Question

COVID-19 Information

Answer

Please note that the reception will be indoors, and doors will be open for ventilation. We expect everyone in attendance to be fully vaccinated, and we'd appreciate if all guests (or at least one from each household) would take a COVID test in the two days leading up the event. Please email thesianturis@gmail.com if you are feeling sick or test positive within the week of the wedding.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

Please plan to arrive by 3:30 PM to have enough time to settle in, sign our guest book, and find your seats. The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:00 PM.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Semi-Formal: Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses.

Question

Can I take photos/videos during the ceremony?

Answer

No, we will be having an unplugged ceremony, which means no phones or cameras, please :) Our photographer and videographer will be capturing the moment, and we'll be sure to share it afterwards! Don't worry, there will be plenty of memorable moments to capture and share on our phones following the ceremony. Phones/cameras are welcome (and encouraged!) any time after the ceremony ends. Thank you!

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

We're expecting warm weather, with a high of 76 degrees during the day and a low of 53 degrees at night. The ceremony will be taking place outdoors, so feel free to bring a pair of sunglasses. The reception will be taking place indoors with the doors open, so a jacket is recommended in case it gets chilly after the sun goes down.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

Since we don't have a hotel block, there won't be a shuttle service from hotels to the venue. If you plan to drive to the wedding, the venue has two parking lots and free public street parking for overflow. Otherwise, we'd recommend scheduling a Lyft or Uber ride. Please note that we will be serving beer and wine at the wedding, so please plan your transportation accordingly.
