FAQs
Question
ATTENTION FRIENDS AND FAMILY
Answer
With the direction of our venue, we had taken steps to keep people safe and be conscious of the COVID-19 pandemic by having the event fully outdoors, observing distancing recommendations, and encouraging face coverings. However, recent changes in the City of Del Mar and San Diego County have enforced restrictions on the hotel, many of our vendors, and the public park we had reserved for the ceremony. It is with heavy hearts that we are forced to make the same tough decisions so many other couples are facing during this time. For now, we ask that all guests hold off on reserving travel arrangements until further notice. As we decide how to proceed given the new guidelines, we will be sure to inform all of you as soon as we possibly can. Thank you for your continued love and support! Regretfully, Ashley and Chris
Question
COVID-19 (Coronavirus)
Answer
We want to be able to share our day with you. Together with the venue, we are working to provide a memorable event; while also ensuring each of our guests has the opportunity to feel safe and enjoy themselves. Yet due to the pandemic, we are forced to face the possibility that our plans may have to change with relatively short notice, due to state and local regulations. We promise to do our best to keep in touch with all of you. The health and safety of our guests will always come first. Both the ceremony and reception will be outdoors, with dancing and refreshments to follow. Masks will be provided. We encourage wearing a face covering when engaging close to others outside of your immediate household, or whenever comfortable. This only works if we are all respectful of one another! Do not hesitate to give us a call with any questions. Love, Ashley & Chris
Question
What if I feel sick or have been near someone recently exposed to Coronavirus? (What if I am not comfortable attending a larger group event just yet?)
Answer
Although we want to have each and every one of you there for our wedding, please be mindful and take an honest account of your personal health and comfort level leading up to October 23. If you have concerns about attending a group event - or if you are feeling ill, have signs of a fever or know you have been around anyone else potentially exposed - it's okay... just stay home! No one will be offended for canceling due to heath concerns, and it is in the best interest of everyone not to take unnecessary risks when it comes to potentially spreading this virus. You will be on our minds and included in our wedding even if you cannot be there! It is simple: if you think you may have been exposed to the virus in any way, stay home and be with us in spirit!
