The ceremony is outdoors and the weather in San Francisco during the summer can be unpredictable (average temps) so check the weather forecast and bring a sweater, jacket, or wrap.
We've arranged for shuttles to take guests from the Hotel Nikko to and from the ceremony.
The shuttle will depart the Mason St. entrance of the hotel at 12:40pm. The Mason St. entrance is one floor below the front desk and concierge. If you miss the shuttle, taxis queue up at this same entrance. The return shuttle will depart the Shakespeare Garden at 2:30pm.
