FAQs
Question
Will Gatita be at the wedding?
Answer
Unfortunately, our venue has a strict "no pets" policy. We are looking forward to incorporating her into our special day in other ways ♥️
Question
Are children invited to the wedding?
Answer
While we love your kids, with the exception of our immediate family and a few close friends, we kindly request that this is an adults only celebration. Your RSVP will list those who are requested to attend. We recognize this can be tough news when it comes to planning your attendance, but we hope this can be a fun excuse to have a lil' romantic weekend getaway with your person. Thank you for understanding!
Question
Are children invited to Welcome Drinks?
Answer
Yep! Ancient Owl is a family friendly biergarten, so please feel free to bring your kids :)
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
If your invitation includes a +1, then yes! Otherwise, please leave those other friends at home.
Question
But what will I wear?!
Answer
Let's get dressed up! Cocktail attire is requested at the wedding ceremony & reception; wear something fun and dressy, but make sure you feel comfortable and ready to boogie. We'll be on a mix of gravel, dirt, and concrete - block heels or wedges are recommended. Casual attire is just fine for welcome drinks!
Question
What will the weather be like?
Answer
San Luis Obispo at the end of June is typically dry and in the mid-70s. It can get a bit windy at La Cuesta Ranch, so we recommend bringing a light jacket the day of the wedding in case it cools down in the evening.
Question
How should I plan to get to the wedding venue?
Answer
There is plenty of parking if you'd like to bring your vehicle. We'll be close to downtown SLO, so Uber, Lyft, and other sober ride options will be accessible as well. For those who get a little too excited about all the fun bevvies at the bar, please feel free to leave your car at the venue overnight - we'd much rather you get home safely than get behind the wheel! If that's the case, just plan to pick up your vehicle by 10:30 am on Sunday.
Question
What's the venue like?
Answer
La Cuesta Ranch is a beautiful, mostly outdoor venue. There is a mix of shade and sunny spots around the property. Plan to be outside for most of the day, with dancing inside a covered barn. We'll be on a mix of gravel, dirt, and concrete - block heels or wedges are recommended.
Question
Will a formal invitation be sent out?
Answer
We will not be sending out formal invitations, so your next step will be to RSVP (woo!). All the info you'll need can be found on this website - everything from event details to travel info to submitting your formal RSVP.
Question
How do I RSVP?
Answer
All RSVPs will be submitted through this website. You can find your RSVP for our wedding weekend events under the RSVP section by looking up your name to identify the members of your party who are requested to attend. Don't forget to answer the follow-up questions! We kindly ask that you RSVP no later than May 1, 2025.
Question
What if I can't make it to the wedding?
Answer
We will miss you dearly, but we get it! Things happen. Please let us know by RSVP'ing "will not attend" as soon as you can if you're unable to join us - this will help us greatly in our planning for the day. We hope we can find another time to get together to celebrate!
