After nearly seven years together, we’re tying the knot with a small ceremony on Friday, September 12, 2025, in San Francisco. That evening (and the day after!), we’re celebrating in a way that feels most like us: full-hearted, low-pretense, and deeply communal. We hope you'll come ready to sing, eat, dance, and maybe even meet someone new. We want this to feel like one big party full of warmth, good vibes, and chosen connections.
We’re getting married!
Below you’ll find everything you need: RSVP form, weekend schedule, maps, local recs, and more. We can’t wait to celebrate with you.
We’d love to know if you’ll be joining us for the wedding party, the picnic, or both.
Whether you’re singing your heart out, bringing the best snack to share, or just showing up as your beautiful self, we’re vv happy you’ll be joining us to celebrate.
Please RSVP by Friday, August 1 using the form below.

FAQs
Can I bring a plus-one or kids?
Please RSVP only for the number of people we’ve talked to you about directly. We have limited space and need to keep track of the headcount for both Friday and Saturday.
That said: everyone is welcome at both the party and picnic! Just make sure to include kids and guests in your RSVP so we can plan accordingly.
Do I need to bring anything for the picnic?
Yes! For Saturday at the park, plan to bring:
A blanket or low chair for each person
Sunscreen and layers (Karl the Fog has a mind of his own)
Snacks and drinks for yourself, be ready to share if you’d like
Lawn games, cards, or anything that makes a picnic more fun
Beer and wine are allowed in the park.
Where should I stay?
We’ve marked suggested Airbnb zones and two hotel options in Downtown Oakland on our weekend map. Oakland and Alameda are both great home bases for the weekend.
What’s the parking situation?
Each event listing on the Weekend Schedule includes nearby parking info.
BIGGEST THING: Don't leave any valuables or luggage in your car. Ever. While car break-ins have gone down considerably in the Bay within the last year or two, we don't want a wonderful weekend to be tarnished by all your stuff getting sold on Craigslist.
What if I don’t know anyone?
Totally fine, a lot of folks won’t. We’re blending circles, and everyone’s arriving from all over. Come open and curious. We’re creating the kind of energy where strangers leave as friends.
Are you registered anywhere?
Nope, no gifts, please.
We’ve cleared out our storage units and are trying to live lighter these days. That said, we are taking a honeymoon to Japan in October.
If you feel moved to help us get there (or eat ramen while we’re there), we’d love that but truly, there’s no pressure at all.
Still have questions? Just shoot us a text or call, we got you.
We can't wait to party with you.
Thanks for being part of our lives and this moment. We feel so lucky to be surrounded by the people who’ve shaped us, supported us, made us laugh, and showed up over the years.
Come ready to celebrate, your full self is exactly what we want.
Big love,
Gia + Jordan
