Question

What's the weather like in May?

Answer

It can range from low 70's to high 80's. Usually sunny and quite beautiful! The reception will be held in a banquet hall, but the ceremony will be outside. Therefore, we will take all prayers for good weather! For all our sweet fair-skinned guests, it's a great idea to up your sunscreen game, you're a lot closer to the sun here.

Question

Is there anything essential I need to have with me for the wedding?

Answer

Yes. If you intend to drink you must have your ID with you. The resort has strict policies about IDing guests before serving them alcohol.

No way! Alia and John decided to skip a first look. The first time they'll see each other on their wedding day is at the ceremony with you!

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotel rooms and reception area?

Answer

Yes, the ceremony and reception hall is a short walk away, but we will have golf-cart shuttles running all night for tired feet should you need to go back to your room or car for any reason.

Question

What if I need special accommodations?

Answer

Please let us know if you have a food allergy and we will be sure to let the hotel staff know. We also will be having a champagne toast, so kindly let know if you would like a mocktail instead. If there is anything else you need, tell us and we'll do our best to make it happen!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Plus ones will be noted on the invitations.

Question

Can I bring my kids?

Answer

We love kids, and we'll have many at the wedding because we have a lot of kids in our family! For children unrelated to our families we've had to make some tough calls based on different factors, so all invited kids will be noted on the mailed invitations. We thank you in advance for your understanding.

Question

What should be left at home?

Answer

Anything you're worried about! From family drama to politics and global warming, It's all gonna be ok!

Question

Anything else I should know?

Answer

We encourage everyone to hydrate before and during travel. Santa Ana Pueblo sits at 5k feet and alcohol consumption hits a little different if you're coming from sea-level. We'll have electrolyte packets at the bar, so please don't hesitate to ask if you need one. That said, enjoy and imbibe to whatever extent feels right for you!
