The ceremony will take place outdoors overlooking the Pacific Ocean. A cocktail hour will follow and will take place in an open air space. Dinner and the reception will be indoors.
No. We adore your children, however, we've elected to limit our ceremony and reception to adults only. We want our friends and family to take a night off and celebrate with us. We are working with the venue and our planners to find preferred babysitting services.
Semi-formal. For men, a suit, sport coat, or guayabera are all perfect options. For women, any length dress, dressy jumpsuits, rompers, slacks, or skirts all work!
