FAQs

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Doors open at 5:00pm, so please arrive at that time or later — early arrivals will not be permitted entry until then. The ceremony will begin promptly at 5:30pm.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

We suggest black tie optional attire for the evening. It will be summer in LA, but the ceremony and reception will be held indoors with air conditioning. The cocktail hour will be a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces, with grass underfoot, so we recommend choosing footwear accordingly.

Question

Are children invited?

Answer

If your children are listed on your invitation or RSVP, we would be delighted to have them join us. Due to limited space, we’re only able to include children from the families of the bride and groom.

Question

How should I get there?

Answer

There will be a dedicated parking lot for all guests. For those planning to drink, we encourage using ride-sharing services.

Question

Wait...Isn't the Ebell a theater?

Answer

Yes, The Wilshire Ebell is a theater that some of you may be familiar with, but for our wedding, we’ll be using the beautiful clubhouse next door. Founded in 1894, the Ebell is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering women and enriching the Los Angeles community through engagement in the arts, culture, education, and service.

Question

Did you reserve a hotel block?

Answer

Since many of our guests are local or at least familiar with the LA area, we’ve chosen not to reserve a hotel room block. However, there are plenty of excellent hotel options near the Ebell and throughout the surrounding area. Please refer to the 'Travel' tab for a few recommendations.
