Itinerary

Despite growing up just a few miles apart and both ending up in the same college town—San Luis Obispo—it wasn’t until they moved back to their hometown that their paths finally crossed. In September 2022, thanks to the wonders of modern dating (shoutout to Hinge), they connected. After messaging for a week, they had their first date at Moo Creamery, bonding over delicious sliders and margaritas. From that point on, they were inseparable—talking every day, going on weekly dates, and, just a few short weeks later, making things official. Their adventures only grew from there, from fun dates to camping trips, and before long, they moved in together.Soon after, they became proud Cat Parents to “the boys”—Roy &amp; Darren. Fast forward to a fun (and very crowded) 4th of July weekend in Pismo. After the trip, once they were back home and settled, Brady proposed to Taylor in the most perfect way—right in their kitchen, with Roy &amp; Darren as their "kitnesses." And the rest, as they say, is history. Now, the adventures are just getting started!

Wedding Party

Jump on the Westside Parkway &amp; you'd be at the wedding in 5 minutes!

Home2 Suites by Hilton Bakersfield

Hyatt Place Bakersfield

15-17 mins from the wedding, Straight shot if you use the Westside Parkway.The Padre is a well known place in Bakersfield. Cute hotel, great bar &amp; food. They even have a 2nd floor patio with a separate bar but same yummy food. Located downtown

The Padre Hotel

Travel

Great Patio! Cant go wrong with any of the burgers or sliders! All of the drinks are delicious, we love the cucumber jalepeno margarita &amp; the spiked basil lemonade. &amp; not only do they have beer flights but ice cream flights, too! They have lots of fun ice cream flavors and desserts!

Moo Creamery

A local favorite if you're craving fresh Southern Italian Cooking!This was Taylors favorite restaurant growing up.Try "Chicken Thingies" (Brady's favorite) and an appetizer &amp; Theresa's Favorite Tortellini as an entry.

Frugatti's

Cute coffee &amp; breakfast spot.If you like chai lattes, fresh coffee, or matcha teas, this is your place!They do have lunch, dinner, and cocktails as well.They also have a lot of vegetarian options for food, so if youre a meat eater like Brady, this aint the place (food wise). There is also another location downtown, but theres no cocktails at that location.

Smitten

A Bakersfield staple! The Truffle Sacchetti is our absolute favorite but everything is delicious from their red or white pasta to their Parma Prosciutto Sandwich. Brady recommends the Pickled Tongue &amp; the New York Steak, paired with the Truffle Sachetti, of course.For drinks, gotta try the Moscow Mule or the Aperol Spritz Keep in mind, this is an all day event kinda place and will be PACKED on the weekends, but its worth it with a fun group!
