The ceremony will begin promptly at 5:00 p.m. We ask that you aim to arrive no later than 4:30 p.m. to provide ample time to find parking. Our wedding is located in downtown San Juan Capistrano, CA which can be busy and crowded, so please give yourself enough time!

The most convenient guest parking is Franciscan Plaza Parking Structure located adjacent to the venue and offers overnight parking options. However, parking is not free, so Uber/Lyft is encouraged. Please provide ample time to find parking or arrange an Uber/Lyft driver.
Question
Can I take pictures during the ceremony?
