Where is the wedding taking place?

We are getting married at the enchanting Inn of the Seventh Ray in Topanga Canyon.

How do I get to and from the wedding?

To make your journey as smooth as possible, we've arranged a shuttle service to and from the event. This way, you can enjoy the celebrations without any transportation worries.

SHUTTLE DETAILS:

Departs at 4:00PM

from the Courtyard Marriott in Santa Monica

425 Colorado Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90401

Arrival at venue at 5PM

There will be two shuttles home from the venue

1st Shuttle: Departs at 11:00PM back to Courtyard Marriott

2nd Shuttle: Departs at 11:30PM with two stops

1. Chez Jay Bar in Santa Monica for afterparty

2. Courtyard Marriott

You are also welcome to drive, there will be a VALET SERVICE available. It is possible to use rideshare to get there, but it can be difficult and expensive to get an Uber/Lyft out of the canyon.

Where should I stay?

We have a block of rooms at a discounted rate at the Courtyard Marriott in Santa Monica. This will be the central pick up and drop off point for the day of shuttles.

You can find additional accommodations either in Santa Monica, Malibu or Topanga Canyon (there are nearby hotels as well as a wide selection of Airbnb's).

What's the schedule for the event?

The wedding ceremony as well at the reception will all be at the Inn.

Arrival begins at 5PM

Ceremony starts at 5:30PM

What's the dress code?

We are calling it "Garden Formal", but we want guests to feel comfortable getting a little creative with their outfits. If you know us, you know we both love a fashion statement, so please feel free to go a little wild (or not!)

What should I keep in mind about the venue?

The Inn of the Seventh Ray offers a beautiful outdoor setting, so we recommend comfortable shoes suitable for walking on natural terrain. Evenings can be cool, so a light jacket or wrap might be a good idea.

Can I bring kids?

We love your little ones, but have decided to make our wedding an adults-only affair. This decision helps us create the atmosphere we're aiming for and allows all our adult guests, including parents, to relax and enjoy the celebration. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in making this day special for everyone involved.

What about dietary requirements?

We want everyone to enjoy the meal! Please let us know in advance if you have any dietary restrictions, and we'll do our best to accommodate them.

Is there a wedding registry?

Your presence at our wedding is truly the greatest gift we could ask for. The time, effort, and expense of traveling to be with us is something we deeply appreciate, and we are thrilled that we will be able to celebrate this happy occasion together.

That said, for friends and family who have expressed an interest in offering a gift, we have set up a registry. Please know that while gifts are appreciated, they are by no means necessary. Your support and love are already the most special contributions to our wedding day :)

Who do I contact if I have more questions?

Feel free to reach out to us at colleenev@gmail.com. We're here to make sure everything goes smoothly and we're so excited to celebrate with you!
