Question
What should I wear? What's the dress code?

Semi-formal/cocktail. We want you to wear something that's fun and makes you feel fabulous. Colors are highly encouraged. This is a desert festival wedding after all 😜 *Please make sure to keep weather in mind as you choose your clothing. Our venue is both indoor and outdoor. There will be fun activities in both areas. It can get cold at night. A sweater/jacket is recommended, as well as closed-toe shoes.
Question
What's the weather like in Tucson in April?
Answer
April in Tucson is a really beautiful time of year. Note that temperatures in Tucson fluctuate 30-40 degrees in a day. During the day, expect warm (but not hot) temperatures ranging from the low 80s/mid 70's. Remember there is little to no humidity so 80 degrees in Tucson feels less "hot" than 80 degrees in humid areas. At night, expect temperatures to dip as soon as the sun goes down. Temperatures can get as low as in the 40s.
Question
Is the venue indoors or outdoors?
Answer
Both! The venue is a large barn with big doors that open to a grassy field. Doors will be open assuming the weather permits.
Question
Will the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception happen at the same location?
Answer
Yes! Everything is happening at the same place.
Question
What precautions will be taken for COVID?
Answer
Due to the high number of guests and the various medical sensitivities our guests have, we kindly ask that everyone being fully vaccinated (two vaccines). We encourage you to get the booster shots as well. Anyone, regardless of vaccination status, exhibiting any symptoms of illness will be asked to take a COVID test 1) when symptoms arise and 2) the day of the wedding. If you will not adhere to these requests we respectfully ask that you do not attend our wedding or any pre-wedding activities.
Question
Can I bring a guest?
Answer
If your invitation says "and guest", you may bring a guest. However if your invitation does not say this, then we ask that you do not bring any extra people. If there are any issues you may message Nate or Camille to determine if the extra guest can be included (remember, there are limits to what the venue allows).
Question
Are kids invited to the wedding?
Answer
Yes, children are allowed at the wedding and should be listed on your invitation. However, if you'd like a night to yourself, do not feel obligated to bring your kids. We understand some parents want a night off. We respect whatever decision you make 😊
Question
Can I take photos/videos during the wedding? Can I post photos/videos to social media?
Answer
During the ceremony, cellphones will not be allowed. We respectfully ask that you do not take your phone out or take any photos/videos during the ceremony. Cellphones are okay before the ceremony, during cocktail hour, and during the reception - feel free to post pics as you wish at that point (and tag us in them!)
Question
Where do you recommend I stay?
Answer
We do have a room block at the Tucson Hilton East for $149 a night, though space is limited. Even if you can't get a room block, this is a great hotel in terms of amenities and proximity to the wedding. A link to our room block can be found on the 'Travel' section of the website in header. Some people are also choosing to do AirBnB's. This is another great option. We recommend staying in neighborhoods of Central, Catalina Foothills, North East or East. Feel free to reach out to Nate or Camille if you want some help.
Question
What's the best way to get to and from the venue?
Answer
To get to the wedding, we suggest you take an Uber/Lyft/Taxi as parking is extremely limited at the venue. Towards the end of the wedding/reception, shuttle buses will be available to transport guests to the Tucson Hilton East. It will run every 30 minutes (starting around 10:00pm) with the last shuttle leaving around midnight. You are more than welcome to park your vehicle at the Tucson Hilton East and take an Uber/Lyft to the venue from there. That way, once the wedding is over, you can simply take the shuttle bus back to the Hilton and get home from there. This will be much cheaper than Ubering/Lyfting the whole way as the venue is pretty far in the outskirts of town. Also - please do not drink and drive. We love you and want you to make it home safely ❤
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
Yes! We got you!
