For those flying in, you have three great options:
San Francisco International Airport (SFO): Located about 60 miles south of Sonoma, it’s roughly a 1.5-hour drive to the heart of Wine Country.
Oakland International Airport (OAK): Another option with a drive time of around 1.5 to 2 hours (about 65 miles).
Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport (Santa Rosa): This airport is just 30 minutes away from Sonoma and offers a more convenient, shorter drive if flights are available.
-
For our wedding, we ask that you dress in semi-formal attire. We’ll be celebrating outdoors at a beautiful winery, so keep that in mind when choosing your outfit.
Comfortable shoes are recommended for walking around the vineyard grounds, and be prepared for the weather—late spring in Sonoma can be warm during the day and cooler in the evening.

HOW WE MET
From Neighbors to Soulmates…
It’s almost like fate had its playful way with us from the start. Growing up only 15 houses apart but divided by different town boundaries, our paths didn’t truly cross until high school at Ramapo. Dylan vividly remembers spotting Dacey on her freshman year picture day, ask him - and he’ll recount exactly what she was wearing that day.
Our story really started to take shape as Dylan became close friends with Dacey’s triplet siblings, Mary and Frank. But it wasn't just friendships that brought us closer; it was also Dylan’s spontaneous adventures. He would hop on Bus #32, an unusual choice since he never rode the bus, just to walk Dacey home. We would spend a few minutes together until we reached Dacey’s driveway, after which Dylan would race home. These shared moments, brief yet meaningful, were the beginning of our journey from high school friends to lifelong partners.
The summer of 2013 was a turning point when Dylan asked Dacey to his senior prom. This moment marked the beginning of our lifelong commitment, and we have been inseparable ever since.
