You can explore the venue and enjoy refreshments starting at 4pm. The ceremony will start at 4:30pm. Plan on arriving at the shuttle pickup at least 10-15 minutes before then to ensure you have time for the short shuttle ride, drop off at the venue, and making your way to the ceremony area.
We are providing shuttles from the St. Francis Assisi Church North parking lot at 1553 Golden Gate Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90026, which will take you to our venue, The Paramour Estate. It is a short 2-3 minute ride. Taking the shuttle is mandatory, there is no parking at The Paramour and they will not allow drop-offs from private vehicles or walk-ons by foot. Shuttles will run all evening. We strongly recommend ride sharing to the shuttle pickup, as limited parking is available at the St. Francis parking lot and cars cannot be left there overnight.
Please be sure to include any allergies or dietary restrictions with your RSVP so our catering company is aware and able to accommodate you. You can check and/or update your RSVP here: https://www.zola.com/wedding/avaandmax2025/rsvp

The attire for the wedding day is cocktail to formal. We want you to look, and more importantly FEEL, good! Please wear a tux if you'd like to but also know it's absolutely not necessary--a suit is also great! And dresses do not have to be long, but, if you want to go for fancy, we encourage it. (Most important is to make sure to wear something you can dance in!) For the welcome party on Friday, the attire is dressy casual. You can dress up or wear jeans, whatever you feel! Max will be in slacks and a patterned button-up shirt. Ava will be in a dress.
