FAQs
Question
Are you sending formal invitations?
Answer
You betcha! We'll mail you an invitation, but if you know your plans beforehand feel free to let us know on the RSVP webpage.
Question
What should I wear to the ceremony?
Answer
Think fun, colorful, party attire, that makes you want to dance your socks off because two people you love finally tied the knot. And then make it even more fun. Now, THAT'S what we'd love for you to wear! Truly: we're hoping our wedding gives you a reason to get dressed up, and please let it be the excuse you've been waiting for to wear or buy something super fabulous. In a more traditional sense: we're talking semi-formal or cocktail attire (and feel free to add some frills, feathers, sequins, bow ties, etc. if it suits you). P.S. Cooper Molera is an indoor + outdoor venue, and evenings get chilly in Monterey, so bring an extra layer just in case!
Question
Do you have a hotel room block?
Answer
We opted to not do a hotel room block, as most of our guests are making their own personalized trip traveling from the MidWest or East Coast. There are plenty of hotel options in downtown Monterey that are all within walking distance to the venue! Check out our Google Map with recommended hotels: www.bit.ly/anna-and-stephens-recommendations.
Question
What time should we arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
We recommend getting to Cooper Molera 10-15 minutes before the ceremony starts at 4 p.m. Cooper Molera has a great coffee shop on the property called Alta; arrive a bit earlier (3:30 or so) if you'd like to grab a coffee or treat before taking a seat.
Question
Will the ceremony + reception be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
Both! The Barns are an indoor-outdoor venue, so we'll likely have the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing across the property.
Question
Are there other wedding events I'm invited to?
Answer
Yes! All of them! Please join us Friday evening for the welcome party and Sunday morning for a send-off. Learn more on the page called "Festivities."
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
Ooh la la! In order to keep our guest list on track we are most likely only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. That said, please text or email us with any questions or recent love interests we should know about!
Question
What about the kiddos?
Answer
Bring 'em, leave 'em, totally up to you. Your children are invited to all of the events, and whatever makes it easiest and fun for you is great by us.
