Our wedding will take place at The Reef Restaurant in Long Beach, CA on August 2, 2008. The ceremony will be outside on the sunset deck, so wear sunscreen and be prepared for some heat (although it won't be for long). The ceremony will begin at 5:00p.m., but please allow enough time since the restaurant is a little difficult to find sometimes. The dress is semi-formal, and don't forget your dancing shoes!!! A map and two sets of directions are inside the invitation, but if you prefer to maquest it the address is 880 Harbor Scenic Drive Long Beach, CA 90802, but beware it is tricky! I will post signs that will hopefully be helpful but the telephone number to The Reef Restaurant is 562-435-8013 just in case you get lost.
Our reception immediately follows the ceremony and takes place in the Pacific ballroom directly beneath the sundeck (ceremony site). It should begin around 6:00p.m. and will last until midnight, so get your rest the night before =) Hors d' oeuvres will be served and there will be a one hour open bar- - so take advantage! Be prepared for a good meal and lots of dancing!! We look forward to celebrating with all of you and we can't wait!
If anyone would like to get a hotel room so you can enjoy yourselves without worrying about driving home there is:
The Coast Hotel
700 Queensway Drive, Long Beach 90802(about .3 miles down the road). You can book it through hotels.com (rate should be about $110) or you can call the hotel directly at 562-435-7676 and ask for "The Reef Rate", which is $135+ tax for the night.
Queen Mary Hotel is also nearby, just not as close.
Call ASAP rooms are limited.
Please stay or get a sober driver! No drinking and driving!!!
Each and everyone of you holds a special place in our hearts and we are so excited to be sharing this special day with you. We can't wait for the wedding day to arrive-- just be prepared for lots of fun and dancing because this is definitely a day to celebrate!!!
