FAQs

Question

Where and when?

Answer

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.

Question

What time should I arrive at Monserate Winery for the ceremony?

Answer

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.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

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.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

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.

Question

Are children invited?

Answer

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!

Question

Getting there & accommodations?

Answer

Discover your perfect home away from home on our Travel page, where we've curated a selection of hotel recommendations and exclusive room blocks in Oceanside. From charming seaside hotels to intimate boutique inns, there's an ideal accommodation waiting for you. We recommend booking early to secure your preferred stay!

Question

Will transportation be provided?

Answer

Yes, we will have a charter bus for 56 guests from The Seabird to Monserate. It will depart at 3pm on the dot and then leave from Monserate to The Seabird when the wedding ends at 10pm. To get to the bus, please walk out of the hotel lobby and make an immediate right, then left on N Meyers St and the bus will be waiting in that location on the backside of the hotel.

Question

Do you have a gift registry?

Answer

We're honored that you want to celebrate our special day. While your presence means the most to us, we've created a registry for those who wish to give a gift. You can find all the details on our wedding website.

Question

Will there be food & drink?

Answer

Yes! Our reception will feature a delectable dining experience and an open bar to keep the celebration flowing all evening long.

Question

Is the ceremony outdoors?

Answer

We're thrilled to host our ceremony at a beautiful vineyard. While April offers generally mild weather, coastal breezes can be unpredictable. We've planned for comfort by providing shade and cover options, ensuring a seamless celebration regardless of the day's conditions. We recommend bringing light layers to stay comfortable and enjoy every moment of our special day.
