Registry

Are children allowed? We love your little ones, but for this celebration we’re kindly requesting an adults-only event. Thank you for understanding and helping us enjoy a relaxed evening together. What is the dress code? The evening will be Black Tie Optional. Guests may choose tuxedos or formal dark suits, as well as floor-length gowns or elegant cocktail dresses, for an elevated coastal celebration—think various shades of pink, cerulean, butter yellow, and light blue. Where should I stay? Our preferred accommodations are The Inn at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club and The Wilson’s Cove Hotel. Both are located on-site at the ceremony venue and offer exceptional convenience due to their close proximity to the celebration. The Hyatt Place in Kent Narrows and the Best Western are also great alternative options. Are we offering transportation? Transportation accommodations are provided to the ceremony, located next to the reception venue. Transportation will be provided from the Inn at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club, Wilson’s Cove, the Hyatt Place in Kent Narrows, and the Best Western. How can we plan to get to the after-party? Shuttle service will be provided from the wedding venue to The Jetty Dock Bar following the reception for guests attending the after-party or for those going back to their hotel (the Best Western and the Hyatt Place). What time should I arrive at the ceremony? The ceremony will begin promptly at 5:30 PM. We kindly ask guests to begin arriving between 5:00 and 5:15 PM. Shuttle services will begin pick up at the Hyatt place and Best western at 4:30pm. Please plan accordingly! There is only one bus leaving from both the Hyatt &amp; Best Western at 4:30. Anything else I should be mindful of? If you are traveling from the Annapolis side, please allow extra time for Bay Bridge traffic when planning your arrival. Please also be mindful that there are limited Ubers, Lyfts, etc., on Kent Island. We suggest staying at one of our listed hotels to avoid any transportation difficulties.
