FAQs

The Wedding Website of Judy Lao and Stephen Lou
Question

Why is there a separate event in July?

Answer

Judy's family is HUGE and the vineyard is not large enough for them. Her parents would also like a cultural celebration and so, we are throwing two events 🫠 In July, we’ll be hosting a private, traditional Chinese tea ceremony for family followed by a large Chinese banquet to celebrate with extended family and friends. Our wedding, the main event, will actually be in September and will be a more intimate celebration done our way.

Question

Why is the Welcome Event on Thursday?

Answer

We chose to host the Welcome Event on Thursday so we could spend more time with all of you in a relaxed, unhurried setting. It also leaves Friday open to explore the area, connect with friends and family, or simply enjoy the weekend at your own pace. We know many of you are traveling to celebrate with us, and we wanted the weekend to feel enjoyable rather than rushed. Join us for as much or as little of the weekend as you'd like. We'll be happy to see you no matter what.

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

We recommend staying in Solvang as it is walkable, offers more food options, and more things to do. We also recommend staying in Buellton for a more budget-friendly stay. Visit our Travel page for more details and recommendations!

Question

Are kids allowed?

Answer

While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only celebration.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Due to limited capacity, we’re only able to accommodate those listed on your invitation. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Is there parking for the wedding?

Answer

Due to limited space, we will be transporting guests to the venue via shuttles. Pick-up and drop-off locations will be in Buellton and/or Solvang. We are still finalizing the details. Stay tuned for details regarding Welcome Event transportation.

Question

Do you have a wedding registry?

Answer

We do not. We’re fortunate to already have what we need, and what means the most to us is getting to celebrate and spend quality time with the people we love. Your presence is truly the greatest gift!

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

We're personally offended by this question.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

You can expect an average high between 75°F - 78°F and average low of 56°F.

Question

Is Littlefoot coming?

Answer

Unfortunately, Littlefoot will be sitting this one out. He’s a bit too anxious (and very attached to us), and we wouldn’t want him stressed or mistaken for a snack by a hawk or coyote when unsupervised.
