Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Creative Black Tie Invited! Think formal wear with a fashionable creative flair.  Tuxedos and ballgowns welcomed but not required. Make it fun: Old Hollywood, hats, sparkles, sequins, bold colors and patterns are all welcome.

Question

How should I get there

Answer

We highly recommend uber, lyft, waymo or a taxi if you're coming from a SF location. Parking in Nob Hill can be difficult - there are many lots but most are very expensive. Please see FAQ: Parking for parking lot information.

Question

I am flying into SFO - should I rent a car?

Answer

No, not while you're staying in SF. Hotel parking lots charge anywhere from $50-$90/night. If you plan on taking a trip to a location like Wine Country, Yosemite, Santa Cruz Mountains etc., we would recommend renting a car only for that portion of your stay. You can get a Waymo/Uber/Lyft for $45-65 from SFO into the City, or a taxi from $50-$70. Once you're in SF, walking, public transportation, Waymo, Uber, and Lyft are the best ways to get around the City.

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

There are dozens of hotels in the area! The wedding reception will be at the Fairmont Hotel and our post wedding brunch will be at the Mark Hopkins - these are right across the street from each other and only one block from Grace Cathedral (our wedding ceremony location). Other very close by luxury options include the newly remodeled Huntington Hotel which is right across the street from Grace and one block to the reception location and the Ritz Carlton which is 3.5 blocks from the reception location and 4.5 blocks to Grace (but all uphill). For those of you who are Bonvoy, Hyatt or Hilton loyal members there are many options under each brand within a 10-15 minute ride away. For a more budget friendly option there is a Holiday Inn on Van Ness Street only a 13 minute walk away from Grace. Here's a Google Maps shortcut: https://maps.app.goo.gl/8jpbELirZd72nj1B9

Question

Are Children Invited?

Answer

We love children but have decided to make the Reception an adults-only event, in part because we want you to have a fun night out! Children over 10 years of age, of immediate family and the bridal party, will be invited only to the Wedding Ceremony, Second Line and Cocktail Hour the day of the wedding and the brunch the day after the wedding, not the Reception.

Question

Photos?

Answer

As much as we LOVE Photos we have decided to make our wedding ceremony a no-photo zone because we want you to be present. Feel free to take photos of the wedding processional before and after the ceremony and of all other festivities over the weekend. Ways to share photos will be available in the wedding program!
