FAQ
We’ll keep this page updated with everything you need to know for the weekend. A few helpful notes are below as you make your plans.
If any questions come up along the way, feel free to email us at dadyoconnorwedding@gmail.com — either we or our wonderful planner, Sabrina, will be happy to help.
How do I RSVP, and when is the deadline?
Please RSVP through our website by November 30. When you RSVP, you’ll also be asked to select your meal for the wedding reception.
What will the weather be like?
January is one of the best times to visit Palm Springs. Expect sunny days, cooler evenings, and desert temperatures that can shift quite a bit from day to night.
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Both. The ceremony and dinner will take place outdoors, with dancing indoors later in the evening.
What is the dress code?
Formal attire. Floor-length dresses and suits, with color and a little Palm Springs personality encouraged.
Are kids invited?
While our wedding day will be adults-only, children and any family traveling with you for the weekend are very welcome at Friday evening’s Welcome Party. If you’ll be traveling with children and need childcare during the wedding weekend, we recommend Destination Sitters, a trusted childcare service in Palm Springs.
Can I bring a date?
If your guest’s name is listed on your invitation, then yes. Otherwise, we’re hoping to keep the celebration as intimate as possible.
May we take photos during the wedding?
You are more than welcome and encouraged to snap photos and videos during cocktail hour and the reception. During the ceremony, we kindly ask that phones stay tucked away.
Do I need a car?
Not necessarily. If you’re staying near the wedding events, rideshares are generally easy and reliable around Palm Springs. The Parker offers valet parking at a discounted event rate of $25 per vehicle. Please note: this event rate does not apply to overnight parking.
Will there be any other weekend events?
Yes! We’ll be hosting a Welcome Party on Friday, January 22 at Mr. Lyons. You can find all the details on our Events page.
Is smoking permitted at The Parker?
The Parker is a strictly non-smoking property, including outdoor areas. We kindly ask that all guests respect the hotel’s policy throughout the weekend.
