We kindly ask our guests to dress in formal attire for our wedding celebration. For gentlemen, we recommend suits or dress pants with a button-down shirt and tie. For ladies, we recommend floor-length, midi, or cocktail dresses, dressy jumpsuits, or elegant separates. Please refrain from wearing jeans, T-shirts, athletic wear, flip-flops, or other casual attire. Our ceremony and reception will take place outdoors, and guests will be walking on both gravel and grass. We encourage you to choose footwear that is comfortable and suitable for these surfaces.
Our wedding will be held at a private residence. When you enter the venue address into your GPS, it will bring you directly to the property. You will see a long driveway leading up to the house—please do not drive up the driveway, even though the gate will be open. A parking attendant and shuttle service will be available at the entrance to assist guests. If you don’t see the attendant when you arrive, they’re likely helping other guests and will return shortly. Street parking is available throughout the neighborhood. If you’re comfortable walking, you’re welcome to park on the street and walk up the driveway through the open gate to the venue. Parking closest to the venue is limited, so guests arriving later in the day may need to park farther away. If you’d prefer not to walk, simply pull up to the entrance and wait for the parking attendant. They can direct you to an available parking spot and shuttle you back to the venue. Thank you for your patience and cooperation—we appreciate your help in keeping traffic flowing smoothly for everyone!
Your invitation lists a start time of 3:00 PM. We recommend arriving 20–30 minutes early to allow plenty of time for parking, making your way to the venue, and finding your seat. Because parking is limited and may require a short walk or shuttle ride, arriving a little early will help ensure a smooth and stress-free start to the celebration. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
Unfortunately, due to venue capacity, we are unable to accommodate additional guests beyond those listed on the invitation. If you have been given a plus one, it will be indicated on your invitation and will appear as an option when you RSVP. If you do not see that option, we are only able to accommodate the guest(s) named on the invitation. We truly appreciate your understanding as we’ve had to make many difficult decisions while creating our guest list, and we can’t wait to celebrate with those who are able to join us!
To help us accommodate our venue capacity, we are only able to invite the children specifically listed on the invitation. If your child(ren) are invited, their name(s) will appear on your invitation and will be included as an option when you RSVP. If they are not listed, we kindly ask that you make arrangements for them to enjoy the day elsewhere. We truly appreciate your understanding.
Yes! We’ll be providing a hosted bar with a selection of beer, wine, and spirits for our guests to enjoy throughout the evening. While your drinks are on us, we kindly encourage you to bring cash if you’d like to tip our wonderful bartenders for their excellent service. Please celebrate responsibly, and if you plan on drinking, we encourage you to arrange a safe ride home.
We’re serving a delicious taco bar featuring a variety of tacos, along with quesadillas, rice, beans, and all the tasty accompaniments. Be sure to save room for dessert! We’ll also have a dessert table filled with a variety of sweet treats for everyone to enjoy.

Some nearby options include: * Best Western Posada Royale Hotel & Suites * Courtyard by Marriott Ventura Simi Valley * Holiday Inn Express Simi Valley by IHG * Grand Vista Hotel If you’re planning to enjoy the open bar, we encourage you to book a nearby hotel or arrange for a designated driver or rideshare so everyone can celebrate safely.
Yes! Both our ceremony and reception will take place outdoors. While October days are typically warm, the evening may cool down after sunset. We recommend bringing a light jacket, sweater, or wrap to stay comfortable as the celebration continues into the evening.
Absolutely! We love the idea of seeing our wedding day through your eyes, and we encourage you to take photos and share them with us. We do ask that you be mindful of our professional photographers, especially during the ceremony and other special moments. Please avoid stepping into the aisle or holding your phone up in a way that could block their view or appear in their photos. After the ceremony, feel free to snap away—we can’t wait to see all the memories you capture!
If you happen to arrive after the ceremony has begun, we kindly ask that you do not walk up to the ceremony on your own. Our parking attendant will typically greet you at the entrance and let you know the best time to make your way to the venue. If the attendant is temporarily away assisting other guests, please wait at the entrance until someone is available to guide you. This helps us avoid interruptions during the ceremony and allows our photographers and videographers to capture those special moments without distraction. Thank you for your understanding!
While it’s not required, we do recommend bringing a little bit of cash if you’re able. Our bartenders will gladly accept cash tips if you’d like to thank them for their service, and we’ll also be celebrating with a traditional money dance during the reception for anyone who would like to participate. Of course, your presence is the greatest gift, and there is absolutely no expectation to participate. We simply wanted to give everyone a heads-up so you can come prepared if you choose.
