FAQs

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be at the same place?

Answer

Not quite! Our ceremony will take place at San Carlos Cathedral, and the reception will follow at The Barns at Cooper Molera. Don’t worry, they’re just a 10-minute walk or a quick 3-minute drive from each other. We’ll provide more details as the big day gets closer.

Question

Will there be hotel blocks?

Answer

We’ve reserved a limited number of rooms for our wedding party, but we’re excited to welcome everyone to beautiful Monterey! There are plenty of great places to stay nearby. For recommendations and booking tips, check out the Travel & Lodging page on our wedding website.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We kindly ask that our wedding be an adults-only (21+) celebration. The only exceptions are two little ones from our immediate family. We hope you understand and enjoy a fun night out with us!

Question

When should I plan to arrive and leave?

Answer

If you're in the wedding party, we recommend arriving by Thursday evening or Friday morning since the rehearsal dinner will be on Friday. We're also planning a post-wedding "recalentado" (think: relaxed hangout with food and good company!) on Sunday, so plan to head home Sunday night or Monday if you want to join us. If you're not in the wedding party, arriving Friday and leaving Sunday will work perfectly to enjoy all the main wedding festivities!

Question

When will I get the formal invitation?

Answer

You’ll receive the official invitation about 4 to 6 months before the wedding with all the details you’ll need to RSVP and plan. For now, just save the date and stay tuned!

Question

What’s the dress code?

Answer

More details to come!

Question

Can I bring a guest?

Answer

We're planning a more intimate celebration with our closest people so we can truly connect with everyone there. If your invitation includes a guest, they’re absolutely invited! Otherwise, we hope you know how much it means to us to share this special day with you.

Question

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony will be indoors in a beautiful church. The reception will be a mix of both! We’ll kick things off with cocktail hour outside, followed by dinner and dancing inside a rustic barn. Guests will still have access to the outdoor space throughout the night to get some fresh air or relax on the cozy lounge seating under the stars.
