Venue & Events

The Ceremony 

We are getting married at the beloved Bob Baker Marionette Theater in Los Angeles!!!! It's kitschy, it's fun, it's colorful, it's very very us. Here's a little bit about BBMT from their website: 

"In 1963, Bob Baker and partner Alton Wood transformed a run-down scenic shop near downtown Los Angeles into a family entertainment institution: Bob Baker Marionette Theater. Named an official Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 2009, the Theater has served over ONE MILLION children with original shows ranging from Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker to a musical journey through the history of Los Angeles."

It's really our joy and privilege to be getting married at this lovely venue, and I can't wait to see y'all there!! 

Recommendations 

Airport

BBMT is located in the Highland Park area of Los Angeles. If you're flying in, I would recommend flying into the Burbank Airport instead of LAX. It's the difference between a $60 Uber and a $20 Uber. 

Hotels

My family loves to stay at the Courtyard By Marriott Los Angeles Pasadena/Old Town. It's an 11 minute drive from the theater. It's always nice, clean, and in a walkable area. They also like the Westin Pasadena! 

The Reception

After our ceremony magic, we're going to nurse our hangovers for a week, and then Jack and I are going to have a real wingding back home in Sacramento.

The Red Museum

The Red Museum is a artist's space and warehouse in midtown, Sacramento! 

The Red Museum feels like a club Stefon would promote on SNL, IN THE BEST WAY. I remember one episode where he says "this club has everything...puppets in disguise, like Alf wearing a trenchcoat." 

But truthfully the vibe is just a fun dancey party. There's not going to be a formal sit-down dinner, but there will be food, drinks, lots of music, and lots of love! It's going to be warm, it's a September evening in Sacramento, so dress comfortably and get ready to dance!
