FAQs

Question

Is there a dress code and/or color code for the wedding?

Answer

Yes, there is a dress code! We kindly request that our guests adhere to cocktail attire. For our wedding, cocktail attire means dressing up without being too formal. Women can wear a nice dress (any length works) or a chic jumpsuit with heels, while men should wear a suit or a blazer with dress pants and dress shoes. Please NO jeans or casual pants. Think stylish and classy, perfect for a fun and celebratory evening! For the color code, we ask that guests refrain from brightly-hued or neon colors (like reds, blues, greens, yellows, etc) and/or busy/loud patterns. Neutrals (NO white), pastels, or more subdued colored items would work best with the wedding theme/aesthetic! We appreciate you for respecting our requests and can't wait to celebrate with you!

Question

Can I RSVP online or do I have to mail in my RSVP?

Answer

We invite you to RSVP online here on our wedding website by going to the 'Registry' tab. Just simply type in your first and last name to RSVP for you and the rest of your party.

Question

What date should I RSVP by?

Answer

We kindly request you submit your RSVP by October 1st.

Question

Do you have a wedding registry?

Answer

Yes, we do! You can access our registry through this website by clicking on the 'Registry' tab. Our Zola registry is unique because it allows us to add gifts directly from Zola as well as link items from external registries. Currently, we have been able to link items from Target, Crate & Barrel, and Anthropologie to our Zola registry, however, we were unable to link our registry with Williams Sonoma/Pottery Barn. If you'd prefer, you can find and purchase items from these external registries by searching for the bride's name, Anyssa Dominguez, on the registry pages of those websites.

Question

Where should we bring/send our wedding gift?

Answer

If you choose a gift from our online registries, they are set up to send your thoughtful presents directly to us. If you prefer to shop in person, you're welcome to bring the gift to the wedding. We will have a special spot at the venue for gifts and cards.

Question

What time should I arrive at your wedding ceremony?

Answer

Our wedding ceremony will begin at 4:00 pm on Saturday, October 26th. We kindly ask our guests to arrive at least 30 minutes early and no later than 15 minutes before the ceremony starts to ensure ample time for parking and seating. **Note: The venue can be a little tricky to find depending on which navigation app you use. We recommend using Google Maps and searching for 'Westwood Barns'. Please plan for a bit of extra time to ensure you arrive without any trouble.
