DRESS CODE:


Friday: Denim Party


Denim is the dress code. Think elevated, effortless, and ready for a fun night of celebrating.


Saturday: California Formal


Not quite black tie, but a step above cocktail attire. Think polished yet relaxed: suits (no tuxedos required) and long dresses are encouraged. Black is always classic, but floral and colorful dresses are absolutely welcome.
