What happens if I don't RSVP on time?
If we don’t receive your RSVP by May 1, 2025, we will assume you are unable to attend. While we would love to celebrate with you, we need to finalize details with our vendors, including an accurate guest count and names, and unfortunately, we won’t be able to accommodate late responses. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to celebrate together!
Can I take pictures at the ceremony and reception?
We respectfully request that the ceremony be a device-free occasion. Our professional photographers and videographers will be capturing every moment, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the celebration. We look forward to sharing the beautiful photos with you after the event.
You are, however, welcome to take photographs during the reception. We eagerly anticipate the joy and excitement that will fill the evening as we celebrate this memorable occasion together.
Where do we park?
CEREMONY: For the ceremony at the San Fernando Cathedral guests may utilize nearby public parking options. The "Main Street Lot," located at 200 N Main Ave, is one convenient choice, along with various parking garages and lots available along Soledad Street, all within walking distance of the cathedral. We recommend exploring city-operated parking facilities, as they may offer more affordable rates.
RECEPTION: For parking at the reception, you have a few options: you can either pay for valet service at the St. Anthony Hotel, park in the St. Anthony lot on Jefferson Street, or opt for the St. Mary's Parking Garage at 400 N. St. Mary's St. for just $5 (a short 2-minute walk to the venue).
How far is the reception from the ceremony?
The San Fernando Cathedral and the St. Anthony Hotel are just three minutes apart, ensuring a seamless transition between the ceremony and reception for our guests.
