FAQs

The Wedding Website of Sara McGrath and Max Jaffe
Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Due to the space limitations of our venue, we unfortunately have to limit child guests to family members only. We apologize to those who aren't included—we love you guys and your kids. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us.

Question

What should I wear? Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code for our wedding is semi-formal cocktail attire. Think cocktail dresses; a suit and tie. Note: while our reception will be indoors in the banquet room of Nick's Seafood Restaurant at Rockaway Beach, our ceremony will taking place across the street on the beach itself. For this portion of the day, we recommend bringing a change of flat-soled shoes, sandals, or going barefoot to avoid sinking into the sand.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

Daily high temperatures in Pacifica for August are around 66°F, rarely falling below 61°F or exceeding 73°F. Daily low temperatures are around 55°F, rarely falling below 51°F or exceeding 58°F. Our ceremony will be held outside on the beach, so you might want to bring a layer. And don't forget SPF!

Question

Where are the ceremony and the reception taking place?

Answer

The ceremony will be held on the south side of Rockaway Beach. The reception will be just across the street, at Nick's Seafood Restaurant.

Question

What happens after the ceremony?

Answer

After the ceremony, the wedding party will be taking pictures nearby for around an hour. Guests can head straight to Nick's Restaurant across the street, where we will be serving finger foods and beverages during a cocktail hour.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Unfortunately, we have a strict guest list to stay on budget, so our celebration is RSVP only. We'll only be able to accommodate those listed on your wedding invitation.

Question

Where do you recommend I stay?

Answer

We have reserved 20 rooms at the Sea Breeze Motel, right next to Nick's. If you haven't already expressed interest in booking one of these rooms, please get in touch with Max or Sara. If these rooms get filled up quickly (and we do expect them to), other options are: ❤︎ Inn at Rockaway ❤︎ ❤︎ Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites ❤︎ ❤︎ Pacifica Beach Hotel ❤︎ ❤︎ Pacifica Lighthouse Hotel ❤︎

Question

When is the RSVP deadline?

Answer

Thank you in advance for sending your RSVP before May 1. You can RSVP right here on our wedding website.

Question

Will transportation be provided?

Answer

For those staying at the Sea Breeze Motel, everything is in walking distance. We recommend ride shares and carpooling for those staying in the area but not in walking distance.

Question

Where are you registered?

Answer

While gifts are not expected, we have set up a fund for those who wish to contribute to our future life (and honeymoon!) together. You can find this on our website under "registry" ☺︎
