When and where is the wedding?

The wedding will be held at Paddlefish Restaurant, within the Disney Springs district. Ceremony begins at 5 pm sharp, please be at the venue by 4:30 to get to the ceremony site and get seated. The venue is a small walk from the Disney bus loops and parking garages, please plan accordingly with footwear.

What is the dress code?

Bright and tropical is the name of the game. We kindly request that all women wear their brightest florals and men wear their finest Hawaiian shirts and khakis/ colored golf shorts! Keep in mind the weather will most likely be very hot, and the ceremony will be outdoors on the rooftop boat deck, so dress accordingly! No denim please! For inspiration please see Dress code tab!

Can I bring a guest?

We unfortunately cannot accommodate any additional guests. Due to limited capacity, we can only allow the people named on your invitation. Your invitation will be made out to "{Your Name} & Guest" if a plus one has been given to you.

Are kids invited?

Although we love your children, we have decided that the wedding and all related events be adults only. We want everyone to be able to let loose and have a great time and use this as a vacation for yourselves!

Where are you registered?

We are registered through Crate and Barrel as well as Traveler's Joy (honeymoon fund), the link to those can be found under the "Registry' tab.

When should we arrive in Orlando?

We are arriving a few days prior for some quality time before the festivities, and are encouraging everyone to be in Orlando by Saturday night, May 2 to begin our celebrations!

Is there a hotel block?

We will not be doing a hotel room block as we feel there are too many rules for guests, regarding what kind of room, how many nights, etc. We personally will be staying at the Dolphin, and if you would like to join us there, the more the merrier!! However if another onsite hotel, or perhaps something offsite works better for you, we want to leave the decision on where to stay in your hands!! If you have any questions or need any information regarding hotels and accommodations, there will be another section for that under the "TRAVEL" tab!

When is the RSVP deadline?

March 20, 2026

Transportation

To and from airport: We prefer to use the Lyft app as there are always an abundance of rides available and pricing is very affordable. If you are staying on Disney property, they have busses that run all day to and from Disney Springs. *If you are staying at the Dolphin (or any other Disney Resort) there will be free included transportation to anywhere you'd like to go on Disney property. -Buses: From the Dolphin there are frequent busses to Disney Springs (shopping & dining district), Animal Kingdom, and Magic Kingdom. -Boats: At the Dolphin, there is a ferry dock with boat transportation to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. -By foot: The Dolphin is within close walking distance to Epcot, and Hollywood Studios is accessible via a longer walk or the Skyliner nearby. *transportation options will vary at each resort, but all resorts offer some transportation to Disney Springs (where the wedding is located), whether it be boat or bus. Keep in mind if you choose to rent a vehicle yourself, there is a parking fee at the Disney Dolphin Resort of $34/night- $44/valet

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

We are having an unplugged ceremony, meaning that we would like phones and cameras to be away during our special moment. We have hired a wonderful team of photographers and videographers and we would love to see everyones happy faces in our video rather than your phones! Everyone will be given an opportunity for a photo before the ceremony starts and then we kindly ask that you put them away for a few minutes and be present with us as we begin our forever.

What is the timeline of the day for guests?

-Guests are encouraged to arrive early to the area, as Disney Springs can get very busy! Ceremony will begin promptly at 5pm and celebrations will extend until 9pm. We plan on enjoying the ambience of Disney Springs after the wedding- live music, shopping, restaurants, and fun drinks- with whoever would like to join us!

Day of Transportation

Day of we are requesting that everyone be responsible in how they get to and from the venue. We will be having an open bar and we would love guests to enjoy. That being said, if you plan on partaking in the open bar, please plan on using rideshare (uber or lyft) or the Disney transportation system to get you around day of. Build in a bit more time beforehand for these options as sometimes you have to wait for a car or a bus.

What if I have food allergies or restrictions?

Please indicate in the notes section of the RSVP what you need in terms of dietary accommodations and we will communicate as needed with the culinary team.

Will alcohol be served?

Yes we will be serving alcohol with an open bar from after the ceremony at 5:30 until 8:30, closing 30 minutes prior to event end time. Please enjoy responsibly and make sure you have a safe way back to your hotel!!!
