Please let us know if you’ll be joining us by February 19th, 2027. We’re so excited to celebrate with you, and having your response by that date helps us finalize all the important details.
Our ceremony starts right at 11:00 AM — it’s a full Catholic Mass, so being on time means a lot to us! Please plan for the drive and aim to arrive by 10:30–10:45 AM to get parked, say hi, and grab a seat. Doors will close once the procession begins, and we’d hate for anyone to miss the moment!
Cocktail hour kicks off at 6:00 PM at the Riverside Art Museum! Since we’re in the downtown area, give yourself a little extra time for parking or rideshare drop-off. Aim to arrive a few minutes early so you can grab a drink, explore the space, and settle in before dinner and dancing begin!
Yes! At the church, there’s a designated parking lot on-site, so you’re all set for the ceremony. For the reception at the Riverside Art Museum, there isn’t a dedicated lot just for the museum, but parking in Downtown Riverside is free on weekends. Here are your best options: The Cheech museum has a parking lot just one block away. Several nearby city lots and street parking spots are available. Rideshare drop-off is easy if you’d rather skip parking altogether.
If your invitation includes a plus one, it will say so! We’d love to include everyone, but due to venue space and logistics, we’re only able to accommodate the guests listed on each invite. Thank you for understanding!
We love your little ones — truly. But we’re keeping the celebration adults-only. We hope this can be a night off to relax, celebrate, and enjoy yourselves!
We’re going for polished and stylish with a little extra personality! Think cocktail attire such as dresses, suits, or separates that make you feel great and ready to celebrate. Don’t be afraid to add bold colors, fun patterns, or unique touches to show off your creative side. Avoid anything too casual such as jeans or anything in white. Since the reception is on a rooftop in March, comfy shoes like block heels, wedges, or flats are your best bet. And bring a jacket or shawl to stay cozy when the breeze rolls in. Look great, feel comfortable, and get ready for a wonderful night! Need some inspo? Check out our Pinterest board here: https://tinyurl.com/guestfitspo
We feel so grateful to already have many of the things we need. What means the most to us now is building a future together. Instead of traditional gifts, we would deeply appreciate contributions to our First Home Fund to help make that dream a reality. You can easily contribute online through our wedding website. But truly, having you with us to celebrate this special time is the greatest gift of all.
Yes! We have a little time between the Mass and cocktail hour, so feel free to make a mini–day date out of it. Here are some fun ideas nearby: Visit The Cheech Museum — it’s just a block from the reception and SO worth it. Grab a latte at Back to the Grind (great coffee + cozy vibes). Wander the Mission Galleria Antique Shoppe — tons of cute finds + there’s a coffee shop attached. Check out Dragonmarsh, a super charming apothecary/spiritual shop. Or head back to your hotel to rest and freshen up before dinner and dancing. Make it an adventure — just be back by 6:00 PM for cocktail hour!
After the reception wraps up, we’re planning to keep the party going with a casual night out at some local bars nearby. Since the venue is downtown, it’s easy to hop around and enjoy drinks, laughs, and good vibes with anyone who wants to join the after-party fun! No formal RSVP needed — just come ready to celebrate a little longer if you’re up for it!
