You can arrive as early as 30 minutes before the Ceremony start time. There Ceremony start time is at 5:00 pm. We HIGHLY recommend you arrive early to allow time to find the venue.
Our amazing venue has a Valet service! Tips are appreciated.
The attire is Semi-Formal: Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and long cocktail dresses. You do not have to wear a specific color, but spring colors/florals would match best! You are welcome to bring sandals or sneakers to change in to for when we hit the dance floor!
While we adore children, we've opted for an adults-only affair to allow everyone to relax and enjoy the celebration. We hope you understand our decision and can arrange childcare for the evening. If you have any concerns or special circumstances, please don't hesitate to contact us directly to discuss further.
Last year it was pretty warm and sunny. However, we are close to Newport Beach, so it can get a little chilly or overcast. We recommended bringing a shawl or coat, but note we will be inside for the reception!
No. The reception will be a few steps through large french doors leading inside!
You can sit anywhere! Just be mindful of the seats reserved in the front for immeadiate family or the wedding party.
6:30-7:00 pm. There will be appetizers being passed around during Cocktail hour at 5:30 pm!
Please let us know when you RSVP!
Duh! A full open bar - let's celebrate!
Yes, but please me mindful of the other guests and just have your phone silenced! However, we do ask that everyone be "unplugged" during the Brides Entrance and our Vows.
