FAQs

Question

What is the dress code for ceremony?

Answer

Our ceremony will take place on the beach, followed by a reception on the deck of one of the historic cottages. Beachy and comfortable is the vibe, and guests are welcome to remove their shoes and enjoy the sand barefoot during the ceremony. We recommend bringing shoes along for the reception, as we’ll be celebrating on the cottage deck afterward. Above all, we want you to feel comfortable and like the best version of yourself. Think elevated coastal celebration with breezy fabrics, late-summer colors, and relaxed elegance. Women are encouraged to wear dresses that feel fun, expressive, and uniquely you. Men may opt for slacks with a button-up, linen suits, or relaxed suiting separates. No tie required. Overall, the vibe is polished yet effortless, more seaside dinner party than luau.

Question

What is the dress code for the welcome party?

Answer

Cocktail attire is perfect for this night!

Question

When should I RSVP?

Answer

As soon as you’re able! Since our venue has a limited capacity and many guests will be traveling, early responses help us tremendously with planning. If you know your plans, we’d be so grateful to hear from you early. We also recommend booking accommodations sooner rather than later!

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

The Laguna Surf Lodge will be Kenzie and Tyler’s home for the weekend, and we would love for it to be yours too! This oceanfront hotel is conveniently located less than 10 minutes from the wedding venue. Because of its intimate boutique size, many of our guests will be staying there, making it a fun and easy place to gather throughout the weekend. Please visit the Travel section of our website for the link to booking in the room block. If you still have questions, shoot us a text. We would be more than happy to help make your travel as smooth as possible!

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Due to the intimate size of our venue, we’re only able to accommodate the guests listed on your invitation. If a plus one has been included for you, it will be reflected on your invitation and RSVP. Thank you so much for understanding as we keep the celebration small and intentional.

Question

Can I bring my children?

Answer

We absolutely adore your little ones, but our wedding weekend will be an adults-only celebration. We hope this gives everyone a chance to relax, enjoy a weekend away, and celebrate with us. Thank you for understanding!

Question

What time should I leave for the ceremony?

Answer

Please plan to arrive at least 45 minutes before the ceremony begins. Our ceremony will take place on the sand at the south end of Crystal Cove State Park, and getting there is part of the adventure! Guests will either take our shuttle from Laguna Surf Lodge to the venue or park their cars at the Los Trancos Parking Lot. From the Los Trancos parking lot, guests will take a designated shuttle down to the beach. The bluffs and tucked away location are what make this place feel so special, but they also mean it takes a little extra time to reach the ceremony site. If you arrive too close to the ceremony start time, there is a chance you may miss the ceremony, and we would hate for that to happen. Build in a little buffer and enjoy the views along the way!

Question

Is there a shuttle to the ceremony?

Answer

Yes! There will be a shuttle picking guests up from Laguna Surf Lodge at 3:15pm and 3:30pm taking guests to Crystal Cove's Los Trancos Parking Lot. From the Los Trancos parking lot, guests will take a designated shuttle down to the beach.

Question

Can I park at Crystal Cove State Park?

Answer

If you plan to drive to the ceremony, please park in the Los Trancos parking lot, located just across from the entrance to Crystal Cove State Park. Regular day-use parking at Crystal Cove State Park is $15 per vehicle. Once at the Los Trancos Parking Lot, guests will await the designated shuttle that will transport them to the sand.
