Travel
Hotel
Hampton Inn & Suites Tucson Tech Park
This hotel does not offer courtesy blocks for weddings. However, it is the closest option to the venue as well as the homes of the groom’s parents and sister. Guests who prefer to stay closer to town or use a different hotel may consider the Hilton Tucson East or another property near Interstate 10. Please note: for non-locals, hotels on the north side of Tucson may appear closer on a map but often require longer travel times due to limited freeway access. This can significantly increase commute time to the venue. We recommend planning accordingly.
Hotel
Hilton Tucson East
This hotel does not offer courtesy blocks for weddings. However, it is located closer to town, making it a convenient option for families who may need additional accommodations, want easier access to local attractions, or prefer an alternative to the Hampton Inn & Suites Tucson Tech Park.
Wedding Party
Emily
Maid of Honor
Emily is Olivia's cousin and they have been close since they were little. Emily has been an essential part of the wedding planning process from visiting venues during yearly Girl's Trips to Tucson, to making calls to vendors remotely from Minnesota.
Jena
Bridesmaid
Jena and Olivia have been friends for as long as they can remember, and have made it a point to keep in touch, no matter how far away life takes them.
Rylee
Bridesmaid
Rylee and Olivia were roommates through most of college, including when they studied abroad together in England. They bonded over studying for chemistry tests and binge-watching Sherlock.
Sabrina
Bridesmaid
Sabrina and Olivia became friends when they were both new to Tucson. They quickly bonded over hiking, escape rooms, and dominating at Harry Potter pub trivia. Although Sabrina has since moved to California, they still keep in touch with frequent virtual game nights.
Julia
Bridesmaid
Olivia met Julia through Anthony, as they have been close work friends for years. The three of them have since enjoyed frequent hikes at Tumamoc, movies, and bowling nights.
Taylor
Bridesmaid
Taylor is Olivia's future sister-in-law and she has already fit in well with the family on trips to the California coast and Sedona. She even tagged along on the miserable 3-day drive to help move Olivia to Tucson several years ago. Olivia looks forward to officially welcoming Taylor to the family in Fall 2026.
Levin
Ring Bearer
Levin is the son of the maid of honor and has been visiting "Anthony and Olivia's house!" yearly since he was a baby. He loves dinosaurs, swimming, and running around to the song "Danger Zone".
Robert
Best Boy
Birth-giver to Anthony’s beloved godchild Prince, Robby has known him for over three decades - the entirety of Bobert's existence. Lil' Bobby Jr. has been an essential counter balance to Anthony's shenanigans and bad decisions. Though Billy disagrees with the groom on the cinematically perfect tragedy Attack of the Clones—a tale proving true love transcends space, age gaps, loss, mental illness, political turmoil, galactic war, and destiny—the Best Boy has been there for the groom when he needs him most. The Batman to his bumblebee.. He is also in love with Anthony’s mom.
Tyler
Groomsman
Tyler has been Anthony's childhood crush since they bonded over spinning lightsabers and Spongebob while doing their best Kobe Bryant impression at the basketball court of the "Big Field" of Canyon View Elementary School. Despite their love blooming over the years, Tyler's perfect partner, Bailey has also become a lifelong friend to the groom and his bride, and both have earned their spot as honorary members of the Reyes clan. Olivia and Anthony always look forward to enjoying sushi, playing games - tabletop and video, and exchanging Legos everytime they cross paths with Tyler, Bailey and their beautiful puppy, Rey.
Isak
Groomsman
Anthony's first impression of Isak was taken from a home video when the groom first visited Olivia's childhood home in Menomonie, Wisconsin. Captured on a burned DVD, kid-Isak, garbed in ballet shoes, can be seen spinning and zipping past to the tune of "If I Can't Love Her" from Beauty And The Beast: The Broadway Musical. In typical fashion, Olivia can be seen bossing and correcting Isak. It was a disappointing surprise to Anthony when they first met during a family outing to San Francisco. While Isak’s fun and silly side was still obviously apparent, he in fact no longer spins and zips to "The Beast's Song" in ballet shoes. Throughout the years, Anthony has seen Isak and his partner, Taylor 's kindness, unmatched brilliance, and warm-heartedness on full display and can't wait for their wedding in Fall 2026.
Gino
Groomsman
Survivor of Anthony’s first sleepover, Gino—his maternal cousin—has witnessed Anthony in his full, chaotic form. From Anthony’s dilettante era as an original member of the Filipino Backstreet Boys to watching him destroy yet another family heirloom during a Coca-Cola-induced drunkcapade, Gabe quickly learned Anthony is a lot and deeply sympathizes with Olivia. Still, Dr. Escudero knows how much Anthony treasures their memories: reminiscing about Ma Helen’s unbeatable cooking, 100-percenting Kingdom Hearts during a week-long visit, hunting for giant saguaros in Tucson with his wonderful partner, Yanise, and bonding over basketball—on the blacktop and in the NBA. Anthony will admit he is still bitter about losing to him last year in Fantasy Basketball.
Nico
Groomsman
Gino’s baby brother, Nicolas, has been adventuring with his older brother, the groom, and the groom’s little brother since he could walk. Despite being the littlest, Nico has always been able to shine on his own, sharing countless personal moments with Anthony — from getting demolished by an 8-year-old Parker in Halo Reach to dreaming of mastering the saxophone. In recent years, he and Anthony have bonded over proper perm care, wedding-planning struggles—congrats to him and his charismatic fiancée, Kiarah—and the fact that he can run a mile in under five minutes (Anthony just wishes he could do that). But yeah, he’ll beat you in a race to that tree…
Stefan
Groomsman
The youngest of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Stefan—the Michelangelo—has always been the source of fun and the heart of the Reyes Quartet. Alongside his sister, Kathleen, the groom, and his younger brother, Robert, the four were inseparable at Ma Cora and Dad Tony’s home in Moorpark. They were known for loitering at playgrounds, sprinting through Chinatown in ski masks, battling in Pokémon Stadium on the N64, and seeing who could draw the biggest hair and muscles on their favorite Dragon Ball Z characters. While similar antics still occur in adulthood, the groom has loved seeing Stef’s more mature, vulnerable side during adventures with him and his charming partner, Kim. Stefan and Anthony still can’t talk about what happened in Minneapolis in 2018…
Raina
Flower Girl
Raina may be a carbon copy of her Uncle Anthony—anime obsession, need to be the center of attention, and uncanny ability to give the groom’s sister a pulsing vein—but Anthony still can’t outrank Olivia on Raina’s list of favorite people. The groom suspects this is due to Raina’s thirst for Anthony-specific schadenfreude, but Olivia has fully embraced being an aunt to the saucy pre-teen. They bond over silly puppers, breakfast food, cheering each other on stage (dance and choir for Raina, violin and teeth extractions for Olivia), and making Anthony squirm. Despite all that, Anthony loves them both deeply.
