Can I bring a plus one?
We are excited to share our special day with our nearest and dearest and are hoping to keep the guest list limited to those named on the invitation. If a plus one has been given to you it will be indicated on your invitation. Additionally, we will only be allowing children from immediate family members to attend. Thank you for understanding!
Will I need to RSVP?
YES! An RSVP is required for everyone who plans to attend. If we do not hear from you by the RSVP deadline, we will unfortunately have to mark you as “Not Attending."
Additionally, your RSVP will help us ensure we are able to accomodate any allergies or dietary restrictions you may have.
When is the RSVP deadline?
All RSVPs MUST be received by Wednesday, July 31st. If we do not hear from you by then we will unfortunately have to mark you as “Not Attending.”
Can I take pictures?
Absolutely! HOWEVER, we have two simple requests: first, please keep your phones down at ALL TIMES during the ceremony. You may begin taking photos as soon as cocktail hour begins. Second, we ask that you please be cognizant of the photographers and videographer. While you are able to take as many photos as you'd like after the ceremony, please be sure you're not blocking a shot. Both of these requests are to ensure we get the best professional media possible.
What accomodations are nearby?
There are plenty of big brand hotels within walking distance of the venue in downtown Long Beach! In addition, there is a cluster of the same chain hotels near the Long Beach airport, which is about a 15 minutes drive from the venue. Please reference the "Travel" page for more information.

What is the dress code? Are there any colors I should avoid?
We’d love to see our friends and family get dressed up with us for the big day! The dress code is cocktail attire.
We ask that you not wear colors traditionally reserved for the bride: white, cream, ivory -- and to avoid these colors in patterned garments as well.
Are children allowed to attend?
Although we love every single little one in the family, we ask that this be an adults-only affair. Please, no attendees under 18.
What is the timeline for the wedding day? Will there be an after-party?
Please check out our home page to see a general timeline of events for the day. Our formal reception is scheduled to end at 11:30pm. Afterwards, we plan to meet at the bar attached to the venue for an after party. Maybe even a bar hop or two!
Where should we bring/send our wedding gift?
You traveling to celebrate our wedding with us is the best gift we could ask for! However, if you wish to honor us with a gift, there will be a card box at the reception. Alternately, you can view our Honeyfund link under the "Registry" tab!
What will the weather be like?
Long Beach's weather in October is typically anywhere between 58-79 degrees. The wedding will be entirely indoors due to the slight unpredictability. Please just keep this weather in mind for your entire trip! LA area tends to be a tad warmer, but similar.
