Can we tour Rengstorff House?
Yes! We have made sure that all the rooms inside the house are open to all our guests to tour at your leisure. It's such a beautiful house I highly recommend it!
I can't make it can I still watch?
Yes! Not only can you watch our ceremony but you can also be a part of our reception as well! We have an amazing videographer who will be live streaming our entire day as we know many of our family members can't attend. We hope to feel connected to as many loved ones as possible! Check out the Live Stream Link at the top of the page for more details.

WHAT TIME DO WE GET THERE?
We ask you arrive to the ceremony space by 4pm. There will be Boba tea and lawn games waiting for you! Please allow for up to 15 min to find parking due to the public space and how busy it gets. Due to this we would recommend you arrive to the location by 3:45pm.
IS THERE PARKING?
Yes there is free parking we have access to both near the lake and golf course. We highly recommend you use the Golf Course parking (Look for signs towards Michael's Restaurant / Golf Links. Follow those signs)
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
We would love for you to wear something that is comfortable yet cute! Garden Party attire is what we would recommend. This looks like casual dresses, jumpsuits, slacks, button down shirts. Ties and/or jackets are encouraged but not required. Light and breathable fabric is a great choice in the summer sun, with something to cover up with at night due to the breeze from the lake. Please wear flats or wedges as our venue doesn't allow for heels due to the nature of their lawns.
IS THE EVENT OUTDOORS?
Yes! The whole wedding will take place outdoors in the beautiful lawns of Rengstorff House. There will be access to a small portion inside the house, but please plan accordingly. If it rains... in July.. in the Bay Area.. well, we'll have to figure it out then!
WHAT WILL THE WEATHER BE LIKE?
Our venue is by a large lake, this means at night there is typically a lovely breeze so we recommend bringing something to cover up with at night to stay warm. During the day there will be limited shade in the ceremony area so please wear plenty of sunscreen! We will have parasols, fans, and Boba tea to keep us all as cool as possible! There will be more shade on the other areas of the lawn to allow for a reprieve from the sun. In the Bay Area the weather ranges anywhere from 75-100 degrees in July. We'll keep an eye on the weather leading up to the wedding to be sure everyone is as comfortable as possible!
CAN WE TAKE PHOTOS DURING THE CEREMONY?
There will be a time when the officiant will allow you to take photos during the ceremony, but until that moment and after, please keep your devices away to prevent any interruptions to our photographer or videographer.
WHAT ABOUT AFTER THE CEREMONY?
Yes! After the ceremony we ask you take as many pictures as you want! With Guestpix you can upload photos, videos and even leave us guest book messages! We'll even have a live photo slide show happening in real time! Send your photos on the day or up to 1 month after. Here is the link you can use to upload everything!
Where should we stay?
We will be staying at Dinah's Garden Hotel. Our discount is currently expired but you are still able to get a room if they have any available! We hope you join in on the fun and stay with us over at Dinah's! We have a few extra events planned for those coming in from out of town or those who are local but just want a weekend of fun away from their daily lives!
