FAQs

Question

Wait! I thought this was a Tiki wedding?

Answer

Unfortunately, we fear the wrath of the Tiki gods too much to tempt fate. So, this is a normal wedding. But, festive & floral attire welcome & encouraged.

Question

What safety precautions are you taking tied to Covid-19?

Answer

We love you guys! Because each of you are precious to us, we respectfully require proof of vaccination upon arrival. Depending on the state closer to the time, we may require additional precautions (eg. testing, mask wearing, distancing).

Question

Can I bring my kiddo?

Answer

Of course - kids love museums and weddings! Please just make sure to RSVP for them as well :)

Question

Can I bring my dog?

Answer

Not to the wedding. But, we love dogs. Don’t take this as an insult towards your furry friend; we will hike with them anytime or provide belly rubs on an alternate date.

Question

Do you have a hotel block?

Answer

No. We don’t! We acknowledge that folks have an array of budgets and preferences. We like the Moxy and the Kissel in downtown Oakland and we'll run shuttles from there to the ceremony on Saturday. Otherwise, we recommend staying in Oakland, Emeryville, Berkeley, or Alameda. If you want a gut check on an Airbnb location, send us a text - we’ve lived in Oakland for almost a decade and will be able to easily tell you if the neighborhood meets your specific needs.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Yep! Let us know at christineplusjoey@gmail.com.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

There is very limited street parking at the Berkeley Rose Garden. Oakland Museum has paid onsite parking. We recommend taking one of our shuttles! We will be providing transportation from downtown Oakland to the Rose Garden and from the Rose Garden to the museum. Transportation leaving the museum is on your own - we recommend rideshare or public transit!
