Question
Are Children Allowed?
Answer
In order to allow all guests, including parents, a day of relaxation we have chosen for our wedding day to be an ADULT ONLY occasion. We hope this advance notice means you are still able to share our big day and will enjoy having the day off.
Question
How do we get to the Reception from the church?
Answer
The walk from Our Lady of Mount Carmel to Harborside Pavilion Ballroom is about 25-28 minutes along the beach. It is a very easy, flat walk. For anyone wearing heels, we do suggest brining sandals/flats to make the walk more comfortable. If walking is not an option, it is a very easy, affordable Uber/Lyft ride. We do not suggest driving unless necessary. Parking is not free and limited.
Question
Will there be an After Party?
Answer
Yes! For anyone wishing to continue the party, we will have an After Party at Cruisers Bar across the street around 1030 or whenever you can make your way over. (No open bar).
