Welcome Event
6:00 pm - 10:00 pm
721 Nevada St, Redlands, CA 92373
We can’t wait to celebrate with you, so why wait until the wedding? Join us the night before at Escape Craft Brewery (Nevada Street) for a laid-back night of good beer, great company, and delicious food trucks! This is the perfect chance to hang out—especially for our out-of-town guests—before the big day. Drinks and food will be available for purchase, so come thirsty and hungry! We’d love to see you there! 🍻✨

Day-After Party
11:00 am - 1:00 pm
1050 North Archibald Avenue, Ontario, CA 91764
The celebration doesn’t have to end after the wedding! Join us the day after for a casual get-together. Depending on how we’re feeling, we’ll either be at Topgolf—a favorite date night spot from when we first started dating—or just kicking back with a relaxed pool party. Either way, expect something low-key and fun. Bring your chill vibes (and maybe a swimsuit, just in case)! We’ll share final details as we get closer to the big day—stay tuned!
Travel
Hotel
Best Western Plus Heritage Inn Ontario Rancho Cucamonga
Best Western Plus Heritage Inn Ontario Rancho Cucamonga is less than 5 miles from our wedding venue, making it a super convenient option for out-of-town guests. While the hotel doesn’t offer room blocks, they do have a special wedding rate of $139 per night, which includes free breakfast from 6-9AM. To get the discounted rate, just call the hotel directly and mention that you are staying for a wedding, they will honor the $139 "wedding rate." No need to even mention our name.
Hotel
Hampton Inn & Suites Ontario Rancho Cucamonga
Another great option nearby, the Hampton Inn & Suites also includes free breakfast. We didn’t reserve a room block here, but it's a solid choice—especially if you're a Hampton member, as you may get better rates or perks. Prices may be slightly higher than the first hotel.
Flight
Ontario International Airport (ONT)
The closest airport to our wedding is Ontario International Airport (ONT) — it's the most convenient option and just a short drive away from the venue. If you're looking at other flight options, here are a few other major airports in Southern California: John Wayne Airport (SNA) Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) All of these are a bit farther out, but could work depending on your travel plans or flight availability.

FAQs
Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
Our celebration begins at 6:00 PM, and we kindly ask guests to arrive between 5:00-5:30 PM. This will give you plenty of time to find parking, get settled, and be ready for the ceremony, which will begin PROMPTLY at 6:00 PM

Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
We'd love for our guests to dress in cocktail or garden party attire—think light, airy, and elegant. Since our celebration is outdoors on grass, we recommend wearing comfortable shoes (heels may be tricky!). Most importantly, we want you to feel great and enjoy the day with us! Also, there will be a pool, so if you'd like to keep the party going with a dip, feel free to bring a bathing suit!
