FAQs

Question

What is the COVID Testing/Quarantine Protocol?

Answer

We are asking all of our guests to quarantine (whether or not they are vaccinated) at least 5 days in the state of California (please note this is pending CA state laws adjusting as they currently require a 10 day quarantine for out of state travelers). If there is an extreme circumstance that won’t make this possible, please reach out to us immediately. All guests also must receive a negative viral COVID test within 3 days of the wedding (rapid tests will not be accepted).

Question

Do I have to wear a mask?

Answer

We are requiring mask use for guests when they are not eating or drinking so please bring your own mask. All of our on-site wedding vendors will be wearing masks as well.

Question

Do I have to practice social distancing?

Answer

Yes. Please stay at least six feet away from guests who do not live in your household. We will be spacing out ceremony seating and reception tables at least six feet apart and requiring guests to sit with their household/pod only.

Question

Will there be temperature checks?

Answer

If you feel sick or are experiencing any symptoms such as fever, cough, or loss of smell and taste on the day of the wedding, please stay home. We will be taking everyone’s temperature as they enter the venue, and anyone with a temperature of 100.4 degrees or higher will unfortunately be denied entry.

Question

Is the wedding entirely outdoors?

Answer

Our wedding ceremony will take place outdoors, the cocktail hour will take place outdoors, and the reception will take place outdoors.

Question

RIGHT NOW. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! But seriously, we have to plan for COVID protocol so please RSVP by April 16, 2021.

Question

Is there a block of rooms set aside or where can we stay?

Answer

For all of your traveling needs, whether it be airfare or hotel, please contact Sara Goldberg at sara.goldberg@protravelinc.com.

Question

What does semiformal mean?

Answer

You don't need to break out your tux and ballgown, but definitely don't show up in your short shorts and crop top. Think cocktail attire or business professional (but for summer...in a vineyard).

Question

What is the closest airport to the venue?

Answer

The closest airport is San Diego International Airport.

Question

Should I rent a car?

Answer

That is completely up to you! There will not be a wedding shuttle, however Temecula has a ton of Uber and Lyft options. If you plan on spending more than the day in the area, we do recommend renting a car to travel around Southern California.

Question

Where are you registered?

Answer

We are registered at Bed Bath & Beyond, Amazon, and Zola. HOWEVER, we are really trying to save up for a honeymoon and new apartment so we would really appreciate the help!!

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

If your invitation does not say plus one, then no.

Question

The other person/people on my invite can not come. Can I bring someone else instead?

Answer

No, the reason we invited that person/people is because we are close with them and want them to be a part of our day. There are no replacements. You don't need a buddy we promise. :)

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

AT LEAST 30 minutes before the ceremony begins. Please remember you will be in Southern California and all that traffic we complain about is real.

Question

Will parking be available?

Answer

Yes! We have a private parking lot available for the entire event.

Question

Is the reception in the same location?

Answer

Yes. Galia can't drive.

Question

Where should we sit during the ceremony?

Answer

We do not believe in sitting on the bride's side or the groom's side of the aisle. Sit wherever you want! (Except the reserved seats...don't be that guy.)

Question

Will there be vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free food options?

Answer

Yes! We want to make sure everyone's allergies and dietary restrictions are met so please mark that in your RSVP.

Question

Can I take pictures and/or post photos of your wedding on social media?

Answer

Yes please do during the reception! However, we don't want a bunch of cell phones stuck out in the air during the ceremony. We also ask that you tag us in any photos so that we can save them.

Question

What time is the reception scheduled to end?

Answer

The reception is scheduled to end at 10pm.

Question

What will be your new last name?

Answer

The ones we were given.

Question

Will either of you be converting?

Answer

No, we like ourselves and each other just the way we are.

Question

Can we smush cake in the bride, groom, bridal party, family, or anyone's face?

Answer

ABSOLUTELY NOT! We can not stress this enough!! Galia has a deep rooted fear of cake and pies in faces and she will have a panic attack.
