The Reception

After the ceremony on the beach, guests are welcome to head immediately to the La Selva Beach Clubhouse. The drive is approximately 7-10 minutes and parking is available behind the Clubhouse. Drinks will be available immediately upon arrival. Dinner will be served 'buffet style' at approximately 3:00. The menu will consist of authentic Hawaiian food. There will be a buffet dessert table with a variety of treats to choose from after dinner as well as a variety of soda, beer and wine. We have the facility rented until 10:00 pm and plan to celebrate the night away!

(Of course, please refrain from drinking and driving and designate a sober driver or call for a cab in advance.)

The Ceremony Location

The beach we will be getting married on might be a little tricky to find! The access is tucked between two residential homes on Via Palo Alto Road. Once you find parking (there should be plenty of it on the street) take the staircase down to the beach! The ceremony will start around 1:00. We are doing things pretty casually, there will be no seating (only a couple of chairs for any elderly or other people unable to stand for a 1/2 hour or so.) After the ceremony we will be taking pictures on the beach, so guests are welcome to stick around and enjoy the scenery, or head immediately to the La Selva Beach clubhouse to get the party started! The staircase is a little steep. . . going down is easy, but coming back up is a little more rigorous. Also, please note that there are no restrooms at this location.

What to wear?

Since the ceremony will take place on the beach, in the sand and next to the waves it's important not to come too over dressed. Honestly, shoes are optional! Also, since it will be October, make sure to bring something to cover up with in case it's chilly. We may have fog, we may have rain, we may have sun shining skies, it's all up to the weather gods! As for the reception, ladies, feel free to put on heels. . . but no one will care if you're in your flip flops. Paul and I want our wedding to be a casual celebration of love and an excuse for all of our friends and family to come together and have a good 'ol time, so wear whatever you feel comfortable in!
