We can't wait to share our special day with you!

Saturday July 1, 2023

Story

Our romance began as a modern day love story eight years ago. A fortunate happening of chance. A blind date of sorts. After exchanging deep intriguing messages about each other for some time we decided to meet at a favorite Italian restaurant for dinner. We were curiously attracted to each other. Drawn together through our mutual interest in all of the arts, classic literature, cooking exotic dishes, exploring new hiking trails, attending all kinds of concerts, camping and going on travel adventures to anywhere on the planet. We expressed our desire to share our passions together and our journey began...

Q & A

For all our friends and family who have lots of questions, please check out our Q & A first!

When is the RSVP deadline?

Please RSVP by June 7th, so we can have an accurate headcount. :)

Can I bring a date?

Please check your invite for your +1!

Are kids welcome?

We love your little ones and they are welcome to attend the ceremony and reception!

What will the weather be like?

Welcome to summer in the Santa Clarita Valley. It should be very warm in the evening, but then it cools down at night. It is good to bring a wrap or a sweater along.

Where should I park?

There is plenty of free parking in the lot or on the streets around the clubhouse.

Are the ceremony and reception locations wheelchair accessible?

Yes, I believe they are.

What should I wear?

Typical wedding attire would be great!

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Our wedding ceremony is outdoors, but our reception will be in and outside the clubhouse.

What kind of shoes should/shouldn't I wear?

I would recommend you not wear your stiletto heels. There are a bunch of grassy areas that you might have to walk in so it might be best to wear chunky heels or sandals.

Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?

Yes! We would love for you to take photos and share them on our app Joy.

Whom should I call with questions?

Please call our lovely maid of honor Ann with question at 661-313-6532.
