Question

Do I have to stay overnight on Catalina island?

Answer

If you are attending our wedding, you will need to stay overnight on Catalina Island as our wedding is from 6:00pm-11:00pm and the ferry stops running at 9:30pm.

Question

What events should I plan to attend?

Answer

We are still in the beginning stages of planning and will continue you to keep you updated. However, our plan is to host a welcome get together in the evening on Thursday, June 5th. Our wedding ceremony and reception will be Friday, June 6th from 6:00pm-11:00pm.

Question

What is my schedule doesn't allow me to arrive until Thursday?

Answer

We completely understand that each of you have unique schedules and obligations. Our suggested itinerary is simply outlined to have guests coming in on Wednesday to be on the safe side and allow time for you to get settled. However, if you are able to find an early flight time that aligns with an early ferry time on Thursday that works too! Also, note that our welcome get together is not a required event by any means - if you are only able to make it to the wedding ceremony itself we will be just as happy to celebrate with you then.

Question

What is the weather like on Catalina?

Answer

During summer months, the average high hovers around 72 degrees F, while the average low is around 65 degrees F.

Question

Answer

Both! Our wedding ceremony will be outdoors on Descanso Beach Club's grass lawn area. The cocktail hour will likely be outdoors as well. For the reception, we will move inside to Catherine's Terrace inside the beach club.
