What will the weather be like?

In October, California experiences brisk mornings and evenings in the 60s, with daytime temperatures typically ranging from the mid-70s to low 80s. We recommend bringing a jacket or shawl for layering, as the wedding will include both indoor and outdoor components. This will ensure you stay comfortable throughout the day.

Our ceremony will be unplugged to ensure an uninterrupted experience for everyone. We’ve hired wonderful photographers to capture these special moments, so we kindly ask that you turn off and put away all phones during the ceremony. There will be plenty of opportunities for photos before and after the ceremony. Additionally, we request that you refrain from posting any photos online until after the couple has shared their own.
