Black Tie Optional. Dark colored formal attire is encouraged. Gentlemen, if you own a tux and never get to use it, here's an excuse! All events are indoors at The Westin
Parking at the hotel is Valet and convenient. However, it is quite pricey if overnight (~$80/night). If you're driving in just for the wedding and not staying, we'd suggest just parking through the hotel valet for ease and convenience. If you are staying at the hotel (or a nearby one) for a night or two, we recommend downloading the SpotHero App on your phone. We use this a lot whenever we're in San Francisco. Many options nearby for much more cost effective parking. Here is a link for SpotHero: https://spothero.com, or simply search for it on your phone. We find the app very efficient and simple.
We have a room block at the Westin with a preferred rate. We and our families are staying there, and look forward to bumping into our guests in the Lobby. There are a number of other hotels around Union Square. The Grand Hyatt San Francisco is a block away and is nice. If you prefer Hilton, the Parc 55 is a short walk and is nice, too.
Fast track to the party! We'll have a quick ceremony, followed by cocktails, then dinner and dancing. Everything will take place in the same building.
