FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Formal invitations will be sent out closer to the wedding, and they will include the RSVP deadline. The RSVP page on our website will open at that time as well, so no need to RSVP just yet!

Question

Are tiny humans allowed to crash the party?

Answer

No, as much as we love your little ones, this is an adult only event. We hope you will understand our decision to make our wedding child free and take the opportunity to celebrate with us.

Question

Dress like you’re on the best-dressed list.

Answer

The dress code is garden party formal. We will be mainly outside and the weather during May in Benicia is mid-70s to 80s. The style is meant to be elegant without being too formal, perfect for enjoying the beauty of the garden while still looking stylish and put-together. Bright colors, pastels, floral patterns welcome. Dresses of all lengths welcomed. A suit or a tailored blazer paired with dress pants, with a tie or bow tie. Please no jeans! Please no white! Looking for some Garden Party Formal Inspo?

Question

Can I bring someone to ‘knot’ be alone?

Answer

Unless otherwise specified in your invitation, we only have room for those who are addressed on the invitation. We appreciate your understanding!

Question

If I can’t witness the kiss, how do I handle this?

Answer

Your presence will be greatly missed! If you are unable to attend, kindly inform us at your earliest convenience so that we can make the necessary arrangements.

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

No need to check out just yet! We’ve listed nearby hotel options on our Travel page, and Airbnb is also a great choice if you want something cozy. We’ll update when we have further information regarding a room block, so stay tuned.

Question

Is there parking?

Answer

Yes! You won’t be driving in circles, there’s parking available right at the venue.

Question

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Outdoors all the way! Ceremony under the sky, reception in a tent. May in Benicia: mild days, crisp nights, bring a jacket and your best dance moves.

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

During the ceremony, we’re going unplugged, so keep your phones and cameras tucked away. Don’t worry, professional photos will capture every moment! Snap away before and after, and you’ll still get plenty of picture-perfect memories.

Question

What’s on the menu?

Answer

We can’t give away all the tasty secrets, but think buffet-style goodies and an open bar to keep spirits high. Allergies or special diets? Just let us know and we’ve got you covered!
