The Rehearsal Dinner

The wedding party will rehearse the ceremony at 5:00 PM on Friday, June 6th, at Chileno Valley Ranch.

At 6:30 PM, the bride and groom's immediate family and members of the wedding party will meet for dinner in a private room at The Station House Cafe in Point Reyes Station.

After 8:30 PM (post-dinner), out of town guests, friends, and relatives are invited to join us at The Station House Cafe for drinks, dessert, and socializing.


The Wedding Day
  • 4:00 PM   The wedding ceremony begins at Chileno Valley Ranch. Kathy Ray (Rachel's mentor and former supervisor) will be our officiant. We recommend arriving by 3:30 PM, saving time to park and walk to the seating area prior to 4:00 PM.
  • 5:00 PM   Guests are invited to enjoy appetizers and champagne in the garden while the wedding party is photographed by the shutterbug extraordinaire Kyle Draganov.
  • 6:00 PM   Buffet dinner will be served by our caterer, Judy Hobbs (former resident of Jonathan's home town, State College, Pennsylvania!), at approximately 6:00 PM outside the barn. Our theme is seafood and fresh vegetables.
  • 7:30 PM   The Bay Area's best dance band, The Swing Session, opens with a dance lesson by the fabulous Julia and Tanoa. The band will play for two hours with a break for dessert. The last set will end around 10:00 PM. Dancing mandatory! :-)

Sunday Morning

Everyone is invited to enjoy a hike together in Point Reyes National Seashore parklands. We will meet at the Bear Valley Visitor's Center at 11:30 AM to explore the Bear Valley Trail, a wide, mildly sloping, shaded trail with restrooms at the half way point.
