Question
What time is the ceremony? What time is the reception?
Answer
The Ceremony will begin at 5:00pm PST. We ask that guests arrive early so they can find parking and their seats before 5:00pm. There will be a cocktail hour held for our guests after the ceremony (roughly 5:30pm - 6:30pm) and the Reception will begin at 6:30pm PST
Question
What is the dress code? What should I wear?
Answer
The dress code for our wedding is California casual. Wear something you’re comfortable in—button-up shirts, long flowy dresses, or whatever brings you joy. Since our ceremony will take place outside by the beach, we recommend bringing a jacket in case of cooler weather. We are always looking for an excuse to dress up, this is the perfect occasion.
Question
What weather should I expect?
Answer
Of course, we can’t guarantee anything, but we get plenty of sunshine in California. Keep an eye on the weather here (https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/La+Jolla+CA+92037:4:US) in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and have your sunscreen ready. While we are not expecting it in April, clouds and even rain are a possibility so please plan accordingly.
Question
Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?
Answer
The Ceremony will be held at The Wedding Bowl which is an outdoor site located on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The Reception will be an indoor setting held at The Cuvier Club.
Question
What should I expect after the ceremony?
Answer
After the ceremony, the immediate family of the couple will be taking pictures on the beach for around an hour. Guests can walk over to the reception hall (about 3 minutes away) where snacks and drinks will be flowing. Dinner will be served around 6:30pm, with dancing to follow.
Question
Will transportation be provided? Is there easy parking at the venue(s)?
Answer
We are not providing any formal transportation for the events, but our ceremony and reception are taking place in the space area. There is ample parking for those who feel comfortable driving (there is a parking structure across the street from the reception hall for a small charge in addition to free parking on the street), and Lyft is a great option for those who don’t. Please stay safe and default to a ride service or carpooling if you plan to drink.

Question
When is the RSVP deadline?
Answer
Please get us your RSVP by March 5th, so we have time to coordinate with venue to provide enough food/alcohol for our guests.
Question
Can I bring my partner or kids? Will there be a babysitter?
Answer
Since we have huge extended families, we are at capacity with our venue which means we are sadly unable to accommodate additional guests. We will only be able to accommodate those listed on your invitation. If you have any questions, please reach out and we hope you understand. There will not be a babysitter provided so please plan accordingly.
Question
I can’t attend the wedding in person. Will there be a virtual wedding celebration?

Question
I have dietary restrictions, what’s the best way to communicate that with you?
Answer
Our menu selection should accommodate most dietary restrictions but we definitely want to make sure you enjoy your time and meal on our wedding day, please let us know when you RSVP (https://www.zola.com/wedding/danielleandpatrickapril10/rsvp) about your dietary needs.
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
Yes, there will be an open bar. We ask that if you will be partaking in the open bar, that you plan accordingly and use ride services or carpool with other guests. We want all our guests to have fun while staying safe.
Question
Are you registered? Where should we ship your gift?
Answer
In lieu of traditional gifts, we are registered on Honeyfund.com (link), a honeymoon fund website where guests can contribute to different aspects of the honeymoon. Since we have lived together and have everything we need, we wanted to be able to enjoy some nice relaxation time together after the Wedding. If you'd rather provide us with a different gift (cash, check, traditional gift) please feel free to do so. The greatest gift you can provide us is you presence at our celebration.
