Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please submit your RSVP by May 1, 2026.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

This will be a romantic and elegant evening, and we kindly request formal attire. Think suits and ties, floor length gowns, or formal cocktail dresses. Our venue contains a mix of indoor and outdoor surfaces, including grass, paved walkways, and gravel driveways. We recommend comfortable footwear, such as block heels or flats. We will provide a limited supply of heel protectors for those plan to wear stilettos.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:30 PM, so we kindly ask that you arrive no later than 4:00 PM to ensure everyone is seated and ready before we begin. Due to local sound ordinance laws, the party will have to end by 10 PM. Any late arrivals will be held at the gate until after the ceremony concludes and cocktail hour begins.

Question

Will there be parking?

Answer

Yes, complimentary valet parking will be available at the venue. Guests are also welcome to use Uber, Lyft, or other rideshare services if preferred.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Our wedding is an adult-only event with the exception of select young ones. If your children are not listed on your invitation, please make prior arrangements and come enjoy a date night with us!

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

As much as we’d love to welcome everyone, this is an invite-only celebration as we’re keeping our wedding intimate with our closest family and friends.

Question

Can I take photos during your wedding?

Answer

This will be an unplugged ceremony, so we kindly ask that all phones and cameras be put away during that time. We want everyone to be fully present and share the moment with us. Don’t worry—we’ll have a professional photographer and videographer capturing it all! Once the ceremony ends, feel free to take as many photos and videos as you’d like—from cocktail hour to the last song. We’d love to see the night through your eyes! We’ll provide a QR code so you can easily upload and share any photos or videos with us after the celebration.

Question

Where should we stay?

Answer

For those traveling from out of town, we recommend staying in San Juan Capistrano, Laguna Niguel, Dana Point, or San Clemente. You'll find a variety of hotels, Airbnbs, and VRBOs in the area. Be sure to visit our "Travel/Stay" page for a few nearby hotel recommendations.
