Let’s Celebrate

Join us in Bokeelia, Florida, as we say “I do” at Tarpon Lodge on May 16, 2026. We can’t wait to gather our favorite people in one of our favorite places.

Nestled along the water, surrounded by mangroves and palm trees, Tarpon Lodge exudes laid-back, Old Florida charm. Get ready for poolside hangs, maybe some island exploration and fishing, and a weekend that ends with bringing everyone together to help us celebrate our next chapter.

Please see below for more information.

Formal invitations to follow.

  • The nearest airport is Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers, about an hour away.

    We recommend a rental car — Pine Island is charming but not exactly Uber-friendly.

    For accommodations, we’ll be placing guests in rooms directly at Tarpon Lodge and will send an email to those staying onsite with details on how to pay — no need to book on your own. We’ll have the property to ourselves (yay!), but we have limited space.

    For guests not staying at Tarpon Lodge, we’ll send an email to you with nearby options recommended by the venue, including cozy island inns and vacation rentals. We’ll also arrange transportation to Tarpon Lodge, so you don’t have to worry about coming over to the property to relax and attend the events.

    For guests not staying at Tarpon Lodge, here are nearby options recommended by the venue and close to all the weekend events:

    • Angler Inn – A cozy, Old Florida–style stay perfect for guests who want to be close to the water.
