No.

It will be very hot so please plan accordingly. But we do have a few rules: Rule 1. Do not wear all white outfits (whether it's an all white dress or all white suit). Rule 2. Please adhere to the cocktail code: suit and tie, midi/maxi dresses, etc. The bride will cry if someone wears jeans. Rule 3. Do: dancing shoes.

It will be hot (think 80-90 degrees)! So please dress accordingly, but know that the ceremony and reception will take place indoors. The cocktail hour will take place in the courtyard outside.

Yes, and it's free and exclusive to our guests! You can park at 402 Atlantic Ave., Long Beach, CA 90802 where there is a parking lot that is a 1 to 2 minute walk from the main Sanctuary entry gate. If you have trouble walking, you may be dropped of at the main gate in the loading/unloading zone. Security will be present at the parking lot at all times during our wedding, but please note that the venue is not liable for any damages or lost vehicles.

Please arrive between 4:15pm and 4:45pm. The ceremony will begin promptly at 5pm.

You can take photos during the ceremony and post them on social media, but please don't go or lean into the aisle, or step in front of the photographers and videographers.

There will be a cocktail hour with an open bar and passed hors d'oeuvres in the courtyard.

Dinner will consist of chicken and beef, as well as salads and sides, but there will be a vegetarian option. Please let Jo-Ellen know in advance if you need vegan and/or gluten-free options, but this is not guaranteed.

The reception will end sharply at 10pm because the surrounding area's noise ordinance prohibits loud music past 10pm.

We kindly request no gifts for our wedding, but if you wish to help us celebrate, a contribution to our first house fund would be very welcome. We will have a Card Box onsite at the venue. Contributions can also be made via Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/JoEllenAragon
