Q & A
Here's where you can find information on hotels, what we will be serving for dinner, and vaccination requirements and more!
When is the RSVP deadline?
November 1, 2021.
Do I have to be vaccinated to attend your wedding and/or provide a negative COVID-19 test?
Yes. We are asking all guests who are not children or cannot receive a vaccination due to a health condition to be vaccinated to attend our wedding. Let's stay safe folks!
Depending on where things stand closer to the date, we may also require guests traveling from outside U.S. and Canada to test negative before the big day.
If you are feeling sick or experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, please send us your love from a distance instead.
I am coming from out of town. Where should I stay?
Check out the "Hotels and Such" section of the website for hotel recommendations, where hotels are listed by approximate distance from the wedding venue. We're working on getting a room block, and will update the website with more info later. There's also Airbnb.
What will the weather be like?
Los Angeles is usually wonderful during the winter. In December, highs average around 68-72, while lows average 49-52. You might consider bringing some warm layers for the evening.
The ceremony will be outside at 3:30 p.m. followed by cocktail hour before dinner. Dinner will be inside, however, we will also keep all of the doors to the venue open the entire time. We will also have an outside area with heaters for anyone who wants to party outside.
Where should I park?
There is underground parking available at the venue and street parking as well.
What's for dinner?
We are serving delicious buffet-style Pakistani cuisine. Here is what you can expect:

Are the ceremony and reception locations wheelchair accessible?
Yes.
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Our wedding ceremony is in a grassy, outdoor space, but our reception will be in an outdoor patio and indoors. The outdoor patio will have heaters.
What should I wear?
Semi-formal attire. Please feel free to wear Western or Pakistani attire :)
What kind of shoes should/shouldn't I wear?
Women might want to avoid stiletto heels for the grassy ceremony portion of the afternoon and consider chunky heels or sandals instead.
Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?
Please refrain from taking photos during the ceremony, but you're welcome to snap away during any other part of the evening.
Whom should I contact with questions?
For now, you can email Jason at gendler@gmail.com, or Saba at sabaz06@gmail.com.
Will there be dancing?
You best believe it.
Is there a gifts registry?
We're lucky to already have a home full of everything we need, but we would be happy to accept monetary gifts instead.
