FAQs
Are cHildren invited for the weekend?
We love our youngest family and friends, however the weekend events will all be adult only (21+). If you are traveling with little ones, please let us know if you need help coordinating local babysitting services.
And what about dOgs?
Unfortunately no dogs are allowed on the property, we would recommend finding a service to watch after our furry friends.
What dOes Black Tie mean?
Guests are recommended to choose floor-length/cocktail gowns/dresses and tuxedos when attending this type of celebration. The weather in LA can be a bit unwieldy in December and the dinner will be served outside on the lawn. We will have heaters and will make alternative plans should rain occur. Please be mindful of the grass when choosing shoes, as those sky high stilettos may end up sinking into the ground!
Happy to update on the weather as we get closer to the main event!
What’s the deal with the Paramour Estate?
We’re so excited to share our special day with you at this beautiful historic estate - an opulent residence of silent film star Antonio Moreno and his wife and oil heiress Daisy Canfield Moreno, daughter of pioneer oilman Charles A. Canfield, it was the scene for lavish Sunday afternoon parties for members of high society and silent screen notables. We will be mostly downstairs in the large rooms and lawns where lots of beautiful memorabilia will be displayed. Please be mindful of damaging any objects and no peeking upstairs in the private areas please!
We really can’t drive there?
Unfortunately not. Please be mindful of the neighboring residences as the street parking is NOT permitted, and we’d hate to have your car towed! Please also note that the residence is atop a very steep hill, so if you are looking to park a little further away and walk - that there may be some very intensive glute workouts in your future! Please note that the rideshare services will have to pull into the gate to drop you off, where you will be welcomed! There will be attendants on site to help direct you in!
What about the Friday night activities?
Stop on by between 8pm-10pm but request the hard out at 10pm, we want to be mindful of Fran & Lawrences’ neighbors! Rideshare is suggested, as there is not a whole lot of public street parking. Pasadena is a wonderful place to have dinner or cocktails before or after and we’d be happy to make any recommendations if you’re looking to explore before or after we share a toast and some dessert!
