When & Where

We're getting married November 9th in Los Alamos, CA at the Union 1880 Hotel. Be sure to check your invitation when it arrives in the mail and don't forget to RSVP!

Union 1880 Hotel & Saloon

We're getting hitched at the Union 1880 Hotel in Los Alamos, CA! This historic hotel is Wild West Chic and we cannot wait for you all to see it.

Directions to Los Alamos

Los Alamos, California is a town north of both Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. If you've ever been to Los Olivos or Solvang, you've been in the neighborhood! Santa Barbara has a world class airport if you are flying in from out of town, or you can choose to come into one of the LA area airports. If driving to Los Alamos from LA or Santa Barbara, consider IGNORING the directions your favorite map program will suggest and STAY ON THE 101. Otherwise it puts you on CA154, a beautiful, winding 1-lane mountain road that absolutely does not save you any time. In fact we've timed it! If you get behind the wrong truck, you're going to have a bad time. The 101 also gets quite beautiful so you don't even really lose out on any vistas. Of course, the choice is yours!

Dress Code

Yes! There is indeed a dress code, as many of you could imagine! We've always wanted the theme and style of our wedding to be "elevated cowboy" so please do your best to adhere! You can always send what you are thinking about wearing to Catrena for tips and insight! Think - Black tie but cactii! Upscale on a haybail! Ballgown at a hoedown!

Dress Code Inspiration

Need some inspiration on what to wear? This mood board will send you off on the right trail. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to either Catrena or Anthony! Our location is going to be very cool and we want you all to dress like you belong there! So use these images to help build your outfits!
