Please celebrate with us at an adults-only reception immediately following the ceremony!
The ceremony will be at five o'clock, and after that, we will love you to join us for an adult reception at six o’clock.
To allow all wedding guests, including parents, a night of relaxation and uninhibited revelry, we respectfully ask that no children attend the reception.
We love your kids but thought you might like a night off. Adults only, please!
If you need help finding a sitter, let us k now. We have several options to help you feel comfortable to have them be watched.

Short 1.4 mile trip from the Vinoy.
There will be plenty of parking, less than a $20 Uber, and if you’re really in shape pleasant walk to the venue location!
For those of you that aren't able to make it to our marriage celebration in person, we wanted to provide you with a way to "zoom" in virtually (if you wish)! The below link will allow you to watch the ceremony live at 5 p.m. EST on 1.1.2022.

Dress to impress!
Fun formal is requested. What does that mean? Means suits with the tie being optional, and long or short party dresses. Bring out all the glam! The Groom will be in a navy suit (not black tie/tux FYI)
Reception is on fake grass... thicker heel is wise.
You DO NOT need to wear the colors below. Wear what makes you feel good.

Rest your head at the historical luxury pink hotel!
One of our favorite places in Florida that won't disappoint! Discover the Vinoy, a luxury Mediterranean Revival style-hotel, steps away from all the things St. Petersburg has to offer!
This hotel is where a lot of the festivities will be. At this time they are not able to provide more rooms to our room block, due to construction happening. IF rooms open up to add to our block they will let us know and we will pass down the savings.
Affordable and centraly located hotel!
The Hampton Inn and Suites St. Petersburg Downtown is an upper-middle-range hotel in an excellent central location that's within walking distance of many restaurants and attractions.
Don't Forget to Plan a Festive NYE Dinner
The Welcome and New Year's Eve Pregame (to our marriage of course) will only include beer, wine, and festive cocktails! It is #BYOFB (Bring Your Own Full Bellies) There are an array of great dinner selections that are in walking distance. Let us know if you need help selecting one to make dinner reservations.
Also, after the "Welcome Party" officially ends, we will move the party to the pool bar looking over the water to continue the celebration while enjoying the best firework show of the year!
Festive Cocktail
What is "Festive Cocktail?" If you ask us, that means the more seasonal glamour — jewels, faux fur, sparkle, and shimmer — the better. Plan to have a reason this season to have fun with your attire, but in all honesty if that means jeans and a t-shirt, rock that festive look and come party with us!
Wear something comfy and casual! Think boat chic. Heels and black sole shoes not recommended.
You are all the first to be told officially that we will have a Sunset Sail on THURSDAY, DEC. 30 from 5:45-9:00 p.m. that fits 50-100 people! If you are able to make it - please plan on it. No RSVP needed.
