Come stay a while...
We’re so excited to finally make up for the wedding we never had and we can’t wait to have all of our favorite people in the same place. Life moves fast these days, so we’ve planned an extended celebration to allow us all to slow down and spend some quality time together. We encourage you to treat it like a vacation or family reunion and enjoy the entire long weekend with us.
We will have Largo Resort exclusively to ourselves for the duration of the weekend. It's a lush, 4-acre private sanctuary in the heart of Key Largo, just 1 hour from MIA airport. All guests will be able to enjoy the resort for the entire weekend, whether staying onsite with us or elsewhere.
You know we love a good party and we're so excited to treat our families to the ultimate celebration.

FAQs
Where can I find details for my Largo Resort or Dolphin Point Villas booking?
Your room info and balance-due card was included with your paper invitation. If yours didn’t make the journey, please let us know. Room photos and details are linked on the accommodations pages. You may also reach out to the resort directly. Please note that your room may be listed under someone else in your party (typically whoever paid the booking fee.)
When is my booking payment due?
Both resorts require payment in full no later than July 1, 2024. You may pay your balance to Dani or Brad or we can arrange to have you pay the resort directly via credit card. Please don’t wait! We won’t be able to cover late payments - there are a lot of you! Per resort policies, bookings are non-refundable. Please reach out to Dani or Brad if your RSVP changes. We will do our best to help you find someone to take over your reservation. But we’ll be really sad about it =(
Can I add days to my reservation at either resort?
Yes! Please let us know if you are interested in extending your booking and we'll put you in touch with the resort managers to see if there is availability.
Can you recommend a local babysitting service?
Locals recommend Anchored Hearts or Sit’n in The Keys. Rental gear can be delivered via BabyQuip.
What time is check-in/check-out?
Check-in is from 4:00p - 6:00pm at Largo Resort and 4:00p - 5:00p at Dolphin Point Villas. Please notify your respective resort if you will arrive after their office closes. If travel plans allow, we strongly recommend arriving in Key Largo by 4:00pm to avoid Miami rush-hour and the heavy weekend traffic that heads into the Keys on Fridays. Early arrivers are welcome to hang out with us at Largo Resort and will have access to the Grand Lodge while you wait. Check-out is 11:00am at both resorts.
Where do I park?
Parking is free at both resorts. Largo Resort guests will have dedicated parking spaces behind the resort gates. Visitor parking is located up front near the office, with additional parking near the Shore and Guest Houses (see map.) If you are staying at adjacent properties, we encourage sharing rides or walking over when possible.
Is food available at either resort?
Neither resort has a restaurant, however, each unit has a either a kitchenette or full kitchen. There are plenty of grocery stores and restaurants nearby. We plan to keep you well-fed! Included event meals are: Friday dinner, Saturday breakfast, cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres, reception dinner and Sunday lunch. Plus, open bar all weekend. Snacks, beverages and other essentials will be available in the Grand Lodge bar and reception area 24/7.
What should I wear?
Beach wedding / Cocktail attire for the wedding (think upscale evening resort-wear.) Some suggestions: linen or lightweight pants and a collared button down (sport coat optional) and loafers for guys; flowy jumpsuits or maxi dresses, nice sandals or wedges for the ladies. White is ok! We want everyone to wear what makes them feel great. Cocktail hour and the dance floor will be on hard surfaces, but the reception dinner will be on the sand. All other events are casual. Don’t forget a bathing suit!
What will the weather be like?
Expect balmy island weather, ranging from mid-80's during the day to mid-70's in the evenings. All events will be indoor/outdoor, with access to the Grand Lodge during events. The wedding reception dinner will be tented.
Are you having a ceremony?
We aren’t having a vow renewal or ceremony, but we do plan to do something special to kick off the evening. Please arrive to the Largo Resort pool area promptly at 5:00pm on Saturday, Oct 26th.
Where are you registered?
