5:30 pm - 8:00 pm
For those of you traveling in through SFO on Friday, or anyone who happens to be in the city that day, feel free to swing by Emily's childhood home in San Francisco! Yes, this home was completely designed by KMA (Kerman Morris Architects) 🥰. This is an optional event, but our doors will be open between 5:30 and 8pm. We will have plenty of food and drinks--appetizers, snacks, and some dinner options as well! Come hungry and eat a casual dinner with us, stop by for apps before your dinner res, or make a pit stop on the way to your hotel, etc. Emily and Karl LOVE the city of San Francisco, and hope this will give some of you the impetus to come down to SF, spend a little time with the happy couple, and also explore the city that day or evening on your own! Parking on our street might be limited, but likely will have spaces. You might need to park a block or two away. Worst case scenario, you can park in the Kezar parking lot or the UCSF garage nearby!
8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Cocktail Attire
We're gathering at The Swiss Hotel in Sonoma Square (the adorable downtown of Sonoma) from 8-10pm for drinks and light snacks the evening before the wedding! If you're around, we'd love to see you! Drop in and stop by for as little or as long as you want :)
5:30 pm - 11:00 pm
Cocktail Attire
It's the big day! Thank you for coming out to Northern California for us. We are so excited to celebrate with you!! We will have a bus staged and ready to leave Embassy Suites in San Rafael at 4:30 PM and will take guests back to Embassy after the wedding. Both the ceremony and the reception will be held at Cornerstone Gardens in Sonoma. A note on attire: Yes, we say cocktail attire but really we just want you to wear whatever makes you feel beautiful! Think California springtime garden wedding. Maybe re-think stilettos, because the ceremony will be in grass :) AFTER THE WEDDING: If you want to keep the party going, the bar at Embassy Suites will be open and ready to serve our people until 1am, and our shuttles can drop you off there! If you are not staying at that hotel, you can still come for a drink and then get an Uber from there to the Best Western or your Airbnb, etc!
10:30 am - 12:00 pm
We will meet the next morning for coffee and pastries from Basque Boulangerie Café in Sonoma Square, before folks head off to the airport/ on to their next adventure. Very casual, and don't feel pressured to come if this doesn't make sense for your schedule! We will set up a table and some picnic blankets in the grass. :)
