We kindly request black tie attire. Gentlemen, please wear a tuxedo or a dark suit with a dark tie. Ladies, an evening gown or long dress is perfect. We look forward to seeing everyone in their finest attire!

For guests who will be flying in, we suggest John Wayne Airport (SNA), which is about fifteen minutes from the venue. Other options include Long Beach Airport (LGB), which is about forty minutes from the venue, or Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), which is about one hour from the venue.

We will have a shuttle taking guests from the ceremony to the reception. If you prefer to drive yourself, the Ceremony venue (Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church) has plenty of parking and we will have complimentary valet available at the Reception venue (Newport Harbor Yacht Club) for all wedding guests.

While our preferred hotels unfortunately did not have a room block available during our wedding weekend, please reach out to Addie Bell abell@smartflyer.com for a preferred rate and upgraded perks.

Please see our registry tab for our registries through Bloomingdales, William Sonoma and The Knot. We are also registered at The Ivy House: https://www.theivyhouse.com/registry.cfm/49897/Nelson_Allred/July-12-2025

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one, they will appear next to your name on the invitation. Thank you for your understanding!
