Answer

There is plenty of free parking at the church. For the reception, The Firehouse Restaurant offers valet parking for a $10 fee. There is also metered street parking, a nearby parking lot, and a public parking garage. Parking tips: Valet is the easiest—$10 for wedding guests.

Guests paying at storefronts may qualify for up to $5 parking validation.

We kindly ask that guests refrain from taking photos during the wedding ceremony.

Answer

The two closest hotels to Old Sacramento are The Kimpton Sawyer and Embassy Suites. You’ll also find several other hotel options listed under the Travel tab on our wedding website.

No, they are not at the same location. The wedding is in West Sacramento at Holy Cross Parish and the reception is in Old Sacramento at The Firehouse Restaurant. The travel time between these two locations can range from 7 to 15 minutes.

Question

What is the weather typically like in August in Sacramento?What is the weather typically like in August in Sacramento?

Answer

August in Sacramento is typically hot, with daytime temperatures often reaching the mid to high 90s (°F). However, we do often get a natural cooling wind known as the Delta Breeze, which can roll in during the late afternoon or early evening and help cool things down- especially just in time for the reception! That said, since the breeze isn’t guaranteed every day, we recommend dressing for warm weather and staying hydrated. We’ll do our best to keep everyone comfortable!
