Question

What should I wear to the ceremony?

Answer

Guests should wear cocktail attire.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

Sacramento in May is usually in the mid 80's but cools down at night (thanks to the Delta Breeze)! The reception is inside but you may want to prepare for it to be cooler. Fun Fact: there are plenty of weather websites and apps to check for more detailed weather info!

Question

What time should we get to the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will be starting promptly at 5pm, so please arrive at least 15 minutes early. We will update you if anything changes.

Question

How do I get to Sacramento?

Answer

By plane, train, or automobile. By Plane: The easiest way is to fly into Sacramento Intl Airport (SMF). It's about a 15 minute drive from downtown Sacramento and the venue. Ride share or taxis are readily available or you could rent a car from the airport. By Train: Amtrak travels directly into downtown Sacramento. Check out their website for rates and more details. By Car: Drive to Sacramento. If you are unsure, use GPS. BEWARE: Drivers are crazy here, that is not an understatement. Drivers routinely run red lights and do not merge correctly. It is a pain in the butt. That is why Rachel drives the way she does.

Question

Do I need to rent a car in Sacramento?

Answer

For wedding events and getting to and from the airport, most likely not. Ride share is readily available throughout the city. However, if you want to explore and do any day trips, renting a car is a good option. While the areas for wedding activities are fairly condensed, a lot of Sacramento can only be easily seen if you do have a car.

Question

I am staying at the Sterling Hotel. Is there breakfast available?

Answer

Unfortunately, no. But there is a wide range of coffee shops, restaurants, and convenience stores within walking distance. We recommend Cafeteria 15L for a sit down breakfast/ brunch. For coffee shops there is Goodside coffee, Cora coffee, and a Starbucks about 4 blocks away.

Question

I am driving to the wedding venue. Where should I park?

Answer

There is limited street parking with a time limit of 1 hour at a time. There are two parking garages within a few blocks. Our recommendation is Memorial Garage located on H St between 14th and 15th. The other parking garage option is 1331 I St. Visit https://www.cityofsacramento.gov/public-works/parking to learn more about what to expect at these garages.
