We are getting married on April 18, 2026, at Monserate Winery in Fallbrook, CA and spending the weekend in beautiful Oceanside, California—a coastal town known for its relaxed surf culture, long pier, and gorgeous ocean views.
Ceremony seating begins at 3:30pm with a start time of 4:00 PM. Please arrive 30 minutes before the ceremony start time to find parking, get settled, and enjoy the moment.
Our dress code is Black Tie Optional, offering you the flexibility to dress elegantly while feeling comfortable. Gentlemen can choose between a classic tuxedo or a well-tailored suit, complemented by a tie or bow tie. Ladies are invited to wear a floor-length gown, a sophisticated cocktail dress, or other refined formal attire. Given our coastal spring setting, we encourage light, breathable fabrics and soft, seasonal colors that capture the essence of a beautiful Southern California evening.
Oceanside in April typically has mild, comfortable spring weather—daytime highs around the mid-to-high 60s °F (~67 °F) and cooler evenings in the low-to-mid 50s °F. It’s usually pleasant but can get breezy near the water, so bringing a light wrap or jacket is a great idea.
We love your little ones, but our wedding is an adults-only celebration. We hope this gives everyone a chance to relax and enjoy the night. Thank you for understanding!
