No, St. Catherine's of Alexandria Church is located in Morgan Hill, CA, while Paicines Ranch is situated in Paicines, CA. The drive between the two will take approximately 45-60 minutes. Both locations hold immense significance for Izzy & Iseph. Iseph is a music minister who helps coordinate the music to be played at mass, both for himself and the choirs. On the other hand, Izzy helps conduct the children's choir and is a member of the young adult choir at St. Catherine's. Additionally, both Izzy and Iseph are involved in running a small youth confirmation group. The Reception venue offers a unique and charming atmosphere that we both fell in love with. We can’t wait to share them both with you!
No, please make sure you have your transportation arranged to get from the ceremony to the reception. Uber Reserve is a good option if you do not want to drive.
We're in luck! The average temperature historically ranges from the high 70s to mid-80s, making it perfect weather for both the Ceremony and Reception. However, it can get chilly in the evenings, so it's recommended to bring a light jacket.
We want you to feel comfortable in whatever you choose to wear at our reception location. The venue is beautiful and we were captivated by its rustic elegance and warmth. The barn and dance floor feature hardwood floors that are easy to walk and dance on. However, the area surrounding the venue has small pebbles, so we will provide flip flops for your convenience when walking to and from the bathrooms. We suggest dressing in “Summer Elegance or Summer Chic” style, which means wearing something that you love and is dance-friendly. This way, you will be able to enjoy the event to the fullest.
Yes, there will be a vegetarian option available during the reception. If you have any other significant food allergies, please contact Nichole Prieto at 408-706-8129 and we will work with the vendor.
