Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

What time should I arrive? Please plan to arrive about 30 minutes before the ceremony to allow time for parking and seating. The ceremony will begin promptly at 3:30 PM. Traffic note: If you are traveling from Orange County or north, please allow extra travel time. Saturday traffic heading south is heavy, and delays through Camp Pendleton are significant. We recommend planning accordingly so you can arrive relaxed and on time.
