Tidbits
What's your favorite activity together?
We are big foodies so we love eating and drinking and trying new restaurants and bars! And we especially love exploring new hikes and trails with Marlow!
What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?
We moved across the country in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic with Marlow and stopped in Maryland, Tennessee, Colorado, and made a pit stop in Las Vegas to visit friends and family and explore the cities :)

Are kids welcome?
As much as we love your little ones, we will not be including them in the ceremony or reception.
What will the weather be like?
Welcome to SoCal! The first month of spring, March is still a comfortable but crisp month in San Clemente, California. The average high temperature is 65°F and the average low temperature is 51°F. Could see some chilly marine layer (fog) in the mornings along the coast but usually burns off in the afternoon. Shorts, sweatshirt, flip flops always works :)
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Our wedding ceremony is outdoors around sunset, but our reception will be indoors / outdoors.
Are the ceremony and reception locations wheelchair accessible?
Yes, it's an easy walk from the parking area to the ceremony and reception areas.
Where should I park?
There is free parking at the venue!
What should I wear?
Cocktail Attire.
What kind of shoes should/shouldn't I wear?
Calling all ladies! Do not wear stiletto heels. I repeat, do not wear stiletto heels. There are a bunch of grassy/dirt areas that you might have to walk in so wear chunky heels or sandals. Can't have any of you ruining nice shoes or breaking any ankles.
Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?
Yes! We would love for you to take photos of the night and share them with us!
However, please refrain from taking photos during the ceremony.
Is there transportation being provided between reception and hotels?
The hotel with the room block (The Hampton Inn & Suites in San Clemente) sits right next to the wedding venue and is a 5-minute walk. The ceremony and reception are at the same location but very close to all other hotels Airbnb areas.
Will there be any activities happening that I need to know about?
The reception ends at 10:30pm and the unofficial after party is at Bloom's Pub in San Clemente, a whopping 4 minute walk from The Hampton Inn & Suites at San Clemente and wedding venue :)
