Can I Bring a Plus One?

Great question. Bonus point for you! Please make sure to RSVP "yes" or "no" to each component of the event by MARCH 15th. This allows us to give our vendors accurate numbers prior to the wedding.

Question
What is the Dress Code?
Answer
Our venue and wedding colors, much like our home, include many vibrant colors. Guests are encouraged to dress in cocktail attire, reframing from whites/ivory/creams. The ceremony will take place outdoors (weather permitting) and the cocktail hour & reception will take place indoors. NOTE: This venue does not have air conditioning. Even if it is cold outdoors, please consider the temperature and humidity required by the plants of the venue. Some rooms are warmer than others.

Question
Can I Take Photos/Videos During the Ceremony?
Answer
Short answer, no. Long answer, we have hired an amazing photographer named Rocio who will be there to capture all of the moments of the ceremony. We do kindly ask that phones are put away during the ceremony. Following the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos/videos as you wish. We do ask that you reframe from posting photos of the bride & groom before they do.
