Clarisse & Wyatt

Please click 'La Jolla' at the top and then 'Accommodations' in the left side menu to explore our recommendations.

Eddie V’s enforces a dress code: "To promote a family friendly and welcoming atmosphere for everyone, we consider gym attire, sweatpants, hats, clothing with offensive languages or images, and exposed undergarments too casual for our restaurants.". Therefore, we request that if you choose to attend welcome drinks, you come in cocktail attire. We strongly recommend bringing a light jacket as this event will be outdoors on a rooftop into the evening hours.

We will be serving dinner at the Welcome Party in a cocktail hour style. Dinner will be served as heavy hors d'oeuvres, appetizers, and food stations. You are welcome to dine before or after our event, but know that you will be fed well at our event. We are also happy to host a full open bar for all our guests.

Requested attire for our wedding day is Black Tie Optional. Suggested attire for gentlemen is a tuxedo or dark suit (jacket and tie required). Suggested attire for ladies is floor-length dresses. If you are a member of our military, we welcome you to attend dressed in uniform.

While we truly love the presence and energy of children, we have decided to host an adults-only affair. We greatly appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time!

We kindly ask that you inform us if you're attending our wedding weekend by Saturday, August 5, 2023. You can do this by sending your RSVP card in the mail or on this website under the 'RSVP' tab above!

We would love to have all your loved ones celebrate this special day with us, however, our venues have limited capacities. We kindly request that only those we have indicated on the invitations attend and appreciate your understanding.

We recommend that our guests utilize a ride share to transport yourself to our ceremony. If you are staying in the downtown La Jolla, the church will most likely be walking distance. If you prefer to drive yourself there is street parking available at both sites. Kindly note that these spots may be subject to a time limit.

While our ceremony and reception sites are a five-minute walking distance from each other, we are happy to provide transportation for our guests to our reception site. Pick-up will follow shortly after the conclusion of the ceremony.

Absolutely! In fact, we encourage all our guests to share our day on your social media platforms! However, there is a strict no phones/media devices during our ceremony. Other than that, share and tag away!

We are not requiring anyone to wear a mask nor show proof of vaccination. Additionally, we will not be requiring any guest to social distance. Please understand that if you choose to attend our event, you are doing so at your own risk. Our welcome party will be an outdoor event. Our wedding day will both be indoors and outdoors. All events will have up to 200 guests attending. We completely understand and empathize if you feel more comfortable declining to attend our wedding weekend.

We request that you direct any additional questions to thedunns2023@gmail.com. A member of our planning staff will do their best to answer your question in a timely manner!

Make sure to check out this famous brunch spot in La Jolla! Fun Fact: this is where Clarisse & Wyatt met! They are known for their unique twist on the classic French toast dish... the Coast Toast! 

If you are looking for some great San Diego authentic Mexican cuisine, be sure to stop at Puesto! Chief Dante (Clarisse's Dad) highly recommends the filet tacos and a Cadillac margarita before you depart home! 

From the Michelin Guide:

In the historic heart of La Jolla, find this cool and hip retreat on the top floor of the Plaza Center. The artfully designed dining room features sunny Mediterranean colors and ceramic tiles. A large, elegant terrace offers panoramic coastline views.

Come early for their aperitivo (cocktails and snacks), but make sure you stay to explore this kitchen’s modern twists. Start with a daily salad special, featuring lovely flavors like beet chips and butternut squash, crowned by ahi tuna crudo with poppy seeds and basil leaves. Then dive into a Neapolitan-style pizza from the wood-burning oven, or decadent pastas such as orecchiette mingled with slow-braised duck ragù accented by tomato coulis, porcini mushrooms and freshly grated parmesan.
