Because we will be having guests that are both elderly and young, and for the general safety of everyone, we are requiring our guests be fully vaccinated prior to the wedding. Masks will be required inside. If you feel unwell at all prior to the wedding, please don't hesitate to reach out and let us know. Everyone's health and level of comfort is our main concern.
Our ceremony will be inside St. Gabriel Church, while the reception will be in an outdoor space.
Although we cannot predict the weather this far in advance, September and the beginning of October tend to be San Francisco's warmer months. We recommend checking the weather forecast the week of.
For Dress: Cocktail attire, please! Dresses, suits, dressy jumpsuits, whatever! Just look good and classy, we know you know how to look nice. Keep in mind the reception will be held in an outdoor area with a woodchip floor, and please bring something warm for at night.
The ceremony begins at 4 PM sharp, so please be there by 3:30 PM.
For the ceremony, there is a parking lot located next to St. Gabriel, as well as the surrounding neighborhood street parking. As for the reception, there is no parking lot but plenty of neighborhood street parking. ***PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING (of value or no value) WITHIN VIEW WHILE PARKING YOUR CAR IN SAN FRANCISCO***
After the ceremony, the bridal party will be taking pictures. Guests can head straight to the reception for a cocktail hour, followed by dinner and dancing.
We love your kids, we really do! But as much as we'd love to invite all of our friends' children, we are only able to accommodate the children of the wedding party. We hope that you will understand this decision and that you will still be be able to join us on our special day.
If your invitation says "and Guest," then yes. If not, we would prefer if it were just you.
We will be asking all our guests to turn off their cell phones during the ceremony, and to please keep cell phone use to a minimum at the reception. We will be having a photographer and we all would love to see your faces, not your phones. For privacy concerns, please keep any photos of the kids off social media.
