COVID info/ FAQs

Having a wedding during a pandemic is not ideal- but we know our party will still be a blast if everyone is on the same page! Since we have immediate family members in attendance who are immunocompromised, we must take as many precautions as we can for everyone's safety. We ask that if you are not feeling well, even if it's just a cold or a sore throat that you STAY HOME. We will feel your love from afar! Below are a few clarifications regarding the day.
Question

I've been vaccinated against Covid-19....am I all set to attend this celebration?

Answer

YES! You are welcome to attend- no mask or rapid test required. We do ask that if you are feeling unwell at all, that you please celebrate from home.

Question

I'm unvaccinated...do I need to take a covid test?

Answer

If you are unvaccinated, we ask that you please administer a rapid covid test within 48 hours of the wedding day and send your negative results to Josh via text or email at (831) 747-0331 or jalta001@gmail.com (a photo is just fine!). If you are unable to test yourself before the wedding, please text or email Josh as soon as possible to secure a rapid Covid test provided by us and arrive by 3:00 pm (30 minutes early) to take the self-administered test outside of our venue on July 3rd. If you test positive or are unable to share a negative result prior to the wedding day, you will not be allowed to attend this event, to respect the health and safety of all in attendance. Unvaccinated children are exempt from pre-wedding covid testing as long as they are feeling well enough to attend. :)

Question

Will masks be required?

Answer

As of today, masks are NOT required at our wedding, however you are more than welcome to wear one if it suits your comfort level.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Only children of the wedding party & close family are welcome to attend and have been invited. Children in attendance are exempt from rapid covid testing, etc.. as long as they are feeling well. Our venue has asked us to keep the number of children within a limit and to express how important it is that children are under careful supervision within this historic home-- to protect the fragile antiques and art on site. There are 2 high chairs available and a kid's meal option of macaroni and cheese. We do encourage full participation and giggles on the dance floor!

Question

Does the venue have air conditioning?

Answer

YES! There is an option to socialize outside during cocktails and dancing for some fresh air as well.

Question

What is the attire?

Answer

Semi-formal. Feel free to get fancy with a long dress or tux in this historic home or wear cocktail/ dress attire and a suit (coat optional!)
