Q + A
What is the attire?
"Shades of Blue" for all... Dress up and look great!
The groomsmen will wear blue jeans with a white shirt, blue-toned sport-coat or blue tuxedo (Steve), and boots. We want everyone to look nice and be comfortable. Jeans with boots and a nice shirt or jacket is a cool option for men. Fashionable, dressy but not formal attire. Informal but polished like you would wear to a nice dinner. Be comfortable, look nice, and be ready for fun.
The bridal party will be in beautiful 'shades of blue' dresses.
** Where do we park, and how to join a carpool?
** IMPORTANT ** ARRIVE BY 1:40 pm LATEST **
SUGGESTED ARRIVAL TIME is 1:15-1:30. Allow time for gate, parking, walking to venue and seating. Option to park at the "single-driver" parking lot directly across from the entrance to the Paseo Development on Penzance Blvd. There will be signs to venue. Tell the guard "Hilfiker Wedding" then PARK AT TENNIS COURTS first. Use the pool lot if it is full. Once inside the gate, turn left, then first right on Paseo Grande Blvd. Go north and you will see the tennis and pool parking lots. Take sidewalks that lead to the Village Circle. Parallel park SAFELY on roads/grass between the lots and Village Circle if both lots are full. For single-drivers or to join a carpool or shuttle: Meet in the lot directly across from the Paseo Gate, team up, and then go through the Paseo Gate. Shuttles will be available to the Venue. Arrive between 1:10 and 1:40 for shuttles or carpools. ** Please be seated by 1:55 pm AT THE LATEST For the 2 pm (sharp) start of wedding ceremony. ** Return shuttles will be available - ASK DJ IF YOU NEED A RETURN SHUTTLE.

Enjoy the beauty of Paseo! :-)
Can we Uber?
Yes, using Uber to and from is the same Uber process, just tell the guard you are here for the wedding. The guard leaves at 10 pm, so Ubers before 10 pm (to pick you up) just need to say: "pick-up for the Wedding".
How do we download the Photo App?
See the Photo Tab, scroll down to the QR. Scanning that will take you to the Photo App. We will also hand you a card with the QR at the wedding. We would love if you would upload and share your reception photos with us.
