Answer

Of course we can’t say exactly what the weather will be like, but it will hopefully be around 65-75 degrees with a bit of a breeze. We will be on the coast line for the ceremony at sunset, so it may get chillier toward the end of the ceremony.

Question

The ceremony will be at Sunset Cliffs, here in San Diego, CA. There is a guest limit of 50 people, so the remaining guests are welcome to head to the reception location to view the live stream.

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Kids are welcome, but we do ask that if your child starts crying or misbehaving during the ceremony or reception, you move them away from the area until they’ve calmed down, as this could cause extra stress and is disruptive to speeches and vows.
