Question

Are kids allowed to attend?

Answer

Children of immediate family only, please.

Question

What time should I arrive to the ceremony?

Answer

The Palace of Fine Arts is a public park and so it will be open all day — feel free to go early, take photos and walk around. The ceremony starts promptly at 5pm. Recommended arrival time is 4:40/4:45pm.

Question

What should I know about the ceremony location?

Answer

The ceremony will be held outside under the Rotunda at Palace of Fine Arts. It is a public park, but the Rotunda will be closed off and private for the wedding. We will have security. We will also have Taylor's cousins directing you towards the Rotunda. You'll be able to identify them by their walkie talkies (not kidding). There are no convenient bathrooms nearby. We recommend that you Uber/Lyft to the ceremony location, because parking can be tough. Address to provide for Uber/Lyft: 3601 Lyon St, San Francisco, CA 94123.

Question

Will transportation be provided between venues?

Answer

We will be providing Lyft Event Pass Credit for transportation between the Palace and Webster Hall. The code will be provided closer to the wedding day. Note: you will be responsible to request your Lyft ride.

Question

What should I know about the reception location?

Answer

The reception will be held at Webster Hall, an old health sciences library. It will be a closed/private event for our wedding. We’ll have dinner and then dance into the night!

Question

What’s the reception vibe?

Answer

Cocktail lounge meets intimate family dinner meets all-night dance party. Come hungry! There will be gluten and dairy free options available.

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

At the reception, we will be serving beer, wine, cocktails and also have sodas, water and juices for non-alcoholic beverages. And, of course, we will have coffee with dessert.

Question

Is there a spot to put our photos from the weekend?

Question

Why did you choose the Palace of Fine Arts and Webster Hall?

Answer

Both locations are storied, fancy, perfect examples of SF architecture and seem to exist in a permanent golden hour glow. Webster Hall used to be a health sciences library and still smells like books. The Palace is the site of many of our walk ‘n’ talks and picnics. We hope that you fall in love with these places as much as we have!

Question

What health and safety measures should I take?

Answer

If you’re feeling sick with COVID19 symptoms, we ask that you test before coming to the wedding to be mindful of other guests and keep us all as safe as possible. Thank you!

Question

What’s the weather like?

Answer

It’s warm in September/October, but Karla the Fog can roll in at any time. The average high is 71° F, the average low is 56° F. Pack layers and consider bringing a light jacket or wrap to the ceremony. The average time for sunset in SF in September is 7pm. You can expect it to be around 65°/70° F at the ceremony.

Question

Is San Francisco safe?

Answer

Both the ceremony, reception, and the hotel blocks are in historically safe neighborhoods. It’s a city. Be smart, don’t leave anything in your car or out in public, and look both ways before you cross the bike lane. You’ll do great!

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

Check out the 'TRAVEL' section for our recommendations!

Question

How should I get around the city?

Answer

Uber and Lyft are the most convenient ways to get around the city. Public transportation through the SFMTA tends to run late, but Taylor has a soft spot for the Muni. It’s not recommended to take public transportation late at night — instead, call an Uber/Lyft.
