Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Cocktail attire. The ceremony will be on grass, so plan your shoes accordingly. Spring nights in Paso Robles can get cold and bringing an extra layer for warmth in the evening can't hurt.

What time should I arrive?

The ceremony starts at 4:30, so ideally everyone would be seated before then. Please see the Schedule tab of this website for more detailed information about the day's events.

Question

Where do I park?

Parking is available at the wedding venue. All you need to do is drive up to the gate for event parking where you will be directed to the designated parking areas...and to be sure you make it back to your room safely at the end of the night!

Question

Can I customize my meal?

Sort of! Don't like horseradish sauce on your steak? Ask to exclude it. Don't want rice pilaf with your chicken? Ask to exclude it. Exclusions are easier, but unfortunately substitutions cannot be fulfilled in most cases.
