FAQs

Question

Is there transportation to and from the ceremony and reception?

Answer

Yes. Please see below for the shuttle schedule: For guests taking the shuttle from Sonoma Plaza: 3:30 pm - Bus arrives at the parking lot behind the Presidio of Sonoma for guest loading (335 1st St E, Sonoma, CA 95476) 3:40 pm - Bus departs for Beltane Ranch For guests taking the shuttle from Glen Ellen: 3:40 pm - Bus arrives at the Glen Ellen Inn for guest loading (13670 Arnold Dr, Glen Ellen, CA 95442) 3:50 pm - Bus departs for Beltane Ranch Look for a sign on the shuttle that says Cook/Chance Wedding. Return shuttles will leave Beltane Ranch after the reception ends at 10:00 pm for Glen Ellen and Sonoma Plaza, where the after party will be. Only one of the shuttles will stop by Glen Ellen en route to Sonoma Plaza, so please check with the driver to make sure you are on the right one.

Question

Is there parking at the wedding venue?

Answer

Beltane Ranch has plenty of parking available if you would prefer to drive your own car. You can also leave your car at the venue overnight if needed, but note that rideshares like Ubers and Lyfts may be hard to get over the holiday weekend.

Question

What is the weather like in Sonoma Valley?

Answer

In September, the weather in Sonoma is usually beautiful with an average high in the mid 80s. After the sun goes down the temperature can drop to the 50s, so we recommend bringing a shawl, wrap, or jacket to stay warm.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code is cocktail attire. The cocktail hour and reception will be held on the grassy lawn at Beltane Ranch so we recommend block heels or wedges over stilettos.

Question

What are the COVID guidelines for the wedding?

Answer

While our ceremony and reception will take place outdoors, we respectfully request that you only attend our wedding if you are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or have tested negative within 72 hours. Please plan accordingly.

Question

I have a food allergy—can I make a special request?

Answer

Yes, please let us know when you RSVP if you have a food allergy or dietary restriction so we can relay this information to our caterer.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we love your kids, our wedding is going to be an adults-only event with the exception of immediate family.
