The Ceremony will begin promptly at 4:00 pm. Please allow yourself at least thirty minutes to arrive and get settled!
Due to limited venue capacity, we are unable to accommodate plus ones unless it is specifically indicated on your envelope. For example, the envelope will read, Mr. Paul Valentino and Guest. For families, it will read, Mr. And Mrs. Paul Valentino and Family or The Valentino Family. When you access the RSVP option, you’ll have the opportunity to view the precise number of individuals you can RSVP on behalf of.
We love your little ones; however, we have decided to keep our wedding and reception an adults-only event with the exception of immediate family. Please look at the RSVP tab to see if we can accommodate your children. We encourage you to use this evening as a date night!
We would love to see our friends and family dressed up for our big day! We are requesting formal attire. Ladies can wear floor-length or midi formal dresses. Gentlemen can wear a suit and tie or a tux. Since the venue is historic, we are required to provide heel caps for all stiletto shoes. Please plan and dress accordingly to accommodate the weather as well. This event will take place outdoors and it is Florida!
There will be designated parking at the venue. If you are going to take a rideshare service, please be sure to enter the Sydonie Mansion address into your app: 5538 Sydonie Drive, Mount Dora, Florida 32757. It is a good idea to preschedule your Lyft/Uber earlier in the evening for pickup after the event - Sydonie Mansion can be a tricky place for drivers to find, especially at night!
There will be a drop down on your specific RSVP to fill out any dietary needs.
