What time does the ceremony start and when should all guest be seated?

The ceremony is being held in the outdoor chapel area and is scheduled to start at 11am. We ask that all guest be seated by 10:45am.

Is there a recommended attire for guests?

Our photographer has advised that solid colors work best for photos, so that may be something you wish to consider. The event is a semi-formal event, suits or dress shirts with slacks for men; cocktail dresses, dressy jumpsuits, or elegant separates for women.

What is the venue like?

The venue includes an open air chapel surrounded by a working flower farm -- the chapel area is suitable for high-heels. The reception is held in a posh, fully enclosed and air-conditioned, barn.

Will there be a social hour?

Yes, immediately after the ceremony in a covered veranda area, there will be a social hour with an open bar, coffee bar, and light brunch hors d'oeuvres.

I've never been to a brunch wedding. What can I expect at the reception?

The indoor reception will be similar to those held at evening weddings, featuring a live musician, a full bar, and a buffet. The difference will be that the buffet will offer a brunch selection.

Will the food accomodate dietary restrictions?

Yes, we will offer a gluten-free and nut-free selection.

We are coming in from out of town, what is the area like?

The wedding location is situated in the countryside, yet within easy driving distance to Tampa, Orlando, Bradenton, or Sarasota.

We are coming from out of town, do you have any recommendations for where we should stay?

It depends on how long you plan to stay and your interest. If you are coming in only for the wedding there are several hotels within 10-20 min driving distance: Sheraton Tampa Brandon Hotel, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Tampa, and Hilton Garden Inn Tampa.
