FAQs

The Wedding Website of Jennifer Valente and Caleb Contente
Please note, our wedding venue has changed from what was listed on our save the dates. All updated details can be found here.
Question

Where are you getting married?

Answer

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we did have a change of venue. La Lomita Ranch was one of our top picks from the start and we are so excited to now be getting married there! If you have already booked your stay in SLO, not to worry. Our venue is about 5 miles from downtown SLO, which is where we listed our suggested hotels. Address: 1985 La Lomita Way, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 For a closer look at the venue, including photos and details about the property, you can visit their website or Instagram.

Question

Will there be transportation to the wedding?

Answer

We are in the process of organizing a shuttle that will pick up and drop off from one of the hotels on Monterey Street in downtown San Luis Obispo, where we’ve listed several recommended hotels on our travel page. You are welcome to stay at any of the hotels we’ve listed along Monterey Street, as they are all within walking distance of one another, or use Google Maps to find another nearby option. The venue is approximately 5 miles from this area, and the shuttle will run throughout the event. We highly encourage using the shuttle if you are not planning to rent a car. While Ubers do operate in our area, availability can be limited, especially during busy weekends and events, and we’ve seen this become challenging in the past. This is why we’re organizing transportation for our guests. We’ll update this section as soon as we have more details to share.

Question

Is there parking at the venue?

Answer

Yes.

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony will be outside. The reception will be in the Pavilion, which is a covered space with high ceilings and open archways, so it still feels open and airy. Early August in San Luis Obispo is usually pretty mild. Daytime temps are in the high 70s to low 80s, evenings cool down to the upper 50s or low 60s, and rain is very unlikely.

Question

What is the suggested attire?

Answer

Cocktail attire or formal. We recommend dressing for warm weather and bringing a light layer for the evening.

Question

Will there be vegetarian or dietary-friendly options?

Answer

Yes. We will be serving meat options, as well as wood-fired pizza (with a vegetarian option), salad, and vegetable and starch sides. The menu is inspired by Southern Italian and Mediterranean cuisine.
