FAQs
Question
What's the dress code?
Answer
Black Tie. This means tuxedos (with black bow ties) for the men and floor-length gowns for the ladies. Think of it as an excuse to dress your absolute best! We can't wait to see you all looking incredible! As always, don't wear white ;)
Question
Can I bring my children?
Answer
While we absolutely adore your little ones, we are keeping the guest list to age 13 and older to allow for our guests to relax and fully enjoy the evening. We hope this gives parents of younger children the perfect excuse for a well-deserved date night. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
Question
Can I bring a guest?
Answer
We are only able to accomodate those guests formally listed on your invitation. If you received a plus-one, it will be noted on your invitation and RSVP. Thank you for understanding as we keep our celebration intimate.
Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
Please plan to arrive at the designated parking lot 30-45 mins before the ceremony begins. Summer traffic in Laguna Beach can be significant, and we want everyone settled and seated before we say "I do." Please plan accordingly. The ceremony will begin PROMPTLY at 4pm!
Question
How does parking and transportation work?
Answer
All guests will park (or be dropped off) at the designated parking lot. From there, shuttles will transport guests to and from the venue throughout the evening starting at 3:15pm. Please note: ALL GUESTS MUST TAKE THE SHUTTLE -- there will be no direct parking or drop-off at the house. We promise it will be seamless and worth the ride up the hill!
Question
Can I use Uber or Lyft?
Answer
Yes, we encourage you to do so! If you plan to enjoy the open bar and after party, please arrange a safe ride home! HOWEVER, rideshares will not be permitted to pick up or drop off at the venue itself. All rides must arrive at and depart from the designated parking lot, where shuttles will be running. Shuttles will transport guests to the after party directly from the venue!
Question
Are we allowed to take photos during the ceremony?
Answer
We kindly ask that you keep phones tucked away and turned off during the ceremony so our professional photographer can capture the moment. Once cocktail hour begins, feel free to snap away!
Question
For the Ladies!
Answer
The reception will take place on the lawn. We suggest wearing heels with a thicker base to avoid sinking into the grass and messing up your nice stilettos! Both the ceremony and reception will be outside. This far out, we don't have an idea regarding weather forecast; however, it's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses and a jacket. If you care about not matching the bridesmaids, don't wear lemon/pale yellow ;)
