Yes – Garden Formal Please find some inspiration here: https://pin.it/6JQhLKlds We kindly ask guests to wear attire that is soft, elegant, and nature-inspired. Our color theme is white and green, with light yellow as accent colors. Think long dresses or linen/light suits in muted tones or classic neutrals. Please avoid bright colors and patterns to gently blend in with the landscape. Shoes should be suited for grass and gravel. Warm during the day (~87°F), cooling in the evening (~57°F)—a light layer is recommended.
For ease of access to the venue (20 minutes), we recommend Hayes Mansion in south San Jose. For sightseeing and other activities before/after the event, we recommend staying in cities such as Cupertino, Mountain View, and Palo Alto (25-45mins to venue).
Yes, complimentary valet parking is available on-site.
We have not planned for transportation. For those visiting, we recommend using Uber or Lyft if staying near San Jose ($50-60), or renting a car from SFO/SJC airport if exploring the Bay Area before/after. If you would like to join a carpool (or host a carpool), please contact Joe or Yifei, and we will try our best to organize.
Please note any food allergies or restrictions in the RSVP comment.
Please arrive by 5:30pm, as the ceremony will begin at 6:00pm.
San Martin has a warm, Mediterranean climate with an August average high of 87°F and low of 57°F. We recommend dressing accordingly for a warm ceremony and possible cool evening after sunset.
If you would like to give a gift, a traditional red envelope (红包hongbao) would be warmly appreciated as we begin this next chapter together. Please see the Registry section of the website for details.
