The Venue is a small, quaint little homestead in Oak Glen, Ca, nestled at the base of the San Gabriel mountains. Its about a two hour drive from Los Angeles, and about 40 mins away from Palm Springs! Oak Glen is famous for their apple orchards and farms and is very picturesque!
Yes! Deciding to have the wedding in the middle of the week was not an easy decision, as we understand that it is inconvenient for many people but it is significantly cheaper! If you've planned a wedding recently you'll understand that saving costs where you can is necessary! We appreciate everyone who comes out and spends the day with us, and if you can't make it, that's okay! We more than understand! And look at it this way, since the wedding is on Thursday, you still have the whole weekend to do as you please!
We recommend carpooling if you can! Since its quite a drive, carpooling can break it up and also let you take advantage of the fast lane! Make sure you also pick a designated driver, even if you're planning on staying local for the night! The venue is still about a 20 min drive from the nearest town, on a windy road!
This, of course, depends on where you are located, but you should expect it to take about 2 1/2 hours from the Orange County/Los Angeles area! The Inland Empire is notorious for traffic! Please allow for plenty of time to make it!
We have started to set up a honeymoon registry through Honeyfund. It is linked through this website, but as we haven't planned our honeymoon yet we haven't listen many specific things! We are fairly sure we want a Tanzanian safari, but that does require some planning and unfortunately we haven't had much time to devote to that! As far as actual gifts, we truly have everything we need as far as housewares, electronics, and decor go! We definitely value experiences over things and would really love a chance to get to have a unique and adventurous honeymoon in Africa!
