Question

Will there be a shuttle to and from the hotel?

Answer

Rehearsal Dinner- Please see invitation for shuttle information. From the Portola hotel it is a 13 minute walk or 4 minute car ride if you wish to transport yourself. Welcome Event- This event will be at the Portola Hotel in the Club Room and Peter B's Terrace. Wedding Day- Guests must be shuttled out to the ceremony site. Shuttles will depart from the hotel at 1:30pm. Return shuttle times: 8pm, 8:30pm, 9pm, 9:30pm, 11pm Once inside the gate, the road is windy for about 20 minutes. You may want to take a non-drowsy motion sickness medication if you are prone to getting car sick. We will have bags on board. They are smaller, 27 person shuttles. Sunday Brunch- This event will be at the Portola Hotel in the Club Room.

Question

COVID Tests

Answer

If you are experiencing flu-like symptoms, we kindly insist that you stay home and take care of yourself. Gayle Riley has a limited amount of rapid COVID tests should any be needed.

Question

Unplugged Ceremony

Answer

We want you to experience our wedding for yourself and not behind the view screen of a cell phone. Please feel free to take personal photos during the cocktail hour and reception, but please let our photographers catch the special moments like our ceremony and first dances. We promise to share photos as soon as we get them.

Question

Will the events be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Rehearsal Dinner- Inside. Friday Welcome Event- Indoors, with the option to go out on the patio with heaters for lawn games. Wedding- The ceremony and cocktail hour will be outside so you may want to bring a coat. The reception is inside. The weather is looking to be overcast in the mid-60s. Sunday Brunch- Indoors.

Question

Vaccination Required

Answer

The Santa Lucia Preserve is requiring proof of vaccination for all guests, members and staff starting on November 1st. Please submit a photo of your vaccination card to RileyFarrWedding@gmail.com ALL guests must bring a mask with them. Shuttles are required to get to and from our ceremony and reception venue, and guests must wear masks while in transit. We will have masks on the shuttles for your convenience.

Question

What type of shoes should I wear?

Answer

The ceremony, cocktail hour will take place on grass, so unfortunately we recommend avoiding those gorgeous stilettos you've been waiting for an occasion to wear.

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

While we love all of the children in our lives, we have decided to keep our wedding and reception an adults-only event. We hope this advanced notice means you are still able to celebrate with us, and will enjoy having the weekend off!
