FAQs

Weddings can get a little crazy, right? We don't want to be that couple. Plan on a quirky, fun-filled night to kick back and make some memories. Oh, and we'll get married at some point. Here's our best stab at frequently asked questions - but if you need an answer and you don't see it here, don't hesitate to reach out!
Question

What's the Covid-19 plan?

Answer

We ask that all guests attending the wedding are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and are not presenting any symptoms. If you are not feeling well, or if you're unvaccinated, we ask that you celebrate from a distance. We want to keep everyone safe.

Question

What's the dress code?

Answer

There's no dress code, pals. Wear whatever you're comfortable in! But if it helps give you a baseline, we imagine most attendees will be in semi-formal cocktail attire. It could get chilly outside during the evening. We'll have heaters and a fire pit, but a jacket or shawl may make you feel more comfy.

Question

Can we mask?

Answer

Of course! Whatever you’re most comfortable with. Additionally, the venue has large back doors to the patio with lots of air flow to the inside. If you’d prefer we sit you on the patio for dining, we’d be more than happy to accommodate.

Question

I noticed the invitation was only addressed to the adults. Are my kiddos invited?

Answer

We are tickled to be getting married in the bar where we shared our first date. But the location is just that: a 21+ bar without any amenities or features for the little ones. That being the case, we hope this will be a fun evening out for just the grown-ups! We've also included information about child care options should you choose to stay at Hotel Amarano. It's a five minute drive or rideshare away from the venue, so you can pop back at any time.

Question

How long is the event itself?

Answer

So glad you asked! As you may have seen on the Shenanigans page, this isn't your typical wedding. The doors open at 6 p.m. and the wedding rolls right from ceremony into reception. If you just want to stay to say you saw the cake cutting, you're clear by like 9:30 p.m. If you want to stay for the whole shebang, plan on being out past midnight.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Great question! We have limited space at Idle Hour, so if your invitation doesn't indicate a plus one, we'd prefer it to be just you.

Question

What's the parking situation?

Answer

Oh, Los Angeles... your parking is terrible, but your bar scene is so good. There is limited parking near Idle Hour, including meter and street parking if you're up for the challenge. But because this will be an evening fueled with games, merriment and a very liberal open bar, we do recommend that you taxi or rideshare to and from the event. Oh, and Hotel Amarano is just five minutes away, should you want to make an evening of it.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Yes indeed! It's important to us to accommodate all allergies and dietary requests so you can have a great time without being worried about what you can and can't eat. Please notate those when completing your RSVP. If you forgot or were unable to, please reach out to us directly.

Question

Are you changing your names?

Answer

Mr. Alex Foster and Ms. Dani Iglesias will be our names before the wedding and after the wedding! It saves a lot of paperwork and lets us hold onto our given names.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

We have a traditional registry here on the wedding website, sure! But you know us - we're an nontraditional couple. While we appreciate any and all gifts, your support and encouragement is all we really need. If you're not feeling a registry gift, please get creative and do what's right for you: donate to a charity you're passionate about, write us a heartfelt letter, volunteer with an animal rescue. You get the idea. We appreciate all of it!

Question

Who's in your Wedding Party?

Answer

Sorry boo-boos, we're pretty nontraditional, and that extends to wedding party traditions. We like to think that everyone attending our wedding is part of our wedding party, as, in fact, you'll all be partying at our wedding! We consider each and every one of you Best People and Humans of Honor.

Question

Is there dancing?

Answer

You can dance if you want to. You can leave your friends behind. But your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance - don't judge them or write a song to shame them. [Read: There's tons of great music at this wedding, but we're foregoing the tradition of spotlight wedding dances. There won't be a dance floor, but if the mood strikes you, feel free to get dance anywhere you damn well please!]

Question

Dani, as a graphic designer, is this pre-designed Zola wedding website template killing you?

Answer

Yes. Yes it is. Why is everything center aligned? Why are the questions only available in title case? Thank you for your question. I feel seen.
