FAQs

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

We have two shuttles that will be transporting guests to and from the venue. As the Santa Ynez Valley has a few towns and guests are spread out we will have two pick up and drop off points. The shuttles will be picking up from each location at 2pm & 3pm. At the end of the night there will be shuttles leaving the venue at 9:30pm & 10:30pm. Location One: Mattei's Tavern - 2350 Railway Avenue, Los Olivos, CA 93441. Location Two: Solvang Public Parking Lot - 1556 Mission Drive, Solvang, CA 93463.

Question

What is the weather like?

Answer

Right now the forecast looks like it will be about 85 degrees and sunny for the day of the wedding. Don't forget to wear sunblock! In the evenings, it drops down to around 55 degrees, so it could be helpful to bring something to keep yourself warm in the evening. Another option for staying warm: breaking it down on the dance floor!

Question

Can I smoke on the property?

Answer

California has a strained history with wildfires and we would like to do our best to keep the land safe. The only smoking allowed on the property is in the designated cigar area by the barn. Otherwise smoking is strictly prohibited on the land.

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

Heck yes! Although please keep in mind it may be a late evening for everyone, so there are also great babysitting options in the area, like The Little Guest (https://www.thelittleguest.com/). Please be aware there is a large pond right next to the reception area, so little ones should be supervised at all times.

Question

What if I have dietary restrictions?

Answer

Not a problem! We're having a buffet dinner, so please reach out to us in advance and we will make sure you have something delicious on your plate that fits your needs. You can email us at sarahryan481@gmail.com.
