FAQs
Question
WHAT DO I WEAR?
Answer
DRESS CODE: formal attire so choose your best dresses/suits. Dress to impress as if at a red carpet event. Please wear a suit or a dress. We ask that our guests don't wear jeans. No sage green or emerald/dark green & white please & thank you. If you're attending the ceremony, it will take place outdoors on grass so keep that in mind if you choose to wear stilettos. Lastly bring some comfy shoes to change into so that you can dance the night away.
Question
RSVP
Answer
Please make sure to RSVP at your earliest convenience before August 28th. Because it is going to be a small and intimate celebration, we ask that you let us know if you will be attending or if you cannot make it. This way we know how many friends y familia to expect at our wedding.
Question
WHAT IF I DON'T RSVP BY THE DEADLINE?
Answer
If we do not receive an RSVP from you by August 28th, you will be marked as "not attending". The reason for this being that we must provide accurate guest counts to all of our vendors within a timely manner. We hope you understand and we will miss you celebrating with us!
Question
CAN I BRING A GUEST?
Answer
If your guest's name is listed on your invite when you RSVP, then yes! Otherwise, due to limited space, we would love to keep the wedding as an intimate event with close friends & family who are listed on the guest list when you RSVP.
Question
CAN I BRING MY CHILDREN?
Answer
Unless your children are listed on your invite when you RSVP to the event, this is an ADULT ONLY event.
Question
WHERE DO I PARK?
Answer
CEREMONY & COCKTAIL HOUR - You'll have to drive through the entrance and down Via San Clemente to arrive to a parking lot. The parking lot is next to a park with a tall monument (look up the Armenian Genocide Martyrs Monument), where the wedding ceremony will take place. RECEPTION & AFTER PARTY - The reception will be held in a private backyard so parking will be available anywhere you can find it in the residential area. There is usually parking on that street but if you don't find any, you can look around the block or you might also have to look around the park at the end of the street. BE SURE TO READ THE SIGNS, as you might not be able to park in certain areas there.
Question
CAN I TAKE PHOTOS DURING THE CEREMONY?
Answer
We are having an "unplugged" ceremony. This means we are asking that all phones be put away and turned off or put on silent during the ceremony. There will be a professional to capture some of the most important moments of our lives and we'd hate to have a well-intentioned person's phone blocking that moment for our photographer to capture. After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos as you want! There will be a sign at the reception that will direct you to share with us any photos you take throughout the day. We will be sharing moments of the ceremony when we get them!
Question
WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE?
Answer
We ask that you arrive to the ceremony at 1:30pm to ensure that you are able to sit where you wish. There will be some down time between cocktail hour and the reception, you can use this time to grab a light bite to eat and/or drinks. I have left some suggestions here on our website's "Things to Do" page. Try to get to the reception before 6pm to find your seat and settle in before dinner. Dinner will not be served after 8pm.
Question
WHAT IF I'M RUNNING LATE?
Answer
CEREMONY - Because our ceremony will be outdoors, we ask that if you arrive late to our wedding, you please join us quietly as to not disturb a very special moment in our lives. Make sure to turn off/silence your phone as well to not interrupt the ceremony. RECEPTION - You can join the party at any time between 5-11pm. Be aware that dinner will only be served from 6-8pm. At 8, the caterers will leave and there will possibly be no left over food. We will have snacks and sweets as well.
Question
WILL THERE BE AN OPEN BAR?
Answer
Yes! The drinks are on us y la resaca is on you. We have waited a long time for this day so party accordingly!
