PLACES TO STAY

We recommend staying at the Lakeside Inn or the Hampton Inn in Mt. Dora for easy access to the venue and downtown.

Orlando Internaational Airport is about an hour south of Mt. Dora. We recommend flying in on Friday.

Driving

Free parking beside the house.

Cars & Shuttles

Running from the hotel at three o'clock, and back on the hour from ten. The last car leaves at midnight.

Garden formal. Long or midi dresses and suits. The wedding party will be wearing green.

While You're Here

We hope you'll explore historic downtown Mt. Dora while you're here and catch a Florida sunset by the lake.

Questions

What should I wear?
Garden formal: think spring colors and prints. The ceremony and cocktails are outdoors on grass, so we'd steer you away from a thin heel. Men should wear a suit (ties and tuxedos are not required). Lighter suit colors like navy, grey, and tan are also welcomed.
Can I bring a guest?
We've kept our guest list as intimate as possible, so invitations are extended only to those named on your invitation.
Are children invited?
We've chosen to keep our wedding a mostly adults-only celebration. Thank you for understanding!
What happens if it rains?
We hope to hold the ceremony outside if possible, but will move cocktail hour and dinner inside the conservatory if neccessary. Nothing else changes, the timing included.
I have a dietary restriction.
Tell us in the form below and the kitchen will take care of it.
When should I reply by?
The first of March, 2027. If your plans change after that, write to us anyway!
May I take photographs?
Please be fully present with us for an unplugged ceremony by keeping phones and cameras away. After that, we hope you'll find one of the disposable cameras we're providing for some nostalgic candids.

Registry

our presence is the most important thing. If you'd like to give a gift, a contribution to our honeymoon would be lovely. We also have a small registry should you be so inclined.

The Registry The Honeymoon

Kindly reply by the first of March
