FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by 8/1/2026

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Kids are welcome! However, please make sure you're keeping an eye on them. Our ceremony is in a wilderness area in the high desert. Wild creatures can be found there! Similarly, our reception is at a brewery. Please ensure your children are behaving and know that this is an adult space.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

If you're given a plus one, you are welcome to bring a date. However, we have capacity limitations for the ceremony and reception. We ask that you reach out if we've overlooked an important person in your life.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

We recommend semi-formal or dressy casual. Wear what makes you feel great! But avoid jeans and t-shirts. When choosing shoes, keep in mind that the festivities are outside. Also, the temperature drops in the evenings; please remember layers.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

There is parking for both. The ceremony will require some shuttling back and forth between the ceremony (Elena Gallegos: Double Shelter) and the cocktail hour (Elena Gallegos: Kiwanis). There is much more parking for the latter! We ask that if you need to park close to the ceremony (e.g., mobility issues) to reach out. There should be sufficient parking at Ex Novo. Half the brewery will remain open to the public and we will need to share parking space with others.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Yes! Please let us know so we can do our best to accommodate your needs.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive no later than 1:45 PM to ensure ample time for parking. We recommend arriving by 1:30 to be safe. Additionally, seating may be limited.

Question

Are dogs welcome?

Answer

Yes, if they're well behaved!
