Couples may arrive one hour and a half prior to the start of the ceremony, Additional time beyond this can be accommodated with additional fee. Guests may arrive up to 30 minutes prior to the start of your wedding. If you plan on doing a first look, please inform your guests to arrive 15 minutes prior to the ceremony start.

Our couples commonly have hair and make-up artists come into our partner hotels and/or airbnb's. The hotels are accustomed to providing for this. There is also the option of reserving studios.
