Q + A

What is the dress code?

We kindly request semi-formal, all-black attire to complement the elegance of the day. Think cocktail dresses, dressy jumpsuits, suits, or slacks with a button-down — all in black. As the ceremony will take place outdoors in the summer, we recommend choosing breathable fabrics and comfortable footwear. Your style and presence will help make the day even more beautiful.

Where is the wedding taking place?

The ceremony and reception will both be held at: Hiddenbrooke Hills 1095 Hiddenbrooke Pkwy Vallejo, CA 94591

Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?

Weather permitting, the ceremony will take place outdoors with the reception to follow indoors. We recommend bringing a light wrap or jacket for the evening.

What time should I arrive?

The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:00 PM, so we recommend arriving at least 5 minutes early to allow time for parking and seating.

Will there be transportation or parking available at the venue?

Complimentary parking is available on-site at the venue. Transportation will not be provided but rideshare (Uber, Lyft) options are also available in the area.

Can I bring a guest or a plus-one?

We kindly ask that only those listed on your invitation attend. Thank you for understanding as we keep our celebration intimate.

Are kids welcome?

We love your little ones, but our wedding will be an adults-only affair. We hope you enjoy a night out to celebrate with us!

Will food and drinks be served?

Absolutely! A delicious buffet-style dinner will be served, along with dessert and wine to keep the celebration flowing. If you have any dietary restrictions, please be sure to let us know when you RSVP — we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

Can I bring my own alcohol?

We’ll be serving champagne during cocktail hour and wine with paired dinner at the reception. A wine and champagne bar will also be available for additional purchase. But if you’d like to bring something special, feel free to do so discreetly.

How far are the airports to the venue?

Oakland - 26 miles, San Francisco - 39 miles, San Jose - 45 miles, Sacramento - 57 miles

What hotel do you recommend?

There are convenient lodging options in Vallejo just minutes from the venue. If you’re planning to explore Oakland or would like to spend more time with us beyond the wedding day, we recommend booking a hotel in Oakland. We’ve listed a few great options on the Travel tab to help you find the perfect spot for your stay!

What's the best way to get around the Bay Area?

We highly recommend renting a car for added convenience during your stay. A toll pass is recommended as you will have to pay bridge toll. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are also widely available throughout the Bay Area. WARNING: DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING IN YOUR CAR! CAR BURGLARY IS EXTREMELY HIGH.

Things to consider

Bay Area traffic can be unpredictable, especially on weekdays. Plan accordingly to ensure timely arrival at the wedding.

Who can I contact with questions?

If you have any questions leading up to the big day, feel free to contact us directly or reach out the maid of honor, Izzy Tafere at 510-631-7686.
