We kindly ask that infants and toddlers are left with a sitter or family member that will not be attending. Children that do not require keen adult supervision are welcome. Considering the events will take place on a boat at sea we hope you can understand this decision.

Encouraged attire includes business casual or formal wear. Examples for men include slacks, khakis, button up shirts, collared shirts, suit & tie/tux, and close toed shoes. Examples for women include slacks, khakis, blazers, blouses, button ups, dresses/skirts, flats, heels. All guests should refrain from stressed clothing, shorts, blue jeans, flannels, t-shirts (a tuxedo t-shirt is still a t-shirt), flip flops, and tennis shoes.

All food will be set up buffet style. The menu is as follows: ***HOURS D' OEUVRES*** Chicken Yakitori Skewers: tender chicken glazed with sweet ginger sauce and green onion / Artichoke Beignet: Quartered heart topped with herbed cream cheese, coated in light batter, then rolled in a mixture of breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese ***ENTREES*** Chicken Marsala: baked dark meat chicken cutlet with sliced mushrooms, garlic, shallots in a gravy marsala wine pan sauce / Mango Salsa Salmon: Oven roasted salmon with a citrus roasted bell pepper beurre blanc topped with fresh mango pico de gallo ***ACCOMPANIMENTS*** Roasted Baby Vegetables Glazed in Garlic Olive Oil: yellow and green squash, green beans, and carrots / Wild Mushroom Risotto: seasoned with sauteed garlic and parmesan cheese ***SALAD*** Butter Lettuce and Juicy Pears: with spiced walnuts and roasted red onion vinaigrette

Although we appreciate the kind and thoughtful sentiment, please do not bring gifts to the event. Instead, please refer to the "registry" tab located at the top of the page, or in the menu tab if viewing the website from a mobile device. Rather than physical gifts we would appreciate any contribution towards lasting memories with our honeymoon fund.

The two airports closest to Alameda are San Francisco (SFO) and Oakland (OAK). However, you will find that it is significantly cheaper to fly into SFO and the commute difference is negligible.

Alameda is a safe area to book lodgings, and it is the location of the wedding venue. However, Alameda is very small, so there isn't much to do or see there if you wish to explore. If you don't mind the drive, you want a wider variety of shopping areas and parks, or you want to be closer to where the Bridal Party will be staying, I recommend booking in Castro Valley. It is a very safe area with lots to do and beautiful sights to see in comparison to the busy crowded areas surrounding Alameda like Oakland and San Francisco.

Brunch is completely optional as we understand that people have flights to catch and lives to get back to. This is simply an option for those wanting to spend more one-on-one time with each other away from the formalities of a crowded wedding reception. There are no expectations for how you dress or what you bring. Just show up with an appetite for food and good conversation.
