FAQs

Question

How and when do i rsvp?

Answer

The RSVP page on this website is now open, but please keep an eye out in your (physical, real) mailbox for an official invite in mid to late January!

Question

If i rsvp to an event, do i have to attend?

Answer

That depends on the event! Please only RSVP 'Yes' for our rehearsal dinner (if applicable) or ceremony and reception if you are going to attend. An RSVP 'Yes' for other events including sunset, welcome hang, after party, and send-off brunch is more so we are able to get a general head count! If you're feeling the jet lag or just aren't up to joining, no worries – we'll catch you at the real deal.

Question

Is there a recommended hotel or hotel discount?

Answer

Yes! We have a discounted rate at the beautiful Hotel Solea in Carlsbad near the venue (formerly Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa). Both traditional king and double king rooms are available. We recommend booking a room ASAP as our wedding is during a holiday weekend. Please see the travel tab for more information.

Question

How do i get to the wedding venue?

Answer

If you are staying at or near Hotel Solea, there will be a shuttle between Hotel Solea and the Old Rancho that will make two trips to the venue prior to the ceremony, and two trips back towards the end of the night, with stops at the after party. As the wedding approaches, more details including trip times and shuttle size will be available on the 'Travel' page of this website. If you are driving, the Old Rancho Wedding Estate is accessible by car with on-site parking available. Please consider carpooling or taking an Uber/Lyft if you plan on partaking in the open bar (safety first)!

Question

Are kids allowed?

Answer

We love your little ones, but are kindly requesting your kiddos stay at home unless we have discussed otherwise with you directly.

Question

Do you have a registry?

Answer

Please know that your presence on our special day is the greatest present of all! If you are still looking to celebrate with a wedding gift, there is a registry tab on this website with some ideas.

Question

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Both the ceremony and reception will be outdoors. If the weather forecast looks like it's going to be on the chilly side, there will be heat lamps.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

The weather can vary in southern California at this time, but will likely be between 60-75˚F during the day. It can cool down at night so bring a layer or two just in case!

Question

Answer

There will be a place to indicate any dietary restrictions when you RSVP so we can make sure you have something scrummy (Keara-slang for delicious) to eat!
