The wedding will be black tie. Gentlemen are encouraged to wear tuxedos, and ladies are welcome to wear floor-length dresses or gowns.

We have reserved room blocks at the following properties: (1) The Cloister (our venue), (2) The Inn at Sea Island, and (3) King & Prince Beach & Golf Resort. Please visit the “Travel” page for booking links. For larger groups, we also recommend looking into Airbnb or VRBO rentals. There are many beautiful homes near the beach on property that work well for families or groups of friends.

Formal invitations will be mailed closer to the event date. Guest names and any plus-ones will be clearly indicated when submitting your RSVP online.

If flying in, the closest airports are Brunswick (BQK), about 30 minutes from the property, and Jacksonville (JAX), about 1 hour away. JAX is an international airport with more flight options, often offering direct flights from select hubs without the need for a layover, while BQK is smaller and conveniently located. Both airports have rental car services available, and The Cloister provides valet and self-parking. We also encourage guests flying in to consider ride shares for additional convenience.

Mid-May is a beautiful time to visit coastal Georgia, with daytime temperatures in the upper 70s to mid-80s (°F) and evenings in the mid-60s to low 70s. A light breeze is common near the water. The ceremony is planned to be outdoors, with the reception indoors. In case of inclement weather, the ceremony will be moved inside. For the wedding, gentlemen may prefer lightweight tuxedo fabrics, and ladies may want a shawl or wrap for cooler evenings.
