Q&A

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Black Tie Optional We’d love for you to dress up and feel your best—tuxedos and floor-length gowns are welcome, but not required. Think of it as black tie optional with a relaxed twist: cocktail dresses, suits, or dressy separates are all perfectly appropriate. It’s more about feeling confident and festive than following strict rules. If you’re wondering what to wear, just aim for polished and celebratory.

Question

Is there parking?

Answer

There is ample parking available at Marina Village for all guests. If you’re staying at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina, the venue is just under a mile away—an easy walk or a quick Uber ride.

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

While we love all of your little ones, we've decided to keep our wedding a mostly adults-only celebration. The only children attending will be close family members who are part of the wedding party. Your invitation will be made out to "The {Your Last Name} Family" if your children have been invited and "Mr. & Mrs." if only you and your significant other have been invited.

Question

Can I bring a guest?

Answer

We unfortunately cannot accommodate additional guests. Your invitation will be made out to "{Your Name} and Guest" or the guests name if a plus one has been given to you.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive at the venue NO later than 15 minutes before the ceremony; you can arrive as early at 4pm. This will allow time for you to park, sign the guest book, and find your seat.

Question

Is there an open bar?

Answer

Yes! The drinks are on us, and the hangover is on you!

Question

Where are you registered?

Answer

For our registry, we’ve set up a First Home Fund and a Honeymoon Fund. After living together for over nine years, we’re fortunate to already have everything we need for our home—so we’re focusing on building new memories together!

Question

How and when do we RSVP?

Answer

For your convenience, we have opted to use an online RSVP system, which can be accessed through our wedding website. Rather than returning a mailed response card, we kindly ask that you confirm your attendance by submitting your RSVP online.

Question

Are you doing a hotel block?

Answer

We have opted not to reserve a hotel room block, as the majority of our guests have indicated they will be staying in Airbnb accommodations or other alternative lodging options rather than traditional hotels.

Question

Can we take pictures?

Answer

We kindly ask that you join us in being fully present during our ceremony by observing our request for an unplugged ceremony. We have hired a professional photographer to thoughtfully capture every special moment, and we want everyone to enjoy the experience without the distraction of phones or cameras. However, we warmly welcome you to take photos and videos during the cocktail hour and reception—we look forward to seeing the memories you capture throughout the celebration!

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

October is one of the most beautiful months in San Diego—typically warm, sunny, and dry, with the occasional heatwave. We recommend checking the forecast closer to the date and dressing comfortably for the weather.
