Our Registry
gifts are greatly appreciated but not expected
When should we arrive?
We recommend arriving at the Christian Science Church parking lot by 3:00 PM to allow time for shuttles and seating. The ceremony will begin at 4:00 PM.
Do I need to choose my dinner in advance?
No need! Dinner will be served family-style, so you’ll have the chance to try a bit of everything.
What is the dress code?
Cocktail attire. We encourage guests to wear color! Suits, jumpsuits, midi to floor length dresses - kindly avoid denim.
When does the wedding end?
While you're free to leave whenever you like, the party will conclude at 10:30 PM, and all guests must leave the venue at that time. Shuttles will transport guests back to the parking lot, where all vehicles must be removed by 11:00 PM.
Are ceremony and reception at the same place? Will it be outdoors?
Yes—both will take place at the same location and will be held outdoors. It may get chilly in the evening, so we recommend bringing a layer. The ceremony will be on grass, so please plan your footwear accordingly.
Can I bring a plus one?
Due to the venue's capacity restriction, only guests listed on your invitation are included.
Where should we park?
We have arranged parking for guests at the Christian Science Church parking lot (28635 PCH, Malibu, CA 902650). Shuttles will be available to transport you to the venue and back at the end of the evening.
Please note there is no guest parking available at the venue.
Is transportation provided?
Yes. All guests must take the provided transportation to the venue.
Shuttles will depart from the Christian Science Church parking lot (address above).
I'm taking an Uber, do I still need to get dropped off at the guest parking lot?
Unfortunately, yes. Rideshares and taxis are not permitted to access the venue directly.
