FAQs

Question

Where is the ceremony and reception?

Answer

The ceremony will take place at the Mission Santa Clara. The reception will follow at The Ranch at Silver Creek, located about a 20-minute drive from the ceremony.

Question

Where should I park once I arrive at the Santa Clara University campus?

Answer

When you arrive at the main campus entrance, please note that vehicles are not permitted on the promenade leading to the Mission Church. After passing the guard’s kiosk, you can turn left to enter the main parking garage. From there, it’s about a 5-minute walk to the church. For added convenience, shuttle service will be available starting at 2:15 PM to bring guests to the church.

Question

Are the ceremony and reception indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Both the ceremony and reception will be held indoors. Cocktail hour will be a mix of indoor and outdoor space, so feel free to step outside and enjoy the views. We recommend bringing a light layer in case it cools down in the evening.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

The attire will be formal for both the wedding and the reception. For ladies, think cocktail or long dresses. For gentlemen, we recommend a suit and tie (or tuxedo!). Overall, think elegant, timeless, and celebratory. We can’t wait to see everyone looking amazing!

Question

Will transportation be provided?

Answer

Transportation will not be provided. We recommend using Uber or Lyft, or driving if you prefer. Please plan accordingly when traveling between the ceremony and reception venues.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?
