FAQs

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
Question

Do you have a registry?

Answer

Instead of gifts, we'd love you donate to our honeymoon fund at: https://www.zola.com/wedding/elishaandnapoleon/registry

Question

What time does the wedding ceremony begin?

Answer

The ceremony begins at 12pm PST on Sunday, September 15th at 11 Spinnaker Way, Berkley, Ca. Please arrive with extra time to park and get settled. There will be no late seating once the ceremony begins. The reception begins at 1:30pm onboard The Empress Hornblower. Once the boat leaves the dock it will not return to the dock until 5pm. Please be prepared to stay onboard the entire time.

Question

Where should I park?

Answer

Parking is limited. If possible, we encourage you to take Uber/Lyft to 11 Spinnaker Way, Berkeley, CA 94710 for the wedding. If you must drive please copy and paste the link below to see your parking options. https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1uQgpY20NGw4coCDTcm5PBh43dvA-tCQ&usp=sharing

Question

Will there be food?

Answer

We would never... of course there will be food at the wedding! Brunch will be served during the reception on Sunday, as well as a hosted bar. PLEASE EAT BREAKFAST before you arrive so that you're not hangry during the ceremony.

Question

Can I bring a plus one to the wedding?

Answer

No. RSVPs are pre-populated with invited guests. Please do not bring anyone who is not already included in your RSVP. The venue has a strict capacity limit and they will not be allowed on board the reception venue.

Question

Are children allowed?

Answer

No. We love the babies, but the reception venue is tricky and not great for little ones. Please do not bring your kids (or any additional guest) to the ceremony or reception on Sunday without discussing it with Elisha and Napoleon first. You are more than welcome to bring kids to the event on Saturday.

Question

What should I wear to the wedding?

Answer

Black and white is so boring! Think upscale brunch vibes with rich, bright, fun colors. Don't forget a warm layer and walkable shoes so your fit doesn't stop your fun.

Question

Do I really need to wear flats/sneakers?

Answer

Trust us, between the grass, the walk and the boat dancing you'll be happy you did.

Question

How cold is it?

Answer

It's the Bay Area. Dress warm or bring a coat. Even the sunniest summer days can turn into cold nights. Plus, Berkley Marina is one of the best places in the world to fly kites so prepare for strong wind.

Question

Can I smoke?

Answer

There will be no smoking of any kind allowed during the ceremony or reception. If you need to put one in the air you should do so during the walk between the two venues. Also, consider other non-smoke options to lift your mood :)
