Questions & Answers

What is the dress code for Welcome Drinks on Friday?

Casual attire — think Friday night drinks with family and friends after work at a coastal bar.

What is the dress code for the Wedding Day on Saturday?

This is a formal event.
Gentlemen: Please wear a suit and tie.
Ladies: Formal cocktail attire or long dresses are perfect.
Need color inspiration? Think deep greens, rich browns, warm ochres and oranges, soft creams, classic black, and timeless navy. Please avoid purples, hot pinks, and bright blues — we’re aiming for a grounded, earthy palette that compliments the vision for our celebration.

Are kids welcome?

Our family is full of wonderful little ones, and they are warmly welcome to join us for the church ceremony at St. Mary Roman Catholic Church. However, the reception will be an adults-only celebration. We kindly ask that you enjoy this special night kids-free, with our deepest thanks for your understanding.

Is there parking at the ceremony and reception?

Yes, parking is available at both St. Mary Roman Catholic Church and Oceancliff.

Are you registered? Where?

Yes! Our registry can be found at the bottom of our wedding website. Linked through Zola.
