October is a busy season in San Francisco! Our wedding weekend also falls on a big city event called Fleet Week. We recommend making your arrangements as soon as possible for the best rates and availability.

We recommend flying into San Francisco International Airport (SFO).

Our Story

In Spring 2016, Kimberly booked Max's Airbnb in Hong Kong when they were both living abroad in Asia. They found out they had a lot in common. For starters, they were both Christian, they both went to the same university, they both grew up in San Jose, and their parents both lived in the Bay Area. But Max had a trip scheduled during Kimberly's stay at his Airbnb, so they only met briefly.

When Kimberly was scheduled to fly back to China, she missed her flight. As she was trying to figure out what to do next, Max's return flight was landing. He immediately called her, hoping she was still in Hong Kong so they could grab lunch before she left. It turned out as they were talking to each other on the phone, they were also standing right behind each other in baggage claim. That night, they went on their first date and the rest is history!

COVID-19 Protocol

For all of our guests' health and safety, we request that all in attendance receive a COVID-19 test within 2 to 3 days prior to the wedding.

Are kids welcome?

We love your little ones! However, we unfortunately will not be able to accommodate children due to space restrictions.
