Q&A

Here are some common questions and answers to help you best prepare for our wedding!
Question

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The wedding ceremony and reception will be outdoors, right near the beach, at the same venue. We highly encourage everyone to bring a jacket, as it can get windy and chilly on the coast as the night goes on.

Question

When time should I arrive to the ceremony?

Answer

We will begin the ceremony promptly at 4:30pm Please arrive 30 minutes prior to the ceremony. Refreshments will be provided.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We ask that our guests dress in semi-formal attire. This is typically a more relaxed look compared to formal or black-tie attire. For women, a nicer dress at any length or a jumpsuit is perfect. For men, a suit is recommended, although not required. We do ask that our guests avoid casual wear such as jeans and hats.

Question

Is parking available at the venue?

Answer

We highly recommend using a rideshare app or carpooling. There is metered parking available in the front lot for $1.50 per hour (cash/card in parking lot to the North or coin only spots to the South) with limited pay stations in the area. There is also free parking available within walking distance in the nearby residential areas on Calle Las Bolas, Calle Sacramento, and Avenida Hacienda and allows for overnight unmetered parking.

Question

Are you reserving blocks for hotels?

Answer

No, we are not reserving any blocks at hotels and recommend you look at the TRAVEL page on our website for recommended hotels. We recommend booking early as spring is a popular time in Southern California.

Question

What Airport Do you recommend if flying?

Answer

John Wayne Airport (25 miles from San Clemente) Long Beach Airport (46 miles from San Clemente) Los Angeles Airport (65 miles from San Clemente)

Question

What type of food will be served at the wedding?

Answer

Are Children Welcome?

Answer

Although we love all little ones, we unfortunately can only accommodate the children of our immediate families. Thank you for understanding.
