Q + A
Are there any yacht club traditions I should be aware of?
Yes! Please note that at sunset the Yacht Club honors the tradition of "retiring the colors." Evening Colors begins with ringing a bell or blowing a whistle, followed by a cannon shot. Upon hearing the cannon, all those on Club property in sight of the flag will stand and face the flag, in silence, with their right hand over their heart, until the flag is fully lowered. At that point, the command, “Carry on” will be given. Colors is always observed standing and in silence. Please refrain from sitting, speaking or otherwise creating noise.
Am I allowed to bring a plus one?
Because of limited venue space, we unfortunately can't accommodate plus-ones beyond those named on wedding invitations. If you think we made a mistake, just call me!
Am I allowed to bring my children?
As much as we would love to celebrate with everyone we cannot host any children at our wedding. We appreciate your understanding.
So… where’s your wedding registry?
We decided to skip the registry — back in the 1920s, they were all about fine china and silverware for couples starting their homes. We’re lucky to have what we need, so if you’d like to give something, a contribution toward our future together would mean a lot to us.
I have another question, who should I ask?
Call or text us! We appreciate everyone joining us on short notice and are SO EXCITED. Any question, please dont hesitate.
