9:30 pm - 11:30 pm
Casual Attire: Anything goes, from sundresses and sandals to jeans and tees.
We will be hanging out at the Hilton Hotel bar Friday evening to mingle and say hello to everyone as you arrive! Feel free to come on down and grab a drink, catch up, and socialize.
2:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Semi-Formal: Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses. Comfortable, non stiletto shoes are recommended, as there is a small amount of walking required on uneven natural ground.
Join us at Roaring Camp depot as we take a ride on the world's steepest narrow-gauge railroad! Please arrive at 2:00 pm for our 2:45 departure. The scenic journey will only be outmatched by our destination: a cathedral grove of redwood trees. In a standing ceremony, the couple will be wed surrounded by their friends and family.
4:30 pm - 10:30 pm
Semi-Formal: Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses. You may want to bring a nice jacket or coat, as the reception dinner and cocktail hour will be simi-outdoors and the November night will probably be crisp.
From the ceremony, the train will return to Roaring Camp, where we will host a cocktail hour, dinner, and reception dance in Bret Harte Hall. Dinner will be served from your choice of two different food trucks, and there may be a surprise for dessert!
11:00 am - 3:00 pm
Casual Attire: Anything goes, from sundresses and sandals to jeans and tees. Dress for a cool day at a beachside boardwalk!
The day following the wedding, join us on a celebratory outing to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk! There we can walk the beach, snack on concessions, and ride The Giant Dipper on its 100th year of operation!
