We've Got Answers

WILL THE CEREMONY BE OUTSIDE?

Yes! The ceremony will be held outdoors. We recommend bringing a light jacket, just in case the weather turns cool.

CAN I BRING A GUEST/DATE?

We wish we could celebrate with everyone! Due to limited space, we can only accommodate guests who are specifically named on the invitation. If you’ve received a plus one, it will be noted in the RSVP details included with your invitation.

Thank you so much for understanding, and if you have any questions, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to help!

ARE KIDS ALLOWED?

We adore your little ones! For the wedding ceremony and reception, we kindly ask that anyone under 18 only attend if specifically invited. However, we’d love to see them at the other events throughout the wedding weekend!

Childcare Options
We want all of our guests to enjoy a relaxing and memorable weekend! For those traveling with little ones, the Monarch Beach Hotel partners with Destination Sitters to provide trusted babysitting services.

If you’d like to arrange childcare during your stay, you can reach out to them directly at DestinationSitters.com. Guests are responsible for setting up their own arrangements, and the hotel concierge will be happy to assist with any questions.

We hope this helps make your weekend as seamless as possible!

CAN I TAKE PHOTOS DURING THE CEREMONY?

We kindly ask that you refrain from using cell phones and ensure they are silenced during certain moments of our wedding day, specifically the ceremony, dinner toasts, and speeches from our honored guests. We want everyone to be fully present with us and have hired a professional photography and videography team to capture every moment, which we’ll happily share with you. Designated times and areas will be available for personal photos if you’d like to take some between these special moments. Please remember to turn off the flash and sound on your camera or phone. Thank you for your understanding!

WILL THERE BE VALET PARKING?

Yes! More details to follow
