Attire & Weather
Dress code: Cocktail / Semi-Formal

Weather: Most relevant during the ceremony
The ceremony takes place outside overlooking the ocean, and is not under cover. The weather will likely be sunny and windy. We recommend bringing a wrap, light jacket, or layer you can easily remove once you’re inside, during the reception.
Shoes: Comfortable
We strongly recommend comfortable shoes, so that you're able to walk around, see fish, and dance the night away :)

Getting There
If you're flying in, San Jose International Airport (SJC) is the closest airport, about a 45-minute drive to Santa Cruz. San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is also an option, roughly 1.5 hours away.
If you're driving from the Bay Area, you probably already know that taking 17 can be a bit of a nightmare. We recommend leaving early and planning for traffic.
