What does "Coastal Cocktail" mean?
Coastal Cocktail is a fun way of saying cocktail attire, but make it summery!
- Gentlemen might think about wearing a light suit or maybe nice collared shirt paired with slacks. Just think WWPW, what would Phil wear?
- Ladies would look lovely in a summer cocktail dress or a dressy jumpsuit. Still not sure, ask the bridal party! They are full of ideas.
- Please no shorts or jeans
When should I RSVP by?
Please have your RSVP card in by July 24. To be extra helpful, please put your initial next to your meal choice.
May I bring a date or my kids?
As indicated on your invitation, room will only be reserved for the addressees. Please do not bring any additional guests. We love all of your children, but unfortunately we are unable to accommodate them all. Hopefully, this will give guests a chance to celebrate without having to worry about little eyes and ears.
How do I get to Rincon Beach Club?
We HIGHLY recommend using the "bus stops" to get to the wedding venue. They will be located at the three recommended hotels. If able, you can try to park at or near these locations. RideShare apps, Lyft and Uber have less availability in the small beach town of Carpinteria and can be inconsistent at times. Parking at and near the venue is also very limited.
Will the wedding be outdoors?
Yes! Feel free to check on the venues website to see the beautiful garden setting, but we are hoping for a beautiful Carpinteria evening.
What will the weather be like in Carpinteria in August?
The average high is 88* with an average low of 69*. The mornings often start out with coastal fog and give way to beautiful blue skies. Hand fans and parasols will be available at the venue.
What food will be served at the wedding?
We will be serving hors d'oeuvres at cocktail hour followed by a sit-down dinner with a choice of short rib, artichoke stuffed chicken, or mushroom ravioli. We will also have dessert. Please indicate your entrée selection on your RSVP card with your initial.
What if I am gluten free or have an allergy?
Unfortunately, the short ribs and ravioli contain gluten, but the artichoke stuffed chicken and all the plated sides are gluten free. For other allergies, please let us know or alert your server once seated.
Can I take photos?
We invite you to be fully present with us. Please keep all devices turned off during our ceremony and formal dances. Our amazing photographer and videographer will be taking lots of shots that we will be eager to share with all of you!
I have more questions. Who should I contact?
As the event nears, please direct questions to our Maid of Honor, Kelsey Unger or the Best Man, Brian Layman.
