Cocktail dress is encouraged! Virginia in late September has warm days and cooler evenings, so guests are encouraged to bring a light shawl or sports jacket. Please abstain from wearing white.

There will be an open bar for the reception with a limited amount of alcohol which has been provided by the bride and groom.

Yes! Cape Charles is approximately 30 minutes from the venu and has a host of rental homes and small hotels guests can reserve. "Shore Ride" and "Coastal Ride" are two local taxi services used on the Shore. There will also be a limited number of pup tents available to guests who are unable to make reservations and may have a drink too many.

Will there be accomodations for those with food allergies and dietary restrictions?

Please inform us of your food allergies and dietary restrictions using your RSVP card or in your online RSVP!

A seafood boil with traditional fixings will be provided during the reception. Pulled pork sandwiches will also be available for guests who do not eat seafood. Again, if you need special dietary accommodations, please let us know!
