FAQs

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

We're easy! Attire is semi-formal, so if you're thinking boots and jeans or suit and tie, that's good with us! Remember, the ceremony is at the church, but the reception is at the ranch where the ground is gravel. Weather permitting, the reception dinner will be outside.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Unless it was specifically noted on your formal invitation, no uninvited guests. We want to celebrate with family and close friends we know and love.

Question

Can I take photos at the ceremony?

Answer

We're asking for the ceremony, no photos please, just enjoy and be in the moment with us! Our photographer will be capturing all our special moments in the church. BUT, the reception at the ranch is fair game!

Question

Can I bring my kids?

Answer

Kids are welcome, just please let us know ahead of time if you plan to bring them and include them on your formal RSVP.

Question

Are the ceremony and reception at the same venue?

Answer

No! Our ceremony is at St Peter Catholic Church in Cloverdale. Our reception is at the Ranch at Lake Sonoma. We will not be providing transportation to the reception, but it is only 15 minutes away through scenic wine country. There is plenty of parking, but please plan accordingly.

Question

What time is the reception over?

Answer

Because the Ranch operates under a lease through the Army Corps of Engineers, they are under a strict cutoff of 10 PM.
