Canadian Tuxedos are encouraged :) Black denim is also totally fine!

Question

While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only celebration, except for our flower girls. We hope this can be a fun night out for you!

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Yes! We have two great hotel blocks in San Diego where guests can get a discounted rate. See our travel page for more information.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

Yes! We will be offering transportation to/from the venue from the hotel blocks in Mission Bay. You do not need to stay at the hotels to take the transportation to the venue, but we highly recommend you do! The shuttle to the ceremony will depart around 2:30pm. The shuttle back to the hotels will depart the venue at the conclusion of the reception around 10pm. Don't worry, text reminders will go out closer to the day-of too.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes, there is a small amount of parking at the venue, and you may leave your car overnight if needed. However, we highly recommend utilizing the transportation we're providing to/from the hotel!

Answer

Yes! Dinner will be served family style at each table but there will be a place when you RSVP to note any food allergies or dietary restrictions you have.

Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?

Answer

Yes! We're so thankful so many of you have traveled and want to celebrate with you as much as we can. There is a welcome party on Thursday evening and a beach party on Saturday. Both events are completely optional, but we'd love to see you there :) More details on these events are available in the "Schedule" section of our website.
