Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear?
We're so excited to celebrate with you in style! The dress code is Black Tie, which means tuxedos and formal long dresses. Feel free to have fun with it! The Dunes Club sits on a lawn right on the ocean, so we recommend block heels or dress shoes that can handle a bit of lawn or sand.
Can I bring a guest?
We wish we could celebrate with everyone we love, but due to space and planning, invitations are addressed to the specific guests invited. If your invitation includes a guest by name, we'd be delighted for them to join!
Are children invited?
While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adult-only celebration (with the exception of a few family members' children). We hope this gives you a chance to relax, enjoy a night out, and dance the night away! Thank you for understanding — we can't wait to celebrate with you.
Is the ceremony and reception at the same location?
Yes! Everything will take place at The Dunes Club in Narragansett, RI. Once you arrive, you can settle in and enjoy the evening — no additional travel required between events.
What time should I arrive?
Please plan to arrive right at 5pm. The ceremony will begin shortly after!
What's the weather like in Rhode Island in late August?
Late August in Narragansett is usually warm and breezy, with temperatures in the 70s. The celebration will take place both outdoors and inside the club, so we recommend dressing comfortably for a summer evening by the ocean (bring a wrap or jacket if you tend to get chilly!).
Is there a welcome event on Friday August 28th?
Yes! We will be hosting all of our guests at The Carriage House at the Elms on Friday night from 8:00-10:00pm. Drinks and light bites will be provided. Parking will be available at The Elms. Given the proximity to downtown Newport we will not be providing transportation. We recommend you uber or carpool!
Where should I stay?
Narragansett and nearby towns like Newport and South Kingstown have wonderful hotels, inns, and rentals. We'll include a few of our favorites on the Travel & Accommodations page of our website. We recommend booking early! Late August is a beautiful (and busy!) time on the Rhode Island coast.
