Welcome Drinks & Small Bites
6:00 pm - 8:30 pm
2502 Washington St, Julian, CA 92036
Come looking and feeling your best! We'd love to see you in smart-casual attire — think stylish jeans paired with a nice top, blouse, polo, or button-down. Dresses, jumpsuits, and pant suits are always welcome too. Leave the golf shirts and flip flops at home, but no need to dust off the tux or ball gown — this is a relaxed evening among friends and family in the beautiful hills of Julian! 🌿
We'll be fueling the fun with a delicious BBQ spread, drinks, and of course — you can't come to Julian without having the pie! We're treating you to slices from one of our favorite local Julian pie shops because if you haven't had Julian pie yet, your life is about to change. Parking is limited- so those staying in Julian should take the short walk over. Anyone driving in should consider parking on the street. It is a short walk up to the Hotel Lobby where you will find us all!

FAQs
Question
This is an Absolutely Yes Wedding!
Answer
We want our wedding weekend to be fun, relaxing, and joyful for everyone. That means we hope you say “absolutely yes!” If for any reason the weekend isn’t a fit financially, logistically, family commitments or maybe you just don't like fun mountain winery weddings or pie :) ....we completely understand. Our hope is that this weekend feels like a celebration, not an obligation. Thank you for honoring your heart (and ours!) in your decision—we can’t wait to celebrate with everyone who can make it!
Question
When should I RSVP?
Answer
As soon as possible is appreciated so that we can plan for a incredible weekend. No later than January 22nd 2026 please!
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
We love your kiddos- but this is meant to be an adult getaway! Trade the juice boxes for wine! Book the babysitter now and enjoy a couple of days in the mountains! You deserve it!
Question
What is a microdestination wedding?
Answer
For those of us lucky enough to call San Diego home, this “micro destination” wedding is the perfect excuse to slow down and enjoy the parts of our backyard we usually just day-trip to. We chose this beautiful spot because we want it to feel like a mini vacation for everyone — not just a wedding day. We strongly encourage you to make a weekend of it and stay Thursday and Friday night if you can. With hotel check-ins typically in the afternoon and the wedding festivities starting Friday, arriving Thursday makes everything so much more relaxed (and fun). Think of it like this: Maybe the kids come up to explore the area with you on Thursday, and Grandma and Grandpa get quality time with them during the wedding. Or maybe this weekend is strictly adults-only — no bedtime routines, no carpools, just wine and good company. We’d love for everyone, even the locals, to cozy up in Julian and truly enjoy the full weekend experience. Trust us, driving home after a night of celebration isn’t the move. If spending the weekend isn’t in the cards for you, we completely understand and hope to celebrate together another time — absolutely no pressure. But if you can stay, we promise it’ll be worth it.
Question
Will there be a shuttle to and from the venue?
Answer
Yes, if you plan to stay in Julian we will have and encourage the use of the shuttle. The shuttle pick up and drop off will be near Orchard Hill Hotel. It is a short walk to the other hotels in town. Those in Airbnb's will want to park in town near Orchard Hill. Uber and Lyft will NOT be readily accessible. Come to party- but no drinking and driving!
Question
I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?
Answer
Yes- the caterer will be able to accommodate some request made ahead of time. For example they can do a gluten free or dairy free pizza!
