FAQs
Question
How should I RSVP?
Answer
To RSVP, simply visit the RSVP page on our website or scan the QR code included with your invitation. We kindly ask that you submit your response by September 11th, 2026, so we can finalize our plans accordingly.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
To allow all guests, including parents, a night of relaxation and celebration, we respectfully request no children at the ceremony or reception unless they are a part of the wedding party. Kids are encouraged to come to the Welcome Hike on Saturday to celebrate with us!
Question
Can I bring an additional guest?
Answer
While we wish we could accommodate everybody, unfortunately due to venue constraints only those guests listed when you enter your name on the RSVP page will be able to attend.
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
We kindly ask that you arrive 15–30 minutes before the ceremony begins, allowing time for everyone to be seated and settled before we start. The ceremony will begin promptly at 5pm. As a bonus, you're welcome to arrive early and enjoy all-day access to our beautiful gardens—a perfect opportunity to explore and soak in the surroundings at your own pace.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Our wedding is semi-formal. Gentlemen: suits or sport coats. Ladies: long or cocktail-length dresses. Please avoid jeans and white/ivory. Since our venue is outdoors at the Desert Botanical Garden with some walking, we recommend comfortable shoes like wedges or flats.
Question
IS SMOKING ALLOWED AT THE VENUE?
Answer
Smoking is permitted only in designated areas of the paved parking lot. Please look for signage to locate these spaces. We ask that all guests respect this policy to help us maintain our celebration.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony and reception?
Answer
Yes, parking is available at the Desert Botanical Garden. We kindly ask that if you plan to enjoy cocktails, please arrange for a designated driver or use a rideshare service such as Uber, Lyft, or Waymo.
