FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS​

We’re so excited to celebrate with you! To help make things easier, we’ve compiled some answers to frequently asked questions about our wedding weekend. If you have any additional questions, feel free to reach out!

 

WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE? 

Our wedding will be formal. We ask that guests wear cocktail attire or semi-formal attire that reflects the celebration of the day! Keep in mind that Mystic, CT, in October will likely be in the mid to low 60's, so you may want to bring a shawl, jacket, or warm layers for outdoor activities.

 

WHERE SHOULD I PARK? 

There won’t be specific wedding signs, but if you follow the signs for Haley Mansion, you will find parking. Alternatively, you can park anywhere at the inn and walk up to the mansion.

 

CAN I BRING A GUEST?

Due to venue capacity limits, we kindly ask that only those listed on your invitation attend. Thank you for understanding!

 

ARE CHILDREN WELCOME? 

Yes! We will have a babysitter available the night of the wedding should you want to bring your kids. Please reach out if you’d like to connect with her.

 

WILL THERE BE ANY FOOD ACCOMMODATIONS FOR DIETARY RESTRICTIONS? 

Yes! We want all of our guests to enjoy the celebration comfortably. Please let us know about any dietary restrictions when you RSVP, and we will do our best to accommodate.

 

WHAT IS THE WEATHER EXPECTED TO BE LIKE? 

The weather in Mystic in early October typically ranges from the mid to low 60's, with a very low chance of rain. Please plan accordingly for cooler weather, especially for any outdoor portions of the celebration.

 

CAN I RSVP BY PHONE OR TEXT? 

We kindly ask that all RSVPs be submitted through the form on our website to help us keep everything organized. However, if you feel more comfortable, you may also send back the RSVP postcard included with your invitation. Thank you for your cooperation!

 

IS THERE TRANSPORTATION PROVIDED? 

Yes, we will have a shuttle from the Amtrak station to various hotels on Friday, October 4th, running at 11 am, 1 pm, and 3:40 pm. However, we highly recommend renting a car so you can explore the area throughout the weekend. There will be no shuttles from the hotels to the wedding venue on the day of the ceremony.

 

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I CAN'T ATTEND?

We’ll miss you! If you can’t make it, please let us know as soon as possible by declining your invitation on the RSVP page. This will help us in planning.

​

WHAT ACTIVITIES ARE AVAILABLE IN THE AREA? 

There are plenty of local attractions to explore during your stay, from Bluff Point State Park to the Mystic Aquarium. We also recommend the Submarine Museum, which offers a great way to see what Taylor does in the Navy. Check out our Local Attractions page for more details on young adult activities, adult fun, and family-friendly options.

​

WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE AT THE VENUE?

The ceremony will begin promptly at 5 pm on Sunday, October 6th, so we recommend arriving 30 minutes early to find your seat and settle in.

 

CAN I  TAKE PHOTOS DURING THE CEREMONY?

We’re having an unplugged ceremony, which means we kindly ask that all guests refrain from taking photos until after the ceremony is complete. We want you to relax and be present with us during this special moment. Our photographer will be capturing everything beautifully!
