Question
Will there be parking available at the venue?
Answer
The Martin Johnson House is located in a private, remote location on the University of California San Diego campus with limited parking. Therefore, we prefer guests do not park at the venue. However, if you are in need of a parking space, we have reserved a small handful of parking spaces for our guests. Please share your request with our wedding coordinator, Alana Godoy, as soon as possible. Alana Godoy - Wedding Coordinator | 858.264.7619 | info@godoyevents.com
Question
Will you be providing transportation?
Answer
We will not be providing any transportation to the venue for our guests. We ask that all guests pre-arrange their own transportation. We recommend using rideshare services such as Lyft or Uber or a taxi service. We also recommend you rideshare with others in your party. Tip - If you are using rideshare services such as Lyft or Uber, we recommend pre-scheduling your pick-up.
Question
Will the events be indoors or outdoors? What's the weather like?
Answer
Our events are outdoors, soaking up the San Diego sun at the Martin Johnson House with ocean views that'll take your breath away. In August, San Diego experiences warm and sunny weather. Daytime temperatures typically range from the mid-60s to mid-70s°F (18-24°C), with occasional warmer days reaching the 80s°F (around 27-32°C). Evenings are generally mild, providing a pleasant backdrop for outdoor events. Guests can anticipate enjoying the beautiful coastal climate, but it's always a good idea to bring a light layer, just in case. It's the perfect setting for making memories, enjoying the ocean breeze, and having a downright good time. It will likely be warm especially during the ceremony, so make to bring sunglasses and/or a hat, sunscreen, and drink plenty of water prior and during the event.
Question
Where can I share photos with you?
Answer
All guests will be given access to our private, digital shared photo album called, GUESTPIX. Guests will simply scan provided QR codes at the wedding and drop their photos and videos into this shared album. We would very much appreciate you sharing all the memories captured on this special day! If you were not able to access our album at the wedding, no worries!

Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
Yes, there will be an open bar. Please plan to bring cash to tip the bartender.
Question
How do I get to the venue?
Answer
If you type in "The Martin Johnson House" within your Google or Apple Maps cell phone app, this should successfully route you to the venue.
Question
How will you communicate any updated information and/or changes before the wedding?
Answer
Check back here on our wedding site for updates. If there are any major changes happening, we will reach out via call or text.
Question
Is the wedding venue ADA compliant?
Answer
The Martin Johnson House is built to be fairly accomodating to guests with disabilities. Rideshares should drop guests off directly in front of the venue, meaning they will not need to walk any far distances. The ceremony will take place on a lawn which is located on flat ground with two cement sidewalks bordering the lawn area. Dinner and dancing will occur on two large decks directly in front of the lawn area. There are a few steps leading up to and connecting these decks, but we believe there is also a built-in ramp guests can access instead of the steps. If you have any concerns or requests about accomodations, please feel free to reach out to our coordinator, Alana Godoy, or Gelsey or Fernando.
Question
Is smoking allowed at the venue?
Answer
Due to the fact that the venue is located on a University controlled property, smoking is prohibited.
Question
Do you have a hotel room block?
Answer
We will not be providing a room block, but we do have a few hotel recommendations on our Travel page.
Question
Will there be an after party?
Answer
Yes! Once the wedding concludes at 10:00 pm, we have arranged for a party bus to shuttle the wedding party around San Diego from 10:00-11:00 pm. The party bus will then drop off the wedding party at the After Party location which will be held at 619 Spirits in North Park, San Diego from 11:00-1:30 am. If you want to continue the celebration, please feel free to join us at our after party location via the address below: 619 Spirits | 3015 Lincoln Ave, San Diego, CA 92104
