You're more than welcome to arrive at the farm a little early, any time from 3.00pm onwards, to grab a refreshing drink and find your seat under the oak trees while you wait for the ceremony to begin. Please be sure to arrive and get settled before 3.45pm at the latest, as we're planning to start the ceremony promptly at 4pm!

Our ceremony and reception will be held at our farm inside Hoskings Ranch, a private neighborhood. It's about an hour and fifteen minutes' drive from San Diego and about ten minutes from Julian. (Julian is not well covered with Uber or Lyft but you may be able to book ahead of time). If you signed up for the shuttles from Julian Main St, please look out for an email from us a few days before the wedding, with details on pickup and drop off. If you prefer to drive: Once through the gate, head straight on Hoskings Ranch Rd *past* the driveway to the house, past the main barn entrance and follow the signs to the lower gates which will lead you to the wedding parking area! Please drive *very slowly* through the neighborhood on Hoskings Ranch Road.

Yes, we'll have plenty of parking available in a pasture next to the ceremony and reception! This will be signposted from Hoskings Ranch Rd.

The terrain at the farm is bumpy in places and there's a slight hill to walk up to the ceremony site. If you'd like help, we'll have a Kawasaki Mule and driver available to bring you up to the seating. Please let us know ahead of time if you need assistance, so we can make sure your needs are cared for.

Yes, indeed! We'll have an open bar with a selection of soft drinks, a couple of signature cocktails, beer and wine for dinner and some spirits and mixers. We'll also have cold refreshments available to grab before the ceremony.

We'll have a charcuterie table to enjoy with drinks during cocktail hour, followed by an open-air seated dinner for guests to hang out over some good food, a glass of wine and celebrate together! If you have any food allergies, please let us know when you RSVP, so we can make sure we care for your needs.

No! We're sorry, but for safety reasons we won't be able to offer any visits with the animals. So that we can relax and enjoy our special day, we're asking our guests to please stay in the wedding pasture only, and keep out of our animals' corrals, pastures and the barn area. Our house, barn and caretakers' residences will all be off-limits for our wedding day, but we'll have everything we need for our guests up at the wooded cow pasture where we're holding our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception! **Please make sure any children who have been invited understand this safety rule and are supervised at all times. Thank you so much for your help with this.**

May days in Julian are usually beautiful! It could be in the 70's or even 80's during the day but we'll add some weather forecast info as the day gets closer. The air may get chilly after sunset so you might want to bring a jacket or wrap for dinner.

We'll have a small designated smoking area set up with wildfire safety and the comfort of other guests in mind. Please *only* smoke in this spot. Thank you!

We're not creating a formal gift registry and we're asking for no gifts please. We do have a couple of favorite non-profit organizations and if you feel inclined, we'd be very grateful for a donation to either or both. SDMRT San Diego Mountain Rescue Team is the local organization Mark volunteers with each month, providing important rescue resources throughout our county and mutual aid across Southern California. Working Dogs for Conservation is an organization Lucy has supported for several years. They work to protect wildlife and wild places by training rescue dogs to become expert conservation canines, and deploying them across the world to monitor endangered and invasive species and catch poachers before they do harm.
