important information!!! please read

Dearest wedding guests,

The wedding is only about a week away! Time for the nitty gritty details.

Here is some important driving and parking information so pay close attention...


Ceremony Information:

The exact address to the Newport Beach Temple is:

2300 Bonita Canyon Drive
Newport Beach, CA

here is a map to the temple. simply enter in your starting location and it will give you step by step directions to get there.

If you are attending the temple ceremony you need to be there at 12:30pm. ceremony starting at 1pm.

ALL immediate family must be there after the ceremony for photos (even if you are not attending the ceremony). Please be there no later than 1:30 to insure you are there when we come out of the temple. There is a waiting area inside the front doors of the temple. Parking is free and on the temple grounds. Dress is sunday best...casual dressy.

The ceremony and photos afterward should all be finished by 2:30pm.


Reception Information:

The exact address to the beach house is:

100 Monte Carlo Dr
Laguna Beach, CA 92651

here is a map to the reception site. simply enter in your starting location and it will give you step by step directions to get there.

Reception starts at 4pm. Please arrive on time to make parking easier.

The reception is in the private Irvine Cove community and not Emerald Bay community. If you go to the Emerald Bay Gate they will not let you in. I am making this correction on the blog as well.

Since Irvine Cove is a private community you can only enter if your name is at the gate. Passes to get into the community and parking are limited so we had to assign just certain people passes. This was no easy task. All the people who are not assigned passes should know someone on the parking list they can carpool into the community with. We know this is kind of a pain, but it's a small price to pay to be able to have our party in such a beautiful location.
Please look over the list of names and contact somebody you may think you can drive in with.
If you have questions or problems with this please contact either me or grant.

-Those who are assigned a pass, must be in the car, but don't have to be the driver.
-Give the gate attendant the pass holders name and tell them you are a visitor of PAUL WHITE.
-They should then give you a pass to put on your dash and let you enter.
- follow your mapped directions till you reach the top of the drive. look for white balloons to indicate where this spot is.
- someone will be there to help you know where to park.
- those with elderly, kids or cars with needed supplies should all be able to park fairly close to the house entrance.
