Question

How do I get to the wedding ceremony?

Answer

Take Highway One north through Cambria and turn left at Windsor Boulevard, then make your first quick right onto Moonstone Beach Drive. Take Moonstone Beach Drive north along the Pacific Ocean approximately one mile until you see the Leffingwell Landing sign, then turn left into the parking lot.

Question

Where do I park for the ceremony?

Answer

There is a parking lot for the State Park, but it is not large and so it is highly recommended that you carpool, if possible. There is also parking on Moonstone Beach Drive adjacent to the entrance to the park.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

October generally offers beautiful weather in Cambria, but the wedding is on grass overlooking the ocean, so be prepared for soft grass underfoot and ocean breezes. The wedding party will be in black gowns and tuxedos, so the bride and groom encourage everyone to dress with that in mind.

Question

Will there be chairs provided at the ceremony?

Answer

Leffingwell Landing is a State Park and the rules are very specific; there can be no chairs set out for the ceremony. There are scattered picnic tables where people can sit if so desired, but the ceremony should be brief enough that most can stand for the duration of it.

Question

How do I get to the reception?

Answer

Take Moonstone Beach Drive back to Windsor Boulevard and go left across Highway One. Turn right on Main Street and drive approximately one mile to the Joslyn Recreation Center (on the right side of the street, adjacent to the large lawn bowling green).

Question

Where do I park for the reception?

Answer

There is limited parking in front of the Joslyn Center and lawn bowling green, and more parking on Main Street. Again, carpooling might be a good idea.

Question

Will there be food and drinks at the reception?

Answer

Yes, there will be wine, beer, and cocktails along with light appetizers, followed by an Italian meal catered by an excellent restaurant in San Luis Obispo.

Question

Should I wear my dancing shoes?

Answer

Yes! There will be a DJ and a dance floor at the reception, and the bride and groom hope that everyone will join them in dancing and celebrating. Plus, there will be live music and a dance floor at the After Party. 😊

Question

Where is the After Party?

Answer

The reception will end shortly before 5:00pm, and guests are invited to join the wedding party at the Cambria Pines Lodge starting at 6:00pm. There will be live music in the Fireside Lounge from 5:30 to 8:30pm, and again from 9:00 to 11:00pm. The Lounge offers plenty of seating, a full bar, and an adjacent restaurant should you get hungry again.

Question

Are children allowed at the ceremony and reception?

Answer

Yes, the bride’s and groom’s children will be participating, so they wish that everyone feels comfortable bringing their own families.

Question

What would the bride and groom prefer for a wedding gift?

Answer

Nicole and Ricky feel blessed to have everything they need. Therefore, in lieu of creating a gift registry, they are suggesting monetary gifts to help pay for their honeymoon in Pismo Beach, California. Checks can be made out to Richard Alonzo. For those unable to attend who would like to mail a gift, the couple's address is 640 Mill Street, Ely, Nevada 89301.
