FAQs

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

The dress code is formal/cocktail. Wear whatever formal/cocktail attire you feel best in, but be prepared for some wind. Guests will not need to be on the sand unless they feel so moved. Cocktail hour will be held on the lawn, so female guests, beware of sinking in your stilettos, and consider wedge or block heels instead.

Question

Are the ceremony and reception at the same location?

Answer

Yes! Both will be held at the Historic Cottage. We'll start the ceremony on the back patio, move to the front lawn for cocktail hour, and then head back to the patio for the reception.

Question

Do Holly & Kyle have a preference for gifts?

Answer

We've got the pots, the pans, and the pillows! To save you the gift-wrapping and us the shelf space, we've set up a Honeyfund. Help us swap "stuff" for "stories" as we kick off our marriage with an unforgettable adventure.

Question

Where do we park?

Answer

Parking closest to the Historic Cottage is at the San Clemente State Beach Parking lot. When you get to the gate, let the attendant know that you are here for the Ludwick-Hastings wedding, and they will let you in for free. There are 50 spots reserved; if these spaces get filled, guests will be directed to overflow parking.
