Our Wedding

We met in Summer of 2022 when we were both living in fabulous Las Vegas! From our first date at La Cave in The Wynn sparks were flying. We had each lived in Taiwan, studied German, and spent a fair amount of our lives traveling having adventures. Jesse couldn't believe such a classy and cultured gal could possibly be living in Vegas. Valeria was surprised that Jesse could speak Chinese and just started writing his second book. The memorable first months of our relationship was spent enjoying meaningful meals &amp; adventurous roadtrips Jesse got an opportunity to join the family business and move to California, which he was pleased to learn had long been a life goal for Valeria. So, we embarked on the next stage of our lives together, making the move to California. Now we love living near San Francisco where we enjoy all the Bay Area has to offer, from wine tasting and fine dining, to beautiful nature and California coastlines We can't wait to have YOU here with us, to share the best of California living on our special day :)

HI San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf Hostel

This is a beautifully appointed hotel in the Presidio that we recommend for the wedding party and family. It is a little on the pricier side, but walking distance to the wedding venue

Lodge at the Presidio

Cavallo Point is situated in a little enclave beneath the Golden Gate Bridge on the Marin side, which is a 10-15 minute drive to The Presidio for wedding activities
