A quick note — and a few details to help us plan our perfect day.
Good to Know
Please plan to be seated by 1:30 PM. The ceremony begins promptly at 2:00 PM at St. Augustine Catholic Church in Casselberry. Parking is available on the church grounds.
Yes — we're providing a complimentary group shuttle from Embassy Suites to St. Augustine for the ceremony, and back to the hotel afterward for cocktail hour and reception. We strongly encourage hotel guests to ride with us so no one has to drive. Schedule details will be shared with confirmed RSVPs closer to the date.
For those not on the shuttle, the venues are about 6 miles apart (12 minutes by car). Uber and Lyft serve the area well.
Absolutely. We'll have a dedicated Children's Reception in the Florida Room from 6:00 to 11:00 PM with food, activities, and supervision so the little ones have their own celebration alongside ours.
Formal or Traditional Nigerian. Cocktail dresses, suits, gowns — or aso ebi, gele, agbada, and isiagu. Whatever feels celebratory and like you. The wedding palette is coral, gold, ivory, and green if you'd like to coordinate.
Yes! Our custom tailors can make traditional outfits for both men and women — provided your order is placed early enough to allow for tailoring and shipping time. Please reach out to us soon to coordinate.
Work with the couple to place your order, or to join in the aso ebi — the Yoruba tradition of family and friends wearing matching fabric chosen by the couple as a sign of unity. (Igbo: akwa otu · English: "family cloth")
Where to order:
Dyme Royale — Women's attire
Heritage Tailor — Men's attire
Email us at KelechiandRhonda@outlook.com to coordinate fabric, sizing, and timing.
