Yes! We eloped on May 4th (may the Star Wars references abound).
This is our reception party--think of it as a wedding without a ceremony.
What do I wear?
This event is cocktail attire at a steakhouse.
Cocktail attire is typically....
For the gents, a suit of any color, shirt with or without a tie (ties and black suits not at all required), and shoes or loafers of your choice.
For the ladies, mini or midi dress or jumpsuit with jewelry and a nicer pair of shoes.

Can we bring our children?
On Friday and Sunday--yes, please do!
Saturday will be adults only. :)
How do I get to BLVD Steak?
Strongly recommend Uber or Lyft. Otherwise there is a valet. Street parking is metered in this area and limited to two hours until 8pm; to avoid having to run out to your car during dinner we recommend the former options.
Is there a ceremony?
There is not as we eloped! That said, please arrive as close to 5pm as possible as Russell and I will do a short version of our vows and welcome toasts during the cocktail hour.
What will the weather be like?
October in the Valley can be warm. Please keep this in mind while packing for the weekend as a whole, and for the evening party and breakfast the next day.
Think light colored suits, breathable fabrics, open toed shoes for the gals.
Will there be an open bar?
Yes! Drinks to order, order your favorite cocktail, wine, or beer of choice.
You want a dry martini, straight up, thrown, with a twist--go for it!
