What should I wear? Is there a dress code?
Most importantly we want you to wear what makes you comfortable! For some inspiration, we put together this Pinterest board: https://www.pinterest.com/shivdanielle/what-to-wear/
We know you'll look beautiful :)
This wedding takes place over Halloweekend, should we wear costumes?
Good eye! If you'd like to wear a costume, please reserve it for the reception. To be clear, costumes are encouraged -- after the ceremony.
What will the weather be this time of year?
The average October Napa temperature is 62 degrees, the average high is 76 degrees and the average low is 48 degrees. We recommend packing layers.
Where are the ceremony and reception taking place?
Stefan's parents, Tony and Sarah, have generously offered their backyard as the location for both the ceremony and reception. (Thank you!)
Where should we stay?
There are several options for where you might stay. El Bonita is a nearby hotel in St. Helena. Nearby town of Calistoga has lovely bed and breakfasts, and Santa Rosa (slightly farther away) also has many hotel options. AirBNB also has great options for the region.
Where should guests park? Is parking free?
Guests can park on the lot next to the Forni - Cartlidge home. There is also parking on Spring Street. Both options are free.
What's the Uber or Lyft situation?
Ubers and Lyfts are available but since St. Helena is a small town, we recommend reserving a car with a local cab company if you don't plan to drive to the wedding.
Are there other wedding events I can attend?
Yes! On Sunday morning we are planning a family-friendly hike followed by lunch at Gott's Roadside.
Will food and drinks be served? What kind of food?
Food and drinks will be served at our wedding. Please use your RSVP to identify which entree you prefer.
Can I bring a date?
Maybe! Reach out to Stefan and Danielle to get a final confirmation.
What should I do if I can’t make it?
You will be missed! If you can not make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP “no,” so we can plan accordingly.
