RSVP

  • To help us with our planning, please RSVP to the events as soon as possible. The deadline is Oct 31, 2025.

    If we don't receive your RSVP by this date, we cannot make exceptions and will mark you as 'no'. We need to provide the venue and vendors with a total guest count in a timely manner, we hope you understand.

  • Due to limited space, we can only accommodate guests who are formally invited. If you've received a plus one, they'll be specifically addressed by name or you'll have an extra slot in the questionnaire. Thank you for understanding <3

  • If they are listed in the invite, or you are counting them as part of your party. E.g. Your digital invitation or RSVP gives you 4 total slots: it can be yourself, a partner, and 2 extras. Those extras can be children.

  • Please check the “RSVP” button at the top of the page. It’ll link you to a digital site to input your status and dietary restrictions.

    If it’s too difficult to complete online, please reach out to ourselves or our parents and let us know.

  • When completing the digital RSVP, please let us know who in your party has which types of restrictions. We will accommodate those guest meals accordingly and plan for a variety of hors d’oeuvres as well.

    IT’S IMPORTANT TO LET US KNOW IN THE RSVP. We cannot plan and provide for you if we don’t know ahead of time.

    • Ceremony starts promptly around 3:15 - 3:30 pm. PLEASE do not be late, the same doors to enter the venue will be the same doors the bride walks in. Let’s not make it awkward and both walk in at the same time.

    DO NOT BE LATE. The doors to the venue are the same doors to walk down the aisle. Let’s not make it awkward and walk down together with the bride. You’ll have to wait outside and away from the doors if you’re late.

  • We’ll be serving hors d’oeurvres at cocktail hour, followed by a sit-down dinner. The dinner is a plated duet meal, 2 types of protein will be served on the same plate alongside vegetables. Instead of providing guests with a choice of either protein selection, we’ll serve both.

    Guests with food restrictions or allergies will be accommodated AS LONG AS YOU NOTIFY US THROUGH THE DIGITAL RSVP. It’s important to let us know ahead of time, so we can plan ahead. But we can’t prepare if we don’t know.

Dress code

  • Cocktail Attire. Get fancy with us! Your snazziest suit, formal separates, dressy jumpsuits, cocktail dresses, and floor-length dresses are all welcome. Please no jeans or t-shirts or sneakers. Tuxes are not necessary but welcome if you want.

    You'll spend the majority of the time indoors, except for cocktail hour. There will be heat lamps available and in the event of rain, everything will be indoors. All walkways will be paved

  • DO NOT WEAR WHITE.

    Other than that, feel free to wear any color that makes you feel good.

  • In December, the average temperatures can range from 46° - 65°. The weather can be unpredictable this early on. Check more closely 1-2 weeks before the wedding.

    The ceremony and reception will be held indoors. The cocktail hour will be held outside as the sun will be shining (hopefully). Heat lamps may be provided, but please make sure to dress appropriately. If there is rain, we will move cocktail hour indoors.

Directions, Transportation, Hotels

  • Once you’ve reached the gates of Dove Canyon, pick the lane with the “Wedgewood wedding” sign. If you can’t find it, please go to a lane where you can speak with the gate guards. Let them know you’re here for a “Wedgewood wedding for Dove Canyon”, and they should let you go through.

  • We don’t have any hotel blocks. However, the Ayres Suites Mission Viejo - Lake Forest for a 15% discount for the Deluxe King or Two Queen room (single-double occupancy). To get the discount

    Please note: we have never stayed here. So, do your research on before booking. Dove Canyon is a bit tucked away and far out from Orange County activities. If your preference is to be closer to the wedding, then this is a good location. If you have plans for weekend activities, booking closer to the heart of Orange County is your best bet.

  • There is a large parking with plenty of spaces for wedding guests right outside the venue.

    If you’ve partied too hard and drank too much, you can also leave your car overnight in the lot and come back in the morning.

  • No. Since we won’t be handling hotel blocks or accommodations for guests, we cannot coordinate shuttle services.
