Frequently asked questions
Here are some FAQs. If these do not cover your questions, please feel free to reach out to Jacob or Athena directly.
Where's the venue?
Our celebration will take place at Elliston Vineyards in Sunol, a beautiful historic estate with both indoor and outdoor spaces.
There will be no formal seating, allowing our guests to mingle and relax throughout the evening. Food will be served cocktail-style, so feel free to explore and enjoy the atmosphere at your leisure.
Will there be a ceremony at the reception?
Jacob and Athena will already be married by the time this party rolls around. They will be making it official at the courthouse in early March and also having a small ceremony out of town. This reception is their way of making sure everyone gets to celebrate, dance and be part of the fun with them.
Is there parking available at the venue?
Free parking available on-site. If you need wheelchair or assistance up stairs please contact us prior to event to accommodate you.
What is the dress code?
We’d love for everyone to dress to impress in semi-formal or cocktail attire. Think dresses, dressy separates, and button-up shirts. There’s no need for ball gowns or tuxedos. We kindly ask that guests refrain from wearing jeans or streetwear.
Please note that the venue is partially outdoors, so we recommend dressing warmly or bringing a jacket for the evening.
What’s the weather like in March in Sunol?
March brings mild spring days, but evenings can be quite chilly. We recommend bringing a jacket or light coat so you stay comfortable once the sun goes down.
Are children invited?
While children are welcome, we highly encourage guests to consider childcare if possible in order to fully enjoy the evening.
We will do our best to accommodate any children in attendance.
If your children are in attendance we kindly ask for you to ensure they are supervised at all times for their safety.
Can I bring a +1?
Due to space and planning, we are only able to accommodate guests who are specifically listed on the invitation. We truly appreciate your understanding as we keep this celebration intentional and intimate.
Will there be food and drinks?
Absolutely. There will be dinner and drinks provided so you can relax, enjoy the evening, and celebrate alongside Jacob and Athena.
