venue so transportation will need be arranged individually via rental car or Uber.
Yes, there is a large free lot for parking located in front of the venue as well as a drop off area for guests who need closer access before parking.
Respectfully, we have chosen to make our wedding day child-free. Please refer to your wedding invitation RSVP card for the allotted number of reservations for your family.
Please list any dietary restrictions/allergies on the RSVP card sent with your wedding invitation.
We will be having an unplugged ceremony. We ask you to join us in being fully present by putting away all your electronic devices during that time. For cocktail hour and the reception, pictures and social media posts are welcomed and we encourage you to use our wedding hastag #soontobesaad.
