Dress code is formal attire with black tie optional: long/midi/floor length dresses for women encouraged (think a bit fancier than cocktail attire dresses, such as evening gowns or similar). For men, suits with a jacket and ties are encouraged (men may wear a tuxedo, but do not have to). Dress shoes are encouraged for all, but feel free to bring a comfortable pair of shoes for dancing at the reception if desired; there will be spaces inside to store extra shoes. Please use this as an excuse to get dressed up fancy and elegant! :) Please kindly refrain from wearing shades of white or white adjacent or attire in a rust/terracotta color palette to allow the bride and bridesmaids to stand out! The ceremony and reception are both being held on hard surfaces and walking paths, with no grass.

RSVP date will be released once formal invitations are officially sent! We kindly ask that you RSVP by the date listed on formal invitations, as the RSVP page will be closed beyond that date.

The ceremony will be held inside of a church. Cocktail hour and reception will be outside with access to bathrooms inside of the house throughout the night.

La Jolla, San Diego is temperate throughout the year with August being warm and sunny during the day (mid-high 70s) and evening temperature to be in the high 60s to low 70s (consider bringing a light sweater/jacket/shawl if you tend to get cold for the evening). It will be slightly warmer at the church due to time of day and being more inland. Sunglasses and sunscreen encouraged for walking outside during the day!

The ceremony will be held at The Immaculata Church, located on University of San Diego's campus, and will have a designated parking lot for those attending the wedding ceremony. Darlington House (reception venue) is located within the residential neighborhood of La Jolla. It has no dedicated parking lot, but will have a valet for parking if you plan to drive to the reception venue. There is also some street parking available at a first come first serve basis. Please be courteous when parking and do not block driveways or crossing areas. We encourage Uber/rideshare apps if you plan on drinking alcohol.

The ceremony will begin at 11:00 AM. Please arrive at the church 15-20 minutes prior to allow time for parking/drop off and finding your seat.

We are having a traditional Catholic mass and therefore an unplugged ceremony. This means that once the ceremony begins, we kindly ask that all phones be put away and silenced. We want everyone to be fully present with us during this special ceremony and Sacrament, and for our photographer to be able to capture the best pictures (which we will share with you). Once the ceremony is over, feel free to take as many pictures as you'd like and don't forget to share them with us!

As many of you may have noticed, there is a roughly 4-5 hour gap in the day from when the ceremony ends to the start of cocktail hour- so what is one supposed to do? If you're jet-lagged, in need of some downtime, or a nap/freshen-up, here's your chance! If you're rested and ready to explore, please refer to the "things to do" section for ideas. This ranges from snapping some pictures of the sea lions at the La Jolla Cove, grabbing a cocktail or craft beer and appetizers/lunch nearby, to checking out a local aquarium. San Diego is a beautiful scenic place and we truly hope this can be an excuse for everyone (especially those from out of town) to see it and enjoy!

Yes, but please consider bringing cash to tip the bartenders! :)
