FAQs
Feel free to reach out to Sophia, Vicky Skouras or Allison Hughes for any other questions and they will direct you to the right answer or person.
What is the dress code for your wedding?
Formal or Semi-Formal Attire (e.g., classic, traditional, and elegant options like a semi-formal tea-length or maxi). Dressy sandals, chunky heels, and wedges are recommended footwear options. For men, suit and tie (optional), a breathable sport coat or unique blazer is always fun!
A shawl is recommended as both nights will be outdoors/tented, and there may be inclement weather or a drop in temperature in the evening.
What’s the weather in Watch Hill like?
Like most of New England in June, Watch Hill temperatures tend to range between 74° and 57°. It rains, on average, 7 days in the month…but, hopefully not on our special weekend!
Are children welcome?
You are welcome to bring your children and enjoy all of the family-friendly activities and attractions Watch Hill has to offer during the day! However - and while we love your little ones - we thought you might like a few nights of relaxation and uninhibited revelry. We respectfully ask that no children attend the rehearsal on Friday (5/31) or the ceremony and reception on Saturday (6/1). If you need guidance regarding childcare during each of these events, feel free to reach out to Sophia for contact information before May 10, 2024.
Will there be vegetarian, dairy-free and/or gluten-free food options?
Yes! If you have any specific dietary needs or restrictions, please list it when you RSVP or let Sophia know before May 10, 2024!
Will there be food / lite bites at the rehearsal and welcome party?
Yes! We will have a whole host of food and drink options on Friday night.
Are there any organized activities planned during the day(s)?
We are currently working with the club to coordinate golf and tennis fund (and potentially a fishing derby!) on both Friday and Saturday! We will have pros with us to keep the tennis courts active and participants of all ages and abilities are welcome!
Access to the beach club and other amenities (e.g. the beach club) will also be available. Feel free to reach out for specifics!
Do I need to bring my own sporting equipment?
There will be a limited number of demo rackets and clubs in the respective pro shops - - and will be first come, first serve (pun intended). We recommend bringing your own if you can (especially, for you lefties!)!
If you’re a fisherman, we recommend bringing any of your fishing gear (including waders and/or wetsuit)!
Sports dress code and etiquette?
Tennis Dress Code: The Misquamicut Club requires all white tennis attire (with minimal trim color). This includes hats, shoes, socks, and warm up attire. Tennis shoes must have non-marking soles and should be mostly white. There are about 10 tennis courts, both clay and hard courts. We will reserve a certain number of courts depending on interest level. Please let us know when you RSVP!
Golf Dress Code: Slacks or full-length Bermuda/walking shorts with a collared shirt, sports blouse and golf shoes required. Shorts no shorter than just above the knee. Appropriate golf shoes are required on the course and practice facilities.
Basic Etiquette: While the club does not officially open until mid-June, other members will be around and using all of the club facilities. It goes without saying, but please be mindful of your noise level, attire and adhere to normal sporting and club etiquette! Such as:
stay near the organized activity area and do not walk across the back of another court or cross onto another court until the players have finished playing a point
speak quietly and never yell when near other members
do not leave cups or food on the ground or benches
return any borrow sporting equipment
hats should be worn with bill forward. No jeans, cut-offs, cargo pants/shorts, bare midriffs, or bathing attire at the Golf Club
We want to have fun, but want to be able to keep the good times rolling!
