FAQs
Question
What should I wear? Is there a dress code?
Answer
The official dress code is semi-formal/cocktail attire or as we millennials remember it as “dress to impress.” Sneakers are highly encouraged as the bride/groom/entourage will be rocking kicks and there will be plenty opportunities to dance/walk/galavant around the venue. The venue has a “tropical vibe” if you want to theme your outfits accordingly.
Question
What is the Parking Situation?
Answer
We recommend Ubering, carpooling, or ridesharing to the event. There will be valet provided-cash tip encouraged
Question
Do I need to preference my food choice?
Answer
No. There will be options for all dietary needs.

Question

Question
What time should I/we arrive?
Answer
Due to the nature of the unpredictable Los Angeles traffic, the fact that more than half of you are Filipino, and that you will be required to Valet your car upon arrival, we HIGHLY ENCOURAGE guests to leave early, get there early, and plan accordingly. We only have the venue for a certain amount of time and will be proceeding with all aspects of the day ON-TIME. For my Filipino-time family members, please use “airport rules” when planning your arrival time-meaning, please arrive 4 hours ahead of the festivities. You know who you are. The ceremony starts at 5PM, so you should start to seat yourselves for the ceremony by at 4:30PM
