Colorful cocktail! We’d love to see our loved ones in bright colors and fun patterns. Animal print is also appropriate, as we’re getting married at a zoo. If you are planning on wearing heels, we recommend a sturdier block heel or wedge, as the wedding is outdoors. If you’re looking to avoid matching the bridal party, they will be in pink and orange.

Your invitation to the wedding also includes admission to the Safari Park on the day of the event, as well as a parking pass.

We’re getting married at a zoo. It felt cruel to exclude our younger loved ones from attending, so, yes, children are allowed.

Starting at 2:00 PM, there will be a shuttle that picks up near the entrance of the park that will drop you off a short walk from the venue. The pickup location is at Caravan Outpost, next to Park Base. The shuttle will run continuously until 10 minutes before the ceremony starts. If you require additional assistance with getting to the venue, there will be an ADA shuttle that can take you directly there, but we will need to know ahead of time.

We have reserved blocks of rooms at two different hotels: Rancho Bernardo Inn and Courtyard Marriott. Both are less than 20 minutes from the venue. There are also plenty of other nice options in North County!

Please arrive at the Safari Park no later than 2:15 PM, to allow yourself time to park and get to the ceremony site. You are more than welcome to come earlier and enjoy the park during the day.

San Diego International Airport is the best option to fly into for the weekend. It’s about half an hour from the venue.
