We truly adore your little ones, we really do! We'd love for the younger crowd to be a part of our special moment at the ceremony at St Monica's! But, just a heads-up, the reception venue has a rule of no kiddos under 10 years old. We're looking forward to sharing our special day with you!
For those driving to the ceremony, parking is available:
Underground Parking Structure: look for signage to enter via Washington Ave. entrance or the California Ave. entrance
There is also metered and free parking on the street. Observe street signs as the Santa Monica Police Department does ticket regularly. We ask that guests do not park in any other lots unless directed to do so or block any driveways.
For those driving to the reception:
We're pleased to offer complimentary valet parking. Enjoy the convenience and peace of mind it brings. Additionally, for our guests staying at The Shay Hotel, rest easy knowing we've secured transportation for you from the reception back to the hotel after the celebration. For further information on these arrangements, please check our Travel page. We're committed to ensuring your comfort every step of the way!
If your invitation includes 'and Guest,' please feel free to bring someone along. However, if it doesn't, we kindly ask that you join us solo to help us manage our intimate gathering.
Get ready to dazzle! Our wedding day is a chance to put on your finest and celebrate in style. We'll be all dressed up and can't wait to see you looking fabulous. Comfort is key, though – so if those high heels feel like skyscrapers or that tie feels like a noose, feel free to adjust for ease. We're aiming for a happy medium between formal elegance and relaxed chic. Can't wait to see you all looking sharp!
Just a gentle reminder: If you are attending our ceremony it will be held in a church, so we kindly ask for attire that respects this setting.
The ceremony will be held indoors at St. Monica church. The reception will be held at an indoor/outdoor venue.
Let's be real: even in sunny LA, Annie is the first to grab a sweater! So, take a page out of her book and consider bringing a jacket, cardigan, or wrap. It's always better to be prepared than shivering – 'Annie-style' – under the stars!
The church requests no flash photography and that guests remain seated during the ceremony.
If you have any other questions other than what we’ve listed here, please reach out to Annie or Lee!
