FAQs
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
Please RSVP as soon as possible, at the latest by May 1, 2024
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Semi-formal. Women: Cocktail dress, floor-length dress, or pantsuits. Men: Suit or blazer with matching dress pants. We recommend a sweater or jacket for the outdoor ceremony, it can get windy by the ocean cliffs! The rest of the reception will be indoors.
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
The ceremony is at 4:45PM so please arrive at the latest by 4:30PM. Because the Seymour Center is open to the public until 4:00PM, our vendors will be setting up for the ceremony between approx 4:00PM-4:30PM. If you arrive early we will have live music and refreshments out front for you to enjoy for pre-wedding mingling!
Question
Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?
Answer
Yes, we will have free shuttles for guests to and from the Seymour Marine Discovery Center and the Courtyard by Marriott in Santa Cruz. If you plan to take the shuttle, please plan to be outside the lobby of the Courtyard Marriott at 3:15pm and look for the white 15 passenger vans. It may take a couple trips to get everyone to the venue, so if you don't see a shuttle immediately upon your arrival, don't fret, one will be back soon to get you. Shuttles will then be available to return you to the hotel on demand starting at 8pm through the remainder of the night. If you would like to take advantage of free transport (and our open bar) we recommend staying at this hotel or somewhere within walking distance! If you are unable to take the shuttle to the venue, we recommend Uber or Lyft. Downtown Santa Cruz to the venue is ~15 minutes and about $20 one way. However, there might be limited Ubers/Lyfts on Sunday night after the wedding and so we recommend taking the free shuttle.
