Question

San Francisco (SFO) or Santa Rosa (STS)

Depends of traffic, but about 90 minutes. We suggest not traveling in and around the Bay from 2-7pm, it gets really bad.

Whole Foods and Safeway in Petaluma. Dillon Beach also has a cute market for quick easy grabs open 8am-7pm.

Question

What is the attire for the wedding?

Answer

Formal attire only please. This isn’t ‘black tie’ so no tuxedo needed, but suits are. Think country chic, fancy ranch estate vibes. If your natural aesthetic is cowboy/girl attire, we highly welcome fancy western wear too. Women can wear heels, the grounds are landscaped and the barn is ready for dancing. It is fall, so plan accordingly with an evening layer.

Question

Is everyone invited to the Welcome Party on Tuesday, October 4th?

Answer

Hell Yes!! Everyone come!

Question

Are kids welcome to the wedding?

Answer

Yes kids are welcome to the wedding. We love kids. It would be ideal for parents to line up arrangements for kids to get back to the airbnbs or lodging at some point after dinner, so parents can party on :) Nannys or sitters are encouraged.

Question

Whats the weather like?

Answer

September and October are the hidden gem weather months in the Bay area. From coastal Sonoma to Big Sur, called 'Indian Summer'. It is the best weather of the whole year, that is why we are getting married right in the middle of it! Sunny, no fog, and gorgeous sunsets. You will definitely want a layer in the evenings. The barn at the wedding will be plenty warm from all the love and dancing, and there will be heaters on the deck.

Question

Could there potentially be smoke per recent California fire activity?

Answer

Nature is nature, and we can't control it. That is why we are getting hitched where we are, on and near the coast. This was highly considered in our decision making process. In years past, when Sonoma had some pretty bad fires, it was totally clear in both Dillon Beach and Tomales. We asked many locals and did our research. If you live in California and it happens to be smokey in your town during our wedding, ever the more reason to come party and breath fresh air.

Question

Where do I go to eat a ton of oysters?

Answer

Practically anywhere, seriously. If you are cruising around and adventuring though, Bodega Bay Oyster Company is in Valley Ford. Just north of Tomales (not in Bodega Bay). Its a cute little spot with outdoor picnic seating and you order at the counter. You can get many types of oysters and a few other seafood option bites, as well as beer/wine. Really nice and casual to roll up with no plans or reservations needed.

Question
