Please RSVP by September 30, 2024.
The ceremony and reception will be taking place at the same venue. There will be signage that will direct you to the appropriate areas of the venue for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. 22232 El Paseo, Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688
Please arrive at 2:30 pm to allow yourself to get seated and settled before the ceremony begins. The ceremony will begin promptly at 3:00 pm.
After the ceremony, the wedding party and close family will be taking pictures nearby for around an hour. Guests will head straight to an outdoor courtyard, where we will be serving finger foods and beverages during a cocktail hour. Guests will then be guided into the reception hall.
Parking is free. There is a parking lot on either side of the venue in which you can park. If parking is full, there are a couple of large shopping center parking lots right across the street.
Unfortunately, we have a strict guest list to stay on budget. Our celebration is strictly RSVP only, and will only be able to accommodate those listed on your wedding invitation. Thank you for understanding!
As much as we would like to invite all the children of our friends, it is only possible to accommodate the children of our close family. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home. We hope this allows you to relax and enjoy the evening!
Semi-formal/cocktail attire Please refrain from wearing long black gowns, as this will be the bridesmaids and close relatives attire. Additionally, please don’t be the person that “accidentally” gets red wine spilled on them. :)
The ceremony and cocktail hour will take place outdoors, so please be sure to check the weather forecast for the day to allow yourself to dress appropriately. While the reception will take place mostly indoors, you will need to be outside briefly to order and receive dinner!
Nothing fancy here! Throughout cocktail hour and the reception, we will have a table with small appetizers and treats. For dinner, we will have a TK burger food truck parking onsite at our venue, so you can order your meal, have it made fresh for you, and take it inside to enjoy. For your meal, you can choose between a cheeseburger, hamburger, veggie burger, or grilled chicken sandwich. Each meal is served with fries, sodas, and bottled water.
Please RSVP as normal and let either Celine or Jalen know which part of the wedding you are able to attend. (By text would be great!)
Though it sounds cheesy, your presence (and dance moves on the dance floor) on our special day is the greatest gift of all. If you do wish to bless us with a gift, we would greatly appreciate a contribution to our honeymoon fund. On this website, there is a registry section that allows you to do that. There will also be a wishing well available at the reception for your contributions and best wishes.
Yes! If you plan on utilizing the open bar, we encourage you to bring some extra cash to show our bartender some love!
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Celine or Jalen (but probably Celine) if you have any other questions, comments, or concerns.
