FAQs
Question
How does room booking work?
Answer
We have a small number of rooms blocked for our guests at the Lodge at Marconi at a discounted rate. Please use the booking link below. If no rooms are left in our room block, there are plenty of rooms for everyone at the wedding. Make sure you book your room for the weekend before someone not attending the wedding does!

Question
What should I wear?
Answer
The wedding dress code is formal. Gentlemen are encouraged to wear formal suits with dark colors. Women should wear long dresses (feel free to be colorful and flow-y!). Walking to and from the ceremony site on Marconi's nature trails is encouraged, so please choose your footwear accordingly (think flats, cowboy/cowgirl boots, etc). There will be a 14 person van shuttling to/from the ceremony and reception sites for those who desire to walk less or wear heels. The reception will be outdoors in a tented celebration space so please bring very warm(!) layers for when the sun goes down or if the fog rolls in.
Question
Are kids invited?
Answer
Nope! We love your children, but due to our agreement with the venue we do not have enough seats to include children or babies. Thanks for understanding!
Question
What's the closest airport?
Answer
San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is the closest airport to Tomales Bay. It is about a 1.5 hour drive to the venue so we recommend renting a car and enjoying the beautiful drive.
Question
What is the weather like there?
Answer
It will most likely be warm and sunny as is common for September on the coast. But keep in mind the fog could roll in for the mornings or evenings. Bring a warm jacket or very warm shawl to each event just in case!
