We met in the early years of college at Virginia Tech where we spent our time going to football games, sorority formals, and bars before packing our bags and heading to San Francisco, where games and formals and bars were traded in for tech meet-ups and brunches and, well, nicer bars.
And shortly after meeting... ok, 9 years after meeting... Mike proposed to Katie on a foggy, gray, romantic day in December, and now we get to throw a big party to celebrate!
Both the ceremony and reception will take place at the Bently Reserve, a former federal reserve bank in the Financial District of San Francisco. Please join us at 5:30pm for the ceremony, and stick around for some cocktails and hors d'oeuvres before we start dinner and the party at 7:00!
The party will end at 11:00 p.m., but if you're still thirsty plan to join us at Irish Times ust across the street for more booze and more fun!
New to San Francisco? Welcome! Been here before? Welcome back! We’re so glad to have you! We wanted to provide a bit of information for all of you out of town guests. We truly believe we live in the best city in the world, and we want to share some helpful tips and tricks to make your stay here comfortable and memorable.
We've set up room blocks at the Le Meridien Hotel, which is attached to the venue, so stumbling home after all those cocktails will be a breeze! Give them a call on their reservation line at (866) 837-4184 by March 18th and mention the Anderson/Malone room block. The room block price is valid for Friday and Saturday nights. Should you need a weeknight room, please email Aimee James, an employee at the Le Meridien, at ajames@lemeridiensf.com, and she will be able to book you with a discounted rate.
April is usually pretty mild and free of fog and rain, but our best advice is to bring lots of layers, and carry a cardigan or light jacket with you wherever you go. This town is known for its microclimates and rapidly changing weather, so just come prepared for anything!
San Francisco offers multiple ways to get around town, but the easiest is by taxi or Uber (download the app before you come!). Should you be craving that gritty city experience, the city also offers busses and light rails. And if you are up for it, parts of San Francisco are very walkable- just watch out for those hills!
These are a few of our favorites, but don’t be afraid to explore — this city has a lot to offer!
A gift, for us? You shouldn’t have! Oh, you didn’t? Well if you want to, here are some things that would make our lives as newlyweds oh so wonderful!
