FAQs
Where are the ceremony and reception taking place?
Please refer to our ceremony and reception details here.
How do I get to the venue?
Our venue is tucked away in the hills of Marin and only accessible through a winding (and beautiful!) drive. Due to this, there are only two ways to get to the venue:
Shuttles: We will be providing a shuttle service to the Pelican Inn from both San Francisco and Mill Valley on the day of. We highly recommend making use of the shuttles due to the aforementioned winding & dark roads, as well as limited cellular service throughout the drive. Plus, we’d love to celebrate with you as long as we can!
Please note that there will be a 15 minute pick up period for the shuttles, so plan accordingly! Shuttles will pick up between 3-3:45pm depending on pick up location and will drop off by 11:15pm.
Driving: You are welcome to drive yourself to & from the Pelican Inn. There is ample parking at the Inn.
Please note ubers & lyft will drop you off at the Inn, but they will not pick up at the end of the night.
What is the timeline for the day?
Please plan to arrive by 4:30pm on November 2nd. We would love for you to enjoy a welcome drink prior to the ceremony that will start at 5pm.
The ceremony will be followed by a cocktail hour, seated dinner, and reception.
What should I wear? Is there a dress code?
Cocktail Attire. Please dress to impress! Suits, formal separates, cocktail dresses, and formal dresses are welcome. We’d love to encourage dark colors, but we’ll be happy to see you in whatever you are comfortable in!
Please note that, weather permitting, our ceremony and cocktail hour will take place outdoors on grass, and we’re hoping you’ll join us on the dance floor late into the night. We recommend wearing or bringing comfortable shoes!
How do I RSVP?
We’ll be updating our website to include a link to RSVP in May.
Please let us know if you can make it by September 14th. We hope to see you there!
Are kids welcome?
Unfortunately, our venue is unsuitable for anyone under 21. We hope this will allow you a much-deserved night off to celebrate with us!
Can I bring a plus one?
We are at capacity with our venue which means we are sadly unable to accommodate additional guests. We look forward to celebrating with you on the day!
Who can I contact with any additional questions?
You can get in touch at cpmmoriarty@gmail.com. We’ll get back to you asap!
