Question

WHERE DO WE PARK?

Answer

The Nixon Library does not allow overnight parking because it is Federal property. if you plan on not driving home after the celebration, we recommend leaving your car overnight at Mariners Church on the TOP of the parking structure ONLY and sharing an Uber/Lyft to the reception, or parking by The Nixon Library on the nearby streets Park Place and Park Avenue. Cars will be towed at Mariners due to the Saturday Farmer's Market if cars are not parked on the top level of the parking structure.

Question

WHY THE NIXON LIBRARY?

Answer

The Library was chosen by Gabriella and Easton due to its colorful rose garden, large ballroom that is a replica of The White House’s beautiful East Room, and the special ambiance where the bride and groom want to celebrate their love with you all. Also, (fun facts) the Nixon's were married at the Mission Inn in Riverside, and Pat went to USC! As the Library is federal property, each guest will go through security prior to entering the reception so please do not bring: firearms, pepper spray, weapons, or alcohol (it's open bar so no need to worry). Feel free to reach out with any questions or refer to The Nixon Library website.

Question

IS IT OPEN BAR?

Answer

YES! No need to fret, the reception will absolutely be open bar. Please do not bring alcohol/flasks to the wedding as security will take it.

Question

DO I GET A PLUS ONE? & WHAT ABOUT MY CHILDREN?

Answer

We kindly ask you to not bring your kids or a guest that has not been listed on your invitation. We wish that every person could join the celebration, but the Bride and Groom have to limit the number of attendees due to space and costs. Children over the age of 13 have been included in the guest count. Thank you for your understanding.
