We appreciate all of our friends and family who wish to be present on our wedding day. Please understand we have limited seating and are only able to accommodate children in our immediate family and bridal party.
Can I RSVP early?
Yes! Due to limited seating, we welcome and encourage guests to RSVP early.
Are there accommodations nearby?
Yes, there are cabins (two-person or four-person occupancy) available on the venue property ($295 + fees/cabin). When RSVPing, please indicate if you plan to stay overnight at the venue property and you will be provided with the link to book your cabin. Please contact Genevieve or Rene for more information.
If you are interested in what the cabins are like, please visit the venue's cabin page here: www.waterfallsantacruz.com/cabins
Where do I park if I am staying overnight at the venue?
Only guests who book a cabin can drive directly to the venue and park onsite. Each cabin has one parking space in front.
Will I need transportation?
If you will not be staying overnight in one of the cabins, your car will need to be parked at the Ss Peter & Paul Antiochian Orthodox Church (9980 Hwy 9, Ben Lomond, CA 95005). There will be shuttles transporting guests from the church and to the venue. The shuttles will transport guest back to their cars at the end of the evening.
Will your wedding be outdoors or indoors?
Our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner reception will all be outdoors. Dancing and live music will be indoors inside the venue's reclaimed 19th century barn.
Do you have a registry?
In lieu of a traditional gift registry, we will be honoring a cherished tradition from Genevieve's heritage by embracing the Chinese wedding custom of receiving red envelopes, known as hongbao in Mandarin and laisee in Cantonese. This meaningful practice symbolizes good luck and prosperity for newlyweds as we embark their journey together as a married couple.
We understand that this custom may be new to some of our guests; therefore, we have established a Honeymoon Fund. Please know that your presence at our celebration is what matters most to us. If you wish to give a gift, we would be sincerely grateful for any contributions towards our honeymoon, either through our Honeymoon Fund online or via a thoughtful card on our wedding day.
