Our Story

Seven years in the making

A coffee shop, a rained-out trip, one very rude dog, and a foggy bluff. Here's how we got here.

Maya and Daniel laughing together on a countryside path
  1. 2019

    A spilled flat white

    Maya was reading at Sightglass in Oakland when Daniel, in a hurry, knocked her coffee clean off the counter. He bought her another and stayed for three hours. Neither of them remembers what they talked about — only that they closed the place down.

  2. 2021

    The first real trip

    A rained-out camping weekend in Point Reyes that turned into two days of board games and diner pie. Somewhere between the Scrabble and the second slice, they both knew.

  3. 2022

    Home, and a very good dog

    They signed a lease on a tiny place in Temescal and immediately adopted Biscuit, a 12-pound mutt with strong opinions and no manners. He will not be attending the wedding. He sends his regrets.

  4. Dec 2025

    The question

    Back in Point Reyes, on the same foggy bluff where it all started, Daniel got down on one knee with the ring hidden in a thermos of cocoa. Maya said yes before he finished asking, then made him do it again so she could actually hear it.

Travel & Stay

Make a weekend of it

Sonoma in September is warm days and cool, starry nights. Come early, stay late, and drink something local while you're here.

01

Fly in

San Francisco (SFO) and Oakland (OAK) are each about 75 minutes away. Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County (STS) is the closest at 25 minutes if you can find a flight. We recommend renting a car — the wine country is best with one.

02

Where to stay

We have a room block at The Lodge at Sonoma, a 15-minute drive from the estate. Use code MAYADANIEL when booking by August 19 for the group rate. The Sonoma Plaza is a lovely walkable base if you prefer a B&B.

03

Getting there

The estate is at 4120 Arnold Drive. Parking is free and on-site. We will run a complimentary shuttle from The Lodge starting at 3:45 PM, looping back after the reception so no one has to think about the drive home.

Your presence is the gift

Truly — having you there is everything. But a few people have asked, so if you'd like to give something, here's where to look.

Zola

The big list — kitchen things, the good knives, a tent for someday.

Crate & Barrel

Dishes we will actually use and a stand mixer in a color we agreed on.

Honeymoon fund

Two weeks in Portugal. A coffee in Lisbon counts. A night in the Douro counts more.

Good to know

Questions & answers

Can I bring a plus-one?

Your invitation will name everyone we have a seat for. If it says "and guest," bring someone wonderful. If you are unsure, just ask us — we would rather you ask than wonder.

Are kids welcome?

We love your little ones, and we have a kids’ plate on the menu and a quiet room with a sitter from 7 PM. That said, we completely understand if you treat this as a date night.

What about parking?

Free on-site parking, and you can leave a car overnight and grab it the next morning. We also run a shuttle from The Lodge at Sonoma both ways.

What if it rains?

September in Sonoma is reliably gorgeous, but the estate has a covered barrel room on standby. The party happens rain or shine — dress for a warm evening that cools off after dark.

When should I RSVP by?

Please let us know by August 19, 2026 using the form on this page. Earlier is a gift to our caterer and our spreadsheet.

Is it really cashless / phone-free?

No cash needed anywhere. We are asking for phones away during the ceremony only — our photographer has it covered, and we will share every photo afterward.
