FAQs

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

No. While we do love your kids, this is an adult only wedding. We are very limited by the venue capacity of 150.

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by November 1, 2022.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

It's a wedding. You know the drill. This is a lovely historic venue and the ceremony and reception will be outdoors. Rethink stilettos, as the ceremony will be in the front yard on the grass. We will also have access to the entire first floor of the home. Back yard is a paved patio with grassy lounge areas.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Yes! Take a look at the Travel tab. We secured a hotel block with great room rates at the Ayres Hotel. If you're interested in renting a house, there are lots of options through Airbnb, VRBO, Vacasa, etc. If you want to be near the venue, look in Old Towne Orange, and if you want a beach vibe, Newport Beach is approx 20min from our venue.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes! You must park at the designated lot (FREE!) at 449 West Palmyra, Orange, CA 92688. A shuttle will transport guests to and from the venue. It's about a 5min drive, so will be 10min between drop offs. Please view the parking map here: https://www.thefrenchestate.com/parking/
