Dress Code: Festive Cocktail!
We’re asking guests to dress in festive cocktail attire—polished and stylish, with room to express your personality. Think bold colors, dramatic accessories, cultural style, and fashion that makes you feel your best. Somewhere between cocktail and semi-formal, but with flair. Feel free to bring a little drama!

Opening in 1969, OMCA highlights California's, and specifically Oakland's many unique facets. Science, art, history; there's a little bit of something for everybody here.
Located in Jack London Square, the saloon has been open since 1884. A history that is so interesting that I'm not even going to try to write it out myself. Just read this: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/heinolds-first-and-last-chance-saloon
Pick up a book! Head over to Marcus Books, the oldest bookstore that specializers in Black literature, history and culture in the United States. Some big names have patronized this bookstore including but not limited to: Maya Angelou, Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X, Oprah, and much more. Shop Local :)
Probably. Ceremony will be outside, so it may be a little chilly and a little misty, so bring something warm. The remainder of the wedding will take place inside.
Think cocktail attire, but much louder and much more exciting. Bright colors, big hats, glitter, fun accessories, cool ties, snazzy shoes. Don't think, "Is this too much for a wedding?" Stop right there! That does not exist here. Be classy, but be fashionable and have fun with your clothes. You can certainly try to outdress the bride. If you aren't sure, just ask. Need inspiration?

Yes! However, parking is limited, so please consider carpooling.
