How it happened

## Our Story

I

### The Beginning

Emma and James first met at a ceramics class in Portland in 2021 — both there on a dare from different friends. James's lopsided bowl and Emma's overly ambitious vase became running jokes, and then reasons to keep coming back.

II

### The Proposal

Three years, two apartment moves, and one rescue cat later, Emma proposed at Crater Lake — the place James had always talked about visiting. It was raining. James said yes before Emma finished the question.

III

### The Wedding

We chose Napa because it's where we went on our first proper trip together — and because we wanted a place that felt as warm, organic, and unhurried as the relationship we've built. We can't wait to share it with you.

Everything you need to know

## FAQ

What is the dress code?
  Garden formal — think sundresses, linen suits, flowy separates. Heels are not recommended as the ceremony is on grass. Please avoid white and ivory out of respect for the couple.
Can I bring a plus-one?
  Due to venue capacity, plus-ones are only available if listed on your invitation. If your envelope says "and guest," you are welcome to bring one. If you have questions, please reach out before RSVPing.
Are children welcome?
  We adore your little ones! Children under 3 are welcome. For older children, we respectfully ask that this be an adults-only evening so everyone can celebrate freely. We hope you can arrange childcare and join us!
I have dietary restrictions — will there be options?
  Absolutely. The RSVP form has a dietary field — please let us know about any allergies or restrictions. Our caterer accommodates vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free diets.
Is there parking at the venue?
  Yes, free parking is available on-site. However, we strongly encourage using the shuttle service if you plan to drink. The shuttle runs every 30 minutes between the venue and the Napa Marriott from 3:00 PM to midnight.
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
  We are having an unplugged ceremony — please put devices away during the vows so everyone can be fully present. Our photographer will capture every moment beautifully. The reception is fully camera-friendly!
What happens if I need to cancel my RSVP?
  Life happens! Please let us know as soon as possible at hello@emmaandjames.com. Our caterer needs final numbers by September 5th.
Where should I stay?
  We have a room block at the Napa Marriott (5 minutes from the venue) for guests who need lodging. Use code EMMAJAMES2026 for the discounted group rate. The block is available until August 15th.

We hope to celebrate with you.
