FAQs
Question
Dress code?
Answer
We would love to see all family and friends dressed up for our big day! We kindly request a formal attire. Please keep in mind this is a Church wedding with a partial outdoor reception on a hillside at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains so it will be chilly at night. Please dress formally but bring a light jacket. We want all our guests to be comfortable.
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
Apologies... Due to keeping this day intimate (and on a budget lol), we decided to only invite family and close friends. Please kindly keep guests to those listed on the invitation. We appreciate your understanding.
Question
Are kids welcome?

Regrettably, we are unable to accommodate children unless they are listed on the invitation. Invitations will be specific and will include the names of the children who are invited. However, we encourage you to use this evening as a "night out" for yourself. Cheers!
