Private Residence

Oxnard, CA

Additional Information

The wedding and reception will take place inside and outside of a beautiful barn in Oxnard, California. Given the private nature of the venue, the only option for getting there will be shuttles that pick up and drop off guests at the hotel. If you are not staying at one of the two hotels we recommend, please let us know and we will provide a location where you can park and shuttle to the festivities. No one will be able to drive to the venue so please make sure to get on one of the shuttles.

While we love the little ones, this is an adults only affair.

Cocktail Attire

Gentlemen please wear a collared shirt and tie. Suits are optional. Bow ties, suspenders, and other festive accessories are encouraged.

Dresses, skirts, and dress pants are all suitable choices for ladies. This is an indoor/outdoor wedding on sometimes uneven ground so you might want to leave the stilettos at home and opt for sturdier shoes. June weather in LA is unpredictable so bring a wrap or sweater in case it gets chilly.

Social Media

This is an unplugged ceremony. We are respectfully asking that everyone leave all cameras and cell phones off. We've hired an amazing wedding photographer team who will capture all the special moments, leaving you free to sit back, relax, and be present in this moment with us.

That said, before and after the ceremony, please snap away! We would love to see the wedding day and reception from your POV. Please use the hashtag #smabel2016 so we can find and enjoy all your lovely photos.

One last social media request - When you do post photos, please don’t use any sort of location tagging. Facebook and Instagram both ask you if you want to “add a location”, and our wedding venue’s owner requests that you don’t. It’s a small, family run operation, and we’d appreciate it if you respect their request.

Hotel

We have wedding blocks at the Hilton Garden Inn and the Hilton Homewood Suites in Oxnard.

The Hilton Garden Inn offers King or Double Queen rooms. The wedding rate is $149/ night with no breakfast or $159/night with breakfast.

If you are a member of AAA, AARP, or a senior citizen, you can get a slightly lower rate on your room than the wedding block discount. However, you must book directly through the Hilton Garden Inn's website and not through our personal link. Please let us know if you do, so we can make sure you're included on our list of hotel wedding guests.

We will be hosting an after party on Saturday night and a light breakfast on Sunday at the Hilton Garden Inn. The shuttle will only run from this hotel, so this is where we recumbent you stay. However, if you're traveling with a larger group and prefer more space, the Hilton has a sister property just across the parking lot. The Homewood Suites offers one and two bedroom suites with separate living areas and a small kitchen. Rates range from $209/night to $349/night. The two hotels share a parking lot. If you choose to stay at the Homewood Suites you will be able to walk to the Hilton Garden Inn to participate in the festivities and take the shuttle.
