Question

We're excited to welcome you and your little ones to the Welcome Party! However, we kindly ask for the wedding ceremony and reception to be an adults-only celebration.
Question
Are there Ubers in Palos Verdes?
Answer
Palos Verdes is in the suburbs of Los Angeles - one of the most popular Uber regions in the world. We encourage utilizing ride-share options to and from the weekend events. You should easily be able to call one. Pro tip: You can schedule ahead of time too! Fun fact: Emma and Daniel both benefited from the subsidized launch of Uber pool early in their college careers.
Question
Is there transportation being provided between wedding venues and hotels?
Answer
Wedding ------------- The Wedding Day venues are a 10 minute drive to the hotels. Ubers + parking are ample. The ceremony and reception sites are a 2 minute walk from each other. We recommend parking at the Reception parking lot (the Beach Club) because if you park at the Neighborhood Church you will need to move your car after the ceremony. We will have a one-way shuttle taking people home from the venue on a sign up basis. Please sign up below for shuttle transportation home from the venue. First come, first served for 140 total spots! Shuttles will pick-up at the Reception, Palos Verdes Beach Club at 11pm. The shuttles will make two stops: 1. Informal Afterparty at Hennessey's Tavern in the Riviera Village (nothing is booked at the bar, but they know a group may be coming!) (10 minute drive from venue) 2. Redondo Beach Hotel (15 minute drive from venue) If you are taking the shuttle home from the venue, we recommend you Uber to the venue. If you leave your car overnight, you will likely get a ticket. Ubers are also accessible if you choose not to shuttle! There is plenty of parking at the venue to drive. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Iy73Hn4WF8S-LEOUkiW8qqjSdCiPuBeo7_txT5l3uVM/edit?usp=sharing Welcome Event ------------- The Welcome Event at Emma’s house is a 15 minute drive from the hotels. There is limited street parking in the surrounding area so we recommend carpooling or using a rideshare service. If you do choose to drive, there will be a valet service provided. Feel free to pull up to the house and leave your car with the valet.
Question
Is there parking at the wedding?
Answer
Yes. There is a parking lot at both the church and the reception. We recommend parking at the reception site and walking to the church (2 minute walk), as cars must be moved out of the church lot after the ceremony.
Question
What is the weekend attire?
Answer
Welcome event on Friday: Backyard Cocktail, recommend shoes that are good for grass and outdoors! Ceremony / Reception: Formal Attire: Suits and gowns are welcome, so are tuxes and cocktail dresses! We recommend wearing walking friendly shoes as the reception will have quite a few stairs! Most of the weekend will be outdoors, so please keep that in mind!
Question
Should I bring a jacket?
Answer
Yes, the reception overlooks the ocean and is primarily outdoors, so we recommend bringing a jacket. There will be heaters, beverages, and the dance floor will be on fire.
Question
How many stairs lead down to the Palos Verdes Beach Club?
Answer
Unsure, but the number is quite high! Please keep this in mind. There is a ramp where we can drive guests who need assistance down. This will get most of the stairs out of the way; however, there is one final staircase to get to the pool deck.
Question
What happens after 11pm?
Answer
While there will not be a formal afterparty, for those of you who want to keep the party going, we recommend Hennessey’s Tavern in the Redondo Beach Riviera (1712 S. Catalina Ave Redondo Beach, CA 90277) .
