Invitations will go out between January 1st and January 15th.

We will be sending invitations out with mailable RSVP cards. However we will take both online RSVP's and physical mail. We've asked for a soft RSVP for now to best get ahead of head count, so if you've RSVP'd already please be sure to change your RSVP status if it has changed by the time you receive your official invitation.

We are asking all invited guests submit their RSVP no later than May 1st 2024.

It will be summer. But there is a difference between summer in Northern California and the rest of the country. However, summer in Tomales Bay tends to be warm during the day (low 70's / upper 60's) and cool in the evenings (mid-50's / low 60's). Fog is not common for Tomales Bay during the summer season. Rain is also not common for Tomales Bay during July. Summers have been on the warmer side in July in Tomales Bay. We anticipate the same in 2024.

Invitations will be addressed with the names of the individuals that are invited to the wedding. If you receive an invitation with only your name on it that means the invitation is specific to you. Please contact Michael and Taylor for any further questions regarding this topic.

We are wanting / hoping that all friends and family will make the long weekend a vacation for themselves. If you are a family with children that are wanting to bring the kids along for the vacation please feel free to bring them. All events surround the wedding are kid friendly (with the exception of Friday night at the Old West Saloon). The wedding day itself is essentially adults only with an age restriction of 13. There will likely be about four to six 13-16 year olds in attendance to the wedding. Should you bring your children on the trip along with you, on the day of the wedding we will identify all the families with children and dedicate a nearby Airbnb as the 'babysitting homebase' where all kids can be dropped off and we'll help facilitate childcare that can be split in cost amongst the parents. Otherwise, feel free to leave the kids at home and make the trip kid free for you and your significant other.

The food served will be all locally sourced and cooked on site. It will also be seasonal to summer.

Yes - this information can be requested when you RSVP for the wedding after receiving your official invitation.

We've agreed to not do a registry. We are grateful for everyone who is making the effort to come spend the long weekend with us and participating in the weekends events. I'm sure some may feel compelled to offer gifts which we'll also be grateful for.

Arrival time should be between 3pm and 3:45pm. Ceremony start is at 4pm.

The wedding reception will end at 11pm per our agreement with the venue. There will be a select group that are allowed to remain on property to celebrate with the grooms after 11pm until 1:30am. The property only allows a limited number of people to remain after 11pm. Those individuals will be directly contacted by Michael and Taylor.

Please see the the 'things to do' section of our website.

There is a weekend of events to attend starting from Thursday evening (07/25) through Sunday evening (07/28). We hope that everyone can make as many events as possible. But please feel empowered to make the weekend yours. For the Thursday and Friday event's we will be requesting donations to help fund the those events. Information and instructions for that will be released in the months to come.

We live in an age of constant connection and capturing every moment. We will have both photography and videography on site during the ceremony which we intend to share with all guests after the wedding. We empower all guests to please be present and enjoy the moment of the CEREMONY along with us. We'd love to not see a lot of phones raised in the air while our photographer is shooting the ceremony. If you feel compelled to to capture the moment on your phone. Please keep it as minimal and discreet as possible.

Yes of course.

When wedding and website updates are available we will have notifications sent to all guests via email, or text message, instructing guests what the updates are and to please check the website for updates.

We are working on a live stream of some kind for the ceremony in the event there are family members who cannot make the event.
