FAQs

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes. The dress code is a bit more formal than a typical beach wedding and for the photos we would love to have everyone wear white, beige, or a combination of the two. Sunglasses and white/beige sun hats are highly recommended because Santa Cruz can be hot in the summer and we will be outside. Layers are also recommended due to the wind of being on the ocean. Note that we will not be on the sand.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Yes. Here are our top six recommendations for hotels: 1. Fairfield Inn & Suites: 2956 Mission St Santa Cruz, CA 95060 2. Mission Inn & Suites: 2250 Mission St Santa Cuz, CA 95060 3. Dream Inn: 175 W Cliff Dr Santa Cruz, CA 95060 4. Beach Street Inn & Suites: 125 Beach St Santa Cruz, CA 95060 5. Best Western: 126 Plymouth St Santa Cruz CA 95060 6. Holiday Inn Express Santa Cruz: 1410 Ocean St Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Note - the hotels are listed by proximity to the wedding location. They are also descending in quality and price. Please try to reserve your rooms as soon as possible because Santa Cruz is a tourist destination so rooms fill up fast and rooms get more expensive the longer you wait. Also, Fairfield Inn & Suites is the hotel closest to our wedding.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Yes. We are registered through Zola. Look at our Registry tab at the top of the screen. We kindly ask that you do not get us any material gifts as we have everything that we need. The registry explains this further.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Yes. This is a kid-friendly ceremony. There is even a small museum inside the location where kids can pet sharks and look at marine life. Update: The shark tank will unfortunately be closed for the event but the touch pool will be open so there are many other sea creatures you can hang out with with the docents' help.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

If your invitation says +1 then please bring a date. If not, please contact the bride or her mom, Kasey.
