Dress Code & Attire

Yes, the ceremony takes place outdoors and runs about 30 minutes. Santa Barbara in late September averages around 75°F, so it's comfortable. Keep that in mind for footwear. The garden has grass and stone paths.
RSVPs & Guests

We kindly ask that this be an adults-only celebration. We appreciate your understanding.
Don't panic. We want you there. Reach out directly to either Levi or Meghan and we'll sort it out.

Gifts
We know we planned this on a tight timeline. No obligation at all, but if you'd like to do something, visit the Registry page and consider donating to one of our charities. That means more to us than anything off a list.
Venue
It won't. But if it does, have a change of clothes ready for the reception, or we'll arrange a car wash air dryer situation. We're getting married rain or shine.
