Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Danielle Nicholson and Vance Garayt
We’re thrilled that so many of our guests are traveling from afar to celebrate with us! If you can carve out a little extra time, we’d love to share some of the best Southern California has to offer. Danielle’s personal favorite? The incredible variety you can experience in just one day—snow-capped mountains, vast deserts, and some of the most breathtaking beaches in the world! Start your day with a visit to Lake Arrowhead or Big Bear, then explore the stunning Joshua Tree National Park, and finish with the sun and surf at Laguna Beach. It’s a true Southern California adventure you won’t want to miss!
