FAQs
Question
What is the attire?
Answer
Formal Attire Please. (Not "Black Tie") For Women: Long evening gowns or formal cocktail dresses. (I would wear a wedge or a block heel seeing as the ceremony and cocktail hour are outside on grass). For Men: A suit or tuxedo, often accompanied by a dress shirt and tie or bow tie. Dress shoes are essential. Colors to avoid: White Please if possible avoid wearing emerald as those are the Grooms and bridesmaid colors. Thank you!
Question
How should I arrange transportation?
Answer
Be prepared to rent a car, use Ride Share's, or carpool from the hotel to the venue (and or the after party) and back to your accommodations. As of right now we don't have a shuttle or transportation arranged for guests set up.
Question
Will there be a cash bar or open bar?
Answer
Drinks are on us! There will be an open bar but please feel free to bring cash to tip the bartenders.
Question
What if I have an allergy and I'm not sure what is in the food?
Answer
Tell Austin or Vanessa about the allergy. We will let the kitchen/caterer know. We are doing plated dinners so that there will be no risk of any cross-contamination on your dinner plate or in the kitchen. We love our people and know some of you have severe allergies.
Question
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
Answer
No. As much as we would love for you to be able to take pictures and videos at the ceremony, there will be a "no phones policy". We promise our amazing photographers and videographers will get all the pictures and videos we need! The ceremony is fast and you can go right back to taking your pictures and videos after!
Question
Will there be parking?
Answer
Yes! Tons of free parking at the venue.
Question
What will the weather be like?
Answer
Although we can't predict the weather, The Santa Monica Mountains (Agoura, Malibu) tends to be in the mid to high 70s in July during the day with it cooling off in the evening. We definitely recommend checking the weather beforehand.
