FAQs

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes, the attire is "Formal." Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and long cocktail dresses.

Question

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The wedding ceremony and cocktail hour will take place outdoors, while the reception will occur indoors. Guests will walk to the garden on paved pathways, but may need to step on grass briefly to take their seats for the ceremony.

Question

What time should I be there?

Answer

We ask guests to arrive at 4:00pm to ensure you are seated before the ceremony begins at 4:30pm. If you are running late, unfortunately you will be held back until the ceremony ends. Thank you for understanding.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony and reception?

Answer

Yes, there is a free parking lot available to guests until 10pm and additional street parking nearby. Note that no parking is permitted at the Diablo Hills Golf Course’s Greenery Restaurant across the street.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Due to our desire to keep the guest list to those closest to us, we ask that you reach out to us personally if you would like to bring an additional guest not explicitly named in the invitation.

Question

Can I bring my children?

Answer

Yes, children are welcome. We're excited to celebrate with the whole family! We ask that parents make sure to keep them from walking in planted areas, or climbing rocks, trees, statues, or any water structures. There will plenty of outdoor space to stretch little legs, and we can't wait to see them cutting up on the dance floor, but ask that they stay off of it during the special dances.

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

We will be having an "unplugged" ceremony. Our wedding photographer will capture the ceremony so we ask that no photos or videos are taken until cocktail hour.

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Yes! There will be an open bar for guests to enjoy throughout cocktail hour and the reception. Keep in mind we have waited a long time for this day, so please party accordingly.

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by August 15, 2025. If we do not receive your RSVP by then, you will be marked as "not attending". While we apologize for the inconvenience, we must provide an accurate guest count to our vendors in a timely manner. We hope you understand.
