Question
Where do we park?
Answer
There is parking at the picnic area, but we expect this to fill up. Additional parking can be found at the "King Canyon Parking Lot", which you can get to from the Juan Santa Cruz picnic area by making a left. The King Canyon Trailhead Parking lot will be the next right, past the Sonoran Desert Museum. The road is not setup for pedestrians, so there will be a shuttle driver to get you back to the picnic area from the overflow parking. Shutter drive is TBD.

Question
What should I wear?
Answer
We truly want everyone to feel their best self in what they wear! If you're interested in colors, the wedding colors are purple (lavender in hue, but any shade therein), turquoise/aqua, white, and gold. That said, any and all colors are welcome :) Some considerations to keep in mind, it will be over 80 degrees at the beginning of the event and it could cool to below 70 degrees before we wrap up (we'll all know for sure closer to this event). For this reason we recommend layers for anyone who gets chily at those temps. We will have fans and water to help with the heat earlier on. Our venue is literally out in the dessert (dirt, dust, and rocks) so please choose footwear accordingly.
Question
Where should I stay?
Answer
Neither of us have ever stayed in a hotel in Tucson, so based on recommendations from others there is a short list below, increasing in price. If none of these work for you we offer these guidelines for your search: avoid staying right off of I-10 (not the safest), stay West of Country Club and South of River (to keep drive times form getting too long). If this doesn't answer a question, concern, or need you have please reach out to us; we want you to enjoy your time in Tucson. Doubletree Downtown Arizona Inn JW Marriott Starr Pass

What do you mean by "chaos" on the home page?

We don't have anything untoward planned. We are simply recognizing that all weddings are chaotic and we aren't interested in trying to make everything perfect. We are here to celebrate our love with the people we love; that's what matters.
