FAQs
Question
How and when should I RSVP?
Answer
You can RSVP through this website, ideally by the end of 2023! There will be mailed invitations in a few months, but we'd really appreciate concrete yes's or no's before then if you're able. Please ensure you include your dietary restrictions, and that you only RSVP 'yes' to an event if you are certain you will attend.
Question
Do I have a plus-one?
Answer
To make sure we fit all of our favorite people into our cozy venue, we were forced to be sparse with plus-ones. Unless your partner was included in your invitation or they received an invitation directly, you do not have a plus-one.
Question
Can I bring my kids?
Answer
No, this is a child-free wedding. We're sorry!
Question
Will there be parking?
Answer
Yes, there will be plenty of parking space at the venue. That said, we expect that anyone driving to the venue will not be drinking at the reception. If you do plan on drinking, we highly encourage you to walk, shuttle, or Uber to the venue.
Question
Will there be a shuttle to / from the venue?
Answer
There will be a shuttle taking those staying at the Jenner Inn to the ceremony venue at 2pm. After the reception, shuttles will take people to the Jenner Inn for the afterparty (or to head to their rooms). The shuttles will bring anyone who needs a ride from the afterparty back to their cars or other nearby lodging in 30 minute intervals. We highly encourage everyone who isn't staying at the Jenner Inn to stay at either the Bodega Harbor Inn or Bodega Bay Inn so that they can take a 6 minute walk to and from the venue rather than rely on transportation. NOTE: There are very little Ubers that service this area, and internet will be limited at the venue.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
Dress codes are provided in the schedule tab. Please don't forget a jacket; Bodega Bay can get very chilly!
Question
Do you have a hotel block?
Answer
Yes, we have a discounted rate at The Jenner Inn (provided in the "Travel" tab) but space is quite limited. The Bodega Harbor Inn and Bodega Bay Inn are less expensive options, even with our discount at The Jenner Inn. We strongly prefer you choose one of the three lodging options listed in the "Travel" tab for logistical ease, but if none of those are to your liking, some other nearby hotels include The Lodge at Bodega Bay, Inn At The Tides, and Bodega Coast Inn & Suites.
Question
What is the weather like in Bodega Bay?
Answer
Mid-September in Bodega Bay has seen average temperatures of low 50s to low 70s, with gentle breeze, partial cloud cover, and a very low chance of rain.
Question
What is the food / drink situation?
Answer
Appetizers, dinner, and late night snacks will be provided on Saturday. We will ensure there is a vegan and gluten free option. The reception will have a bar serving unlimited beer, wine, and two signature cocktails. You'll need to buy your own drinks at the afterparty.
Question
Can I have my phone out?
Answer
Please do NOT have your phone out during the ceremony. We'd love you to be in the moment, and hopefully that extends into the reception as well. Thank you!
