FAQs

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please be seated at the ceremony site, Heritage Park, Dana Point, by 5PM. Please consider the time it will take to park and walk over to the site.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Parking for the ceremony can be found in the neighborhoods off of Old Golden Lantern. To find Old Golden Lantern from the harbor, drive East on Golden Lantern, make a left at Del Prado Ave, and a left onto Old Golden Lantern. If you would like to walk to the ceremony from the reception parking lots, that is an option as well; you can climb up the *many* stairs starting at Dana Point Harbor Drive near Casitas Place. Please note that this latter option may require you to kick off your heels. ;) For the reception, it is recommended to park in the What A Dish parking lot. If the parking lot is full, there is also plenty of parking across the street at the Dana Point Harbor.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

The suggested dress code is beach cocktail attire. This can include cocktail dresses, snazzy sundresses, chic jumpsuits, and slacks, fun ties, etc. The wedding will take place in the summertime near the beach, so jackets are optional and colors are encouraged! However, the Bride and Groom want their guests to be comfortable and able to express themselves, so they encourage them to wear whatever makes them feel most fabulous! :)
