We have secured a discount at Catamaran Resort & Spa in Mission Bay where the Bride and Groom will be staying. You can find more details in the Travel page of our site. We recommend staying there to be nearer to other guests and our events.

Question

When will the reception end? Will there be an after-party?

Answer

The city of La Jolla has a strict 10pm noise ordinance, so unfortunately the festivities will end promptly at 10. Last call will be at 9:30 and the venue requires the music to be off on time. Yes! The after party will be at The Shack Bar & Grill. Check out our schedule page for details.

Question

Can I take photos and post them on social media?

Answer

We have hired an excellent photographer and videographer to take photos and video of us and of all of our guests. We respectfully request that you keep your devices away during the ceremony. We'll have a QR code available after the ceremony that lets you share any photos you take with us automatically. But we've limited it to 15 photos so that you can be present as much as possible and to force you to be selective and only take photos for special and unique moments. When we get back from our Honeymoon (May 6th), let us know and we'll try to send you an album with photos that you're in so that you can have for whatever you'd like to do with them.
