Q + A

What date should I RSVP by?

Please RSVP by May 8th so we can provide our vendors with an accurate guest count in advance.

Am I allowed to take pictures or videos during the ceremony?

We will be having an unplugged ceremony meaning all cellphones will be silenced and put away. We have an amazing photographer who will be capturing the ceremony for us but feel free to take all of the pictures and videos you want during the reception!

What time will the reception end?

The reception will end promptly at 10 PM.

Can I bring a plus one?

The venue has a strict guest count limit so only the people listed on your invitation may attend.

Will you be doing a money dance?

Yes! It will be $5 to dance with a member of the couple and $10 to change the song. You can bring cash or use the Venmo link we will provide!

Will there be time between the ceremony and reception?

There will be about half an hour for family pictures between the ceremony and reception where guests can relax, play corn hole, and enjoy some appetizers!

Where should I stay?

If you are coming for the wedding only, we recommend choosing a hotel in Turlock, CA. If you are spending additional time in Modesto, we recommend choosing a hotel or Airbnb in Modesto. Feel free to reach out to us if you would like help choosing a place to stay!

Where will I park for the wedding?

The venue has plenty of parking available but we do recommend carpooling if possible!

What should I know about the venue?

East Lake Ranch is a lovely family owned property modeled to look like the Portuguese Azores with a lake, windmill, and bridge overlooking the water. The ceremony and reception will be outdoors and we are expecting warm weather (but hopefully not too hot!) so plan accordingly. There will be indoor restrooms accessible to guests.

What should I wear?

Ladies, bring out your fun summer dresses (long or short)! See the mood board below if you need ideas. Men can wear a suit or khakis and a button up!
