Summary and Key Details

This is an outdoor event through the evening in a historic park. Please wear attire that is comfortable and capable of navigating semi-rough terrain. In recent years, the Labor Day weekend has been relatively hot during the day, cooling down to a comfortably warm evening time where jackets are not required.

Expect to arrive by 5:00 PM for ceremony start. The ceremony will take place by the Deer Park train station, and thus you will have the option to board a historic narrow gauge train to reach the ceremony. Please note this will be the only time you will be able to ride the train!

Trains will depart from the station at 4:30 and 5:00 PM. Please arrive 5 min earlier for an on-time departure.

Current Weather Outlook

Weather is an important part of the outdoor wedding experience. Labor day is traditionally very hot. Luckily, our venue is by the Bay which provides much needed cooling. The current outlook shows a very unseasonably chilly day.

Final Details

You will have the opportunity during cocktail hour to explore the farm and see the animals. We have chickens, goats, sheep, and cows. Sometimes we have pigs, idk now. There's also peacocks if you're interested (you know who you are). Please do not feed the animals. They get fed twice daily. Some of them even get walked like a pet, it's craycray.
