FAQs

The Wedding Website of Ben Stoneman and Rebecca Hessler
We'll keep this section updated as we hear questions to share answers with our guests!
Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

We have chosen to make our wedding an adults-only celebration. We hope this gives parents a chance to enjoy the afternoon out, and we truly appreciate your understanding.

Question

Where are you registered for gifts?

Answer

We decided not to create a wedding registry. We have everything we need and are so grateful just to have you with us. Should you wish to give a gift, we'd be touched by a monetary contribution to our future together — specifically, towards a down payment on a home.

Question

When should I arrive?

Answer

Please plan to arrive by 10:45am so you can settle in, grab a drink, and find your seat before the ceremony begins at 11am sharp.

Question

Is there a style guide?

Answer

We want our guests to be comfortable at our wedding! Summer House has a beachy, Southern California decor and, weather permitting, the large windows will likely be open. Men do not need to wear a tie - Ben will not be wearing one, for reference - and women are welcome to wear a sundress/summery outfit.

Question

What's the plan after the wedding ends at 3pm?

Answer

The wedding reception will conclude at 2:50 pm. While Becca and Ben finish the wedding photographs, we encourage anyone who either has a hotel room or who wants to stick around to move over to Pinstripes, which is two blocks from Summer House. We are reserving some bowling lanes for anyone who wants to bowl from 3:30-5:30. Pinstripes also has a great rooftop bar and patio for those who want to hang out but do not want to bowl.

Question

Are there any dinner/breakfast plans?

Answer

There are several dinner options available in Pike & Rose for those who don’t want to drive. Becca and Ben will be concluding the wedding festivities on Saturday late afternoon.
