FAQs
Question
What time should I arrive at Spencer’s for the ceremony?
Answer
Please plan to arrive at Spencer's by 5:30pm. Champagne and non-alcoholic Citrus Spritzers will be served on the upper lawn prior to our ceremony on the lower lawn. While our ceremony will start promptly at 6pm, we want to make sure you have a cool beverage in hand and are seated in time.
Question
Is there parking at Spencer's?
Answer
There is limited free street parking near Spencer's and a free downtown Palm Springs parking garage about a .5 mile walk down Baristo road. While Spencer's restaurant has valet parking for a small fee, the restaurant valet closes at 10pm so we do not recommend this option if you plan to party until midnight with us.
Question
Why is the valet parking for Spencer’s Restaurant NOT recommended?
Answer
We do not recommend the valet parking at Spencer's restaurant because the restaurant valet closes at 10pm and you will need to retrieve your car from valet and find street parking if you plan on celebrating until midnight with us.
Question
Where will I find the bus to or from Spencer’s?
Answer
The bus will be parked outside the main entrance of Margaritaville. Please be sure to be on the bus by 5:15pm. At the end of the evening, the bus will be outside Spencer’s for guests to board at 11:45pm and return back to Margaritaville.
Question
Dress to impress in warm weather: no really, what should I wear?
Answer
Our wedding ceremony will take place on the lawn – please bear this in mind when choosing footwear (no stilettos) and dress comfortably for the heat! Check the temperatures, while we've done our best to limit your direct sun exposure, Palm Springs can be warm during the day and fluctuates at night. Think impressive and festive: A suit with a shirt and formal shoes, ties (preferably with a pop of color), no need for a tux; party dresses at tea, knee or floor length in a color that makes you feel fabulous with a block heel, wedge or even flats.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
This will be an adults-only ceremony and reception. We hope this will allow you a much-deserved night off to celebrate with us!
Question
Can I take photos during your ceremony?
Answer
We invite you to be truly present with us during our nuptials with an unplugged ceremony. We kindly ask that phones and cameras remain silent and out of sight until the ceremony's conclusion.
Question
Are you registered? Where?
Answer
Celebrating with you on our wedding day is the greatest gift we could ask for! If you do wish to surprise us with a gift, a contribution towards our honeymoon or newlywed fund would be most appreciated. You can find everything under the Registry area of this website. We'll also have a card box at our reception if you'd prefer to provide something on our wedding day.
