Q + A

Are we allowed to bring children?

Absolutely! We welcome children to join in our celebration. In fact, with the Fourth of July festivities happening at the resort, it's a perfect family weekend. We encourage everyone to book a room and fully immerse in the holiday spirit. Plus, for added convenience, we're providing on-site child care services so parents can enjoy some moments to themselves. It's a win-win for the whole family!

What time should I arrive to the ceremony?

Our ceremony is set to begin promptly at 4:00 PM. However, considering the likely max capacity at the resort during the Fourth of July weekend, we strongly encourage guests not staying at the resort to carpool and arrive early. Please note, the hotel charges a parking fee. An early arrival will help ensure a smooth entry and a great start to the celebration!

What is the dress code?

The dress code for our wedding is formal. We kindly encourage ladies to grace the occasion in floor-length dresses and gentlemen to don suits if available to them. We're aiming for an elegant atmosphere, and your attire will greatly contribute to the special ambiance of the day.

Will the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception take place indoors or outdoors?

Our ceremony will be held outdoors, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the San Diego Bay. It promises a picturesque and memorable setting. Following the ceremony, both the cocktail hour and reception will transition indoors, where we'll continue our celebrations in elegant comfort.

What will the weather be like?
