Your presence is the greatest gift we could ask for. If you do wish to get us a gift, our Zola registry is linked on this site. Our preferred gift is a contribution to our honeymoon fund. We will have a box for cards at the wedding. Thank you!
The dress code is garden formal. Basically, a formal dress code but with encouragement to wear prints, florals, and colors. Here is a site with some examples: https://greenweddingshoes.com/garden-party-attire-dress-code/
There is free parking at the venue. There will be an open bar, so we encourage Uber or Lyft if you will be drinking.
I would recommend arriving around 4:45pm. You should arrive no later than 5pm so we can start the ceremony on time.
5-5:30 ceremony 5:30-6:30 cocktail hour 6:30-11:00 reception - dinner & dancing 11:00- move the party to a local bar
The wedding ceremony is unplugged - meaning we ask that you keep cameras, phones, etc away. We want you to be present and enjoy the moment with us! Our photographers are amazing and we will share the photos they take.
We will be staying at the Westlake Village Inn, and hosting a welcome dinner there the night before the wedding. This is a 10 minute drive to the wedding venue. There are several other hotels both in Westlake Village and Thousand Oaks, within 10 minutes of both venues. So feel free to stay wherever is convenient for you!
The closest major airport is LAX (1 hr). Burbank airport is closer, and is a smaller airport with less traffic, but will not have as many direct flight options.
We would recommend it. LA and the surrounding areas are more of a driving than walkable destination. It would be convenient to get to the hotel/venue area and give you the opportunity to explore!
