Parking is available at the bottom gate of the property. Valet shuttles will transport guests up the one-mile private hill to the ceremony and reception area. Clear signage will be posted, and staff will be available to guide you. Please plan to arrive anywhere from 2:30pm-3:00 to allow time for the shuttle. Important: Cell service is limited after turning onto New Almaden Road. We recommend downloading maps or directions in advance in case you lose signal.
Both the ceremony and reception will be held at the Macchiarella Estate, beginning with a welcoming pre-ceremony gathering for guests arriving between 2:30–3:00 PM, as we wait for everyone to be shuttled up to the estate. Enjoy light refreshments and a relaxed atmosphere before the celebration formally begins. The ceremony will start promptly at 3:30 PM. We kindly request that guests be seated by 3:25 PM. Out of respect for the flow of the ceremony, guests not seated 5 minutes prior will not be admitted into the ceremony area once the processional begins.
Please RSVP by August 20 using either the RSVP tab on our website or the mailed enclosed RSVP card—whichever is most convenient for you. If you have any questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to Gabby or Michelle Macchiarella.
To preserve the sacred intimacy of our ceremony, we kindly request a phone free experience. Please refrain from photography or device use, allowing our professional photographer to capture the moment’s grace.
We envision timeless elegance. Ladies are kindly requested to wear floor length gowns in soft hues or delicate florals, and gentlemen to wear tuxedos or dark colored suits. We’d love for you to dress to the nines!
To maintain the delicate elegance of our day, we request an adults-only celebration (guests 18+), unless stated otherwise on your invitation.
Your presence is our greatest gift. For those wishing to contribute, our William Sonoma and Pottery Barn registries can be found under the “Registry” tab.
