FAQs
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Black tie optional within our color palette. Think floor-length gowns and suits in earth tones: browns, greens, tans, and light yellows. See the mood board above with outfit inspiration to help you pick the perfect look. We want everyone looking and feeling their best!
Question
Are children welcome?
Answer
We love your little ones, but this will be a 21+ celebration. We hope you’ll enjoy a fun night out, and we appreciate you making arrangements!
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
Yes! We’ll have an open bar with signature cocktails, beer, and wine available throughout the evening until 10:30 PM. Another great reason to grab a rideshare!
Question
What about food?
Answer
Cocktail hour will feature appetizers, followed by dinner from an upscale taco bar during the reception. Multiple options will be available for you to choose from in the moment, so come hungry!
Question
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
Answer
We’re asking all guests to enjoy an unplugged ceremony—please keep phones and cameras put away so everyone can be fully present. We have a wonderful photographer capturing every moment! Outside of the ceremony, feel free to snap away and share.
Question
Is there parking at the venue?
Answer
Yes! There is on-site parking available at Hillside Estate. That said, the venue is located on a hilltop accessed by a winding road, so we highly recommend rideshare for a stress-free evening , especially if you plan to enjoy the open bar.
Question
What if I don’t RSVP in time?
Answer
If we don’t receive your RSVP by June 1st, it will automatically be marked as a “no.” We’ll miss celebrating with you, but it’s important that we provide accurate numbers to our vendors. Please don’t miss the deadline!
Question
I RSVPed, but my plans changed. Who do I contact?
Answer
Please text Bailey directly. Just a heads up—she won’t be checking messages during the wedding weekend, so get in touch beforehand!
Question
Will there be assigned seating?
Answer
Yes! We’ll have assigned seating at the reception, please look for your table assignment following the ceremony.
Question
How do I know if I have a plus one?
Answer
If you’ve been given a plus one, it will show up when you go to RSVP on this site. If you don’t see the option, we kindly ask that you attend solo—we can’t wait to celebrate with you!
Question
I'm coming from out of town — where should I stay and what should I do?
Answer
We've got you covered! Head over to our Travel & Things to Do pages for hotel recommendations, our favorite local spots, and everything you need to make the most of your trip to Southern California.
Question
What's the weather going to be like?
Answer
Mid-August in San Marcos is warm and sunny, with temperatures in the 80s and clear skies. Both the ceremony and reception will be held outdoors on a hilltop, so expect warm weather during the day and a cooler breeze as the evening sets in. Please dress accordingly and stay hydrated. We'll have plenty of drinks to help with that.
Question
When should I arrive?
Answer
Please plan to arrive by 5:00 PM. The ceremony begins promptly at 5:30 PM.
