FAQs

We will add more information here as we get closer to the wedding. Stay tuned!
Question

Where will the wedding be? What kind of venue is Home?

Answer

Home is a restaurant inside a converted house in downtown Soquel, just outside of Santa Cruz. Both the ceremony and reception will take place outdoors in their beautiful garden.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony starts promptly at 3:30. We recommend you arrive between 3:00 and 3:15 to ensure you don't miss a thing.

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by June 20th. If we do not hear from you by that date, we will not be able to reserve a space for you at the ceremony and reception.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

While we would love to be able to extend an invitation to more guests, we have reserved a space for just the people you see in the RSVP portal on the wedding website. Our venue has a strict capacity limit, so we cannot accommodate additional guests.

Question

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

Answer

Absolutely! Please note any food allergies or intolerances in your RSVP.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Cocktail attire would be greatly appreciated. Cocktail dresses, jackets with slacks, and dressy jumpsuits are all great options. This is a garden party, so feel free to wear bright colors or prints! Please avoid wearing jeans or other casual clothes.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

The average high temperature in Santa Cruz is around 75F in August. It can get chilly at night, so you may want to bring a jacket for the evening. Foggy days do happen in the summer, so it may be colder than expected.

Question

What is the parking situation?

Answer

Parking is available in the church parking lot across the street from HOME. There is also street parking near the restaurant.

Question

Is there anything not allowed at the wedding?

Answer

The venue does not allow hard liquor anywhere on the premises, so please do not bring any. There will be beer, wine, and non-alcoholic options at the bar. The venue also does not allow open flames or smoking.
