Of course! But we also understand if you prefer to get a break and keep them at home.
If your Paperless Post Save the Date invitation included any guest(s), then yes. If not, we prefer that it was just you.
Please RSVP via your Paperless Post Save the Date invitation by Sunday, February 20, 2022.
We are requesting all guests to be vaccinated and boosted (if possible) before attending our wedding. In addition, all guests should obtain a negative COVID rapid test or PCR test 1-2 days before attending the wedding. In order to take more COVID precautions, we're keeping the guest list on the smaller side, and all of our wedding events will be in outdoor settings.
The average temperature of Santa Monica Beach in March is around 66F-70F. It very rarely rains, though we have a backup plan if it does!
Cocktail attire - if you're coming to the ceremony, it's on the sand so bring your beachy shoes and sun protection!
We are honored by our guests' presence at our wedding and are not requesting any gifts. However, if you're itching to give us a gift, please contribute to our honeymoon fund under "Registry" on this website - we hope to safely travel somewhere fabulous in 2022!
We recommend the 90-minute free parking at the Santa Monica Beach Parking Lot if you're driving in (this is also the easiest way to walk to the ceremony site on the beach). We will email everyone specific instructions for how to access the ceremony site if you're walking from the big Santa Monica Pier Arch on Colorado and Ocean Avenues.
Please meet at the North Entrance of the Santa Monica Pier at 11:30 a.m. We will walk toward the water and start the ceremony around 11:35 a.m.
Please take out your wands and blow bubbles when Judy & Haro kiss at the end of the ceremony!
Unfortunately, we're not able to find a van that transports guests from the beach to Nueva. Luckily, there are lots of Lyfts and Ubers available by the Pier. If you parked your car at the beach, you can also drive about 25 minutes south to Nueva, which has valet parking ($12). There may also be some street parking available nearby.
We have reserved an outdoor patio space with umbrellas at each table. Please visit the restaurant's website for photos and more information: https://nuevavenice.com/
Please let the staff at Nueva know about any food allergies.
