What To Bring

Most of the events are outdoors and informal; you'll want to be wearing clothes that are comfortable and that you don't mind getting dirty. The weather in September is usually quite nice, but it could range from 60 and foggy to 80 and sunny during the day, and it will probably drop into the 40s at night. Layers serve you well in Northern California!

What to Wear to the Ceremony:

The wedding ceremony will be held in a shady redwood grove with rough wooden benches; wear something you don't mind getting splinters in--something like shorts, jeans, comfy slacks or a causal skirt. The amphitheater is on a steep hillside without stairs; wear shoes you could use on a trail.
