5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Suits (tie optional) and cocktail dresses are encouraged. The Conservatory is temperature controlled and can be a bit humid.
Venue logistics: This venue does not allow food or beverages, but water bottles will be available. Getting there: The streets closest to the Conservatory do not allow cars. We recommend taking a ride share, though parking nearby is also possible. For ride shares, please select the drop-off location at 50 Bowling Green Drive (a nearby tennis court); it is about a 5-minute walk to the Conservatory. For those driving, we recommend The Music Concourse parking garage (55 Hagiwara Tea Garden Dr, next to Cal Academy of Arts and Sciences; $6.25/hour, closes at 7pm), which is about a 15 minute walk from the Conservatory. Street parking may also be available on Fulton Street.
6:30 pm - 10:00 pm
The Vault Garden is an outdoor space with heat lamps. We recommend you bring layers. Please follow the signs for the Vault Garden, not the Vault Steakhouse.
Transportation: We will have a shuttle available to transport you from the Conservatory to the dinner reception. If you plan to drive, there is a secure parking garage under the restaurant for $5/total (after validation). Menu and dietary restrictions: there will be a sit-down dinner portion where you can make your selection onsite. The venue can accommodate any allergies and/or dietary restrictions; just let us know and let the wait staff know at the beginning of the dinner. There will be an open bar with fun cocktails (no cash or tip required)!
