WHAT WILL THE WEATHER BE LIKE?
Fairly warm! The average high at our venue in July is about 84 degrees. The temperature will be at least 10/15 degrees cooler than the valley below. There will be parasols and paddle fans to keep you shaded during the ceremony.
IS THERE A DRESS CODE?
We'd love to see our family and friends dress up with us! We are requesting semi-formal for our evening.
DO YOU HAVE A HOTEL RECOMMENDATION?
Morongo Casino Resort and Spa! We'll be staying there Wednesday-Friday! We were unfortunately unable to reserve block rooms for guests, so we recommend reserving your room(s) as soon as possible. Please Note: The hotel does not guarantee early check-in. Normal check-in is at 4pm. Please plan accordingly.
WILL THERE BE TRANSPORTATION AVAILABLE TO/FROM THE VENUE?
For those staying at the Morongo Casino Resort and Spa, transportation will be provided. Shuttles will arrive at approximately 3pm.
WHERE WILL THE SHUTTLE PICK US UP AT?
Shuttles will arrive at approximately 3pm at the main entrance (where valet is) right next to the hotel front desk.
HOW MUCH TIME SHOULD I ALLOCATE IF I'M DRIVING UP THE DAY-OF THE WEDDING?
Depending on location, it can take anywhere from 2 - 3 1/2 hours to get to the venue, so please plan accordingly and keep a close eye on traffic times throughout the day.
WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE?
We recommend that you arrive at 4pm for the social hour + cocktails before the start of the ceremony to make sure everyone is on time. Seating will begin at 4:45pm, and the ceremony will start at 5pm. Guests who arrive late will not be able to sit in the seating area.
HOW DO I GET TO THE VENUE?
From the Eastbound 10 freeway, exit on Cherry Valley Blvd., turn left (go over the freeway), westbound go right. When you reach Beaumont Ave, turn left. Beaumont Avenue will turn into Oak glen Road and the road will begin to become a little curvy. Once you PASS Wildwood Canyon on your left you have exactly one more mile to go. Look for a yellow 40mph sign, and the driveway is immediately after the sign on the right.
WILL THERE BE PARKING AVAILABLE AT THE VENUE?
Yes! When you pull into the gated driveway you can park to the right. Guests are welcome to leave their vehicles overnight, but are asked to return no later than 11am the next morning.
CAN I BRING A DATE?
Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP.
ARE KIDS WELCOME?
As much as we love your little ones, this will be an adults-only celebration. We hope this advance notice means you’re able to let your hair down and celebrate with us on the day!
CAN I TAKE PHOTOS DURING THE CEREMONY?
We are having an "unplugged" ceremony (no phones or cameras). The greatest gift you can give us is to be fully present as we say our I do's. We have hired professionals to capture this moment for us, so please allow them to do their best work. After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos and videos as you like!
WILL THERE BE AN OPEN BAR?
Yes! The drinks are on us, and the hangover is on you, so get ready to celebrate!
