12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
We strongly encourage each and every guest to attend our ceremony, whether you are religious or not. After all, this is where Maggie and Michael will officially be married. Please visit our FAQ page to know what to expect if you've never attended a Catholic wedding! The ceremony will begin promptly at 12:30pm. Please plan to arrive early to park, make your way to the Arboretum, and get seated.
5:00 pm - 11:00 pm
We encourage guests to dress in black-tie optional -- that means a suit and tie for men, and a fancy cocktail or floor-length dress for women. For women, please avoid wearing white ;)
Cocktail hour will begin at 5pm, followed immediately by reception beginning at 6pm. The ceremony and cocktail hour will be held indoors while the reception will be outside in a paved courtyard. While Southern California will be sunny during the day, it will get chilly in the evening. The reception venue will have heaters, but we still recommend bringing layers for the evening. Take the night off and leave the little ones at home! We politely request no children attend the reception, unless seats have explicitly been reserved under their name. Thank you in advance for understanding. Additionally, due to limited space, this invitation is for the named guest only. Please contact the couple if you have any questions about additional or alternate adult guests. Not sure about what to do between the ceremony and reception? Visit our Things to Do page for tips!
