FAQs
Question
What time should we arrive at the wedding venue?
Answer
The wedding ceremony starts promptly at 5:00pm, so we strongly recommend arriving no later than 4:30pm. For those who live in LA, you know how crazy traffic is on a Monday afternoon during rush hour, so please account for that. For those coming from out of town, trust us when we say traffic can be unexpected. Don't plan for traffic based on "distance", as it's common for 10 miles to take 45 minutes or longer!
Question
What is the expected attire?
Answer
Semi-formal or cocktail attire. While we want you to be comfortable, we're hoping to have our amazing photographer capture some unforgettable memories for us to cherish the rest of our lives. Here's some guidelines: https://www.theknot.com/content/what-to-wear-semi-formal
Question
What will the weather be like?
Answer
Expect temperatures in Topanga Canyon in March to be in the 60s while the sun is up and into the 50s when the sun goes down. Don't worry, the space is covered from the rain and there are heaters around the entire venue to keep us warm.
Question
Is there a registry for the couple?
Answer
No, we are not registering for gifts. We appreciate the thought, but the most important thing to us is that our family and friends are there to witness and celebrate the beginning of our marriage.
Question
Do we have to stay at a hotel?
Answer
Absolutely not! If you live in the area and would prefer to drive from home, that's totally fine. If you're from out of town and would prefer to get an Airbnb or other vacation rental, go for it! We know weddings can be expensive to attend, so we want to be considerate of that.
Question
What food and beverages will be served after the ceremony?
Answer
Inn of the Seventh Ray is an all-organic restaurant with a Michelin star rated chef. The food is incredible! After the ceremony there will be a cocktail hour with a mashed potato bar, charcuterie, beverages, and an open bar. Non-alcoholic beverages will include juice, lemonade, iced tea, natural soft drinks, coffee, and sparkling water. The hosted open bar will include wine, beer, champagne toast, and soju-inspired cocktails. Dinner will follow the cocktail hour.
