FAQs

Question

When should I arrive?

Answer

We're planning on having pre-ceremony drinks and light appetizers on the upper deck and side yard starting about 4:30pm, the ceremony will begin in the lower yard around 5pm-ish.

Question

What is the parking situation?

Answer

There is plenty of on-street parking available on Ridgecrest Rd (our street), and Blue Ridge rd., about 50 yards up the street past our house.

Question

It's an outdoor ceremony and reception. What will the weather be like?

Answer

Most likely it will be clear skies and warm temperatures. We're up on a ridge, so the late afternoon sun can get quite toasty warm. Once the sun disappears over the ridge of Mt. Tam, temperatures will drop quickly. You might consider bringing a sweater/jacket or shawl to wear if the temps drop a lot!

Question

Answer

No! Please, no gifts. Your presence is everything we could hope for! :-)
