FAQs

Question

What is the dress code for the wedding?

Answer

Upscale cocktail attire, please! For the ladies, think nice cocktail dresses, feel free to go more formal. For the guys, a nice suit and tie. Although we will have some blankets, definitely bring a warm jacket or shawl as it will get colder at night. It typically cools off much more at the Connell's in the evening than in Sonoma Valley.

Sonoma is beautiful in the fall, hence why we picked this date! However, it will get chilly at night. Usually high of mid-70's and low of mid-50's.
