We are having our wedding at home which is located in The First Neighborhood of Westlake Village, CA. While there will be street parking throughout the neighborhood for guests, we recommend that locals take Uber or Lyft so you can enjoy a worry free evening of dancing and toasting with us under the stars!
Please RSVP by or before April 1st, 2019 via email at jpetchenick@gmail.com or here on the RSVP tab of this website.
You betcha! We're figuring (based on last year) that it will be in the upper 70's-80's. Be sure to dress in comfortable material that breathes but bring light layers for after sunset. Around 5:00 it should start to cool off. Bring your sunblock, and remember to hydrate during the day! Plan to escape to the beaches-they're about 15 degrees cooler!
Westlake Village is only 20 minutes (16 miles) east of beautiful and iconic Malibu. You can find a ton of gorgeous stretches of beach there and south towards Santa Monica and beyond. You can drive further up the coast on the 101 (scenic coastal drive) to Santa Barbara. Spend some time down town (State Street-lots of restaurants and spots to visit). Santa Barbara also has many beaches to visit: http://www.10best.com/destinations/california/santa-barbara/attractions/beaches/
Please arrive by 4:00-4:30 to allow time to park, enjoy a cocktail and find a spot to hear us exchange our wedding vows. We will be starting the ceremony at 5:00 PM.
Cocktail attire in breathable fabrics would be best with light layers for after sunset. Ladies, most of the grounds of our backyard is grass & pebble, so stilettos could be a bit of a tripping hazard! Flats, wedges or block heels are recommended. We will have an outdoor dance floor so prepare yourself to let loose and enjoy a celebration under the stars! We recommend dresses, bowties for men, suspenders and hats if that's your thing!
Sure! Please share them with us on social media at #happilyeverpetchenick so they can be easily found. We do have a professional photographer taking photos for us, so kindly give him his space to do his thing :)
Yes, we do have one called our 'Honey Fund' here on Zola!
Oh yeah! Get ready to dance your tush off. An awesome DJ will be spinning tunes for us!
