FAQs

Question

Can we bring our kids?

Answer

We kindly ask that parents do their best to arrange childcare for the weekend. For family members who are unable to do so, we will offer a Kid Zone on site on the day of the wedding. Children under the age of 12 will be dropped off there for the duration of the event, and we will have experienced nannies available throughout the day. If this applies to you and you plan to bring your children, please reach out to us in advance. We completely understand that breastfeeding children need to remain with their mothers during the event. Please note that childcare will not be provided for the welcome party. Family members may bring children if they are unable to arrange weekend childcare, but there is a pool on the property that is accessible from the event space. Parents will be responsible for closely supervising their children at all times.

Question

How do I RSVP?

Answer

To RSVP please type your full name into the text box on the RSVP page of this website. If you do not see your family grouped together try typing in each name separately. If you received an invite in the mail but can not find your name please contact us.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

If your name is listed on the envelope, you are invited to attend. We have included plus ones for guests in long term relationships. We hope you understand that we are unable to extend a plus one to all guests.

Question

When is the RSVP deadline?

Answer

Question

Is there a registry?

Answer

We’ve created an online registry, which you can find in the registry tab on our website.

That said, your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Question

What will the weather be like this time of year in Ukiah?

Answer

April in Ukiah typically has highs in the mid-70s and lows in the 50s. Since the wedding is entirely outdoors, we recommend checking the forecast as the date approaches and planning accordingly. We will provide heaters for cooler evening temperatures. In the event of rain, a tent will be set up for the reception and umbrellas will be available for the ceremony.

Question

What should I wear? Is there a dress code? What shoes should I wear?

Answer

For the welcome party, attire will be smart casual. Examples include sundresses with sweaters, jeans with a blouse, khakis with polos, or jeans with a button down. For the wedding, please dress in formal attire. Elegant mid calf to ankle length dresses, suits, or dress slacks with a blazer are perfect. Colors and florals are encouraged. For women, we recommend block heels, wedges, or dressy flats for stability on gravel and grass. For men, please wear dress shoes.

Question

Where should guests park? Is parking free?

Answer

There will be parking available at the venue, as well as overflow parking at the college behind the venue, which is a short walk from the event. We recommend giving yourself extra time to find parking and encourage guests staying at the hotels to carpool when possible to help limit the number of cars and make parking easier for everyone.

During the ceremony, guests are welcome to choose their seats, with the exception of the first rows, which are reserved for immediate family. At the reception, seating will be assigned to help everyone find their spot comfortably.
