FAQs

Question

Transportation?

Answer

Transportation will be provided. We will have shuttles that will start loading at 1:45 PM for a prompt departure from The Seabird at 2:00 PM to take you to the ceremony. After the ceremony concludes, shuttles will take you back to The Seabird for the reception including dinner, dancing, and live music! If you are not staying at The Seabird you can still take the shuttles.

Question

If I drive, is there parking at the ceremony and reception venues?

Answer

Yes. Mission San Luis Rey in Oceanside offers ample, free parking for visitors. The main parking lot is located to the right of the Mission, and is accessed by driving down the driveway after entering the property. There are also designated accessible parking spaces at the main entrance to the Visitor Center. The Seabird will be offering a discounted parking rate of $15 for guests attending our wedding. Upon arrival, mention you are attending the Bracamonte/Downs wedding to receive this discounted rate.

Question

Are kids invited?
