There is a parking lot immediately outside with limited spaces, but there is ample surrounding free parking on the side streets as well.
Attire is semi-formal to formal - don’t worry about overdressing.
Tell me more about the venue.
Gladly! Iron Bark Cider Works is a woman-owned, queer friendly ci defy in central Claremont CA. Said best in their own words, Iron Bark's mission is "to give non-binary identifiers, people of color and women, the opportunity that has been denied them for centuries… an equal playing field, a safe space, a forum for expression without judgement or harassment." It's a fairly small venue tucked away in an industrial business complex, with both indoor and outdoor spaces to mingle. It's my favorite place to grab a drink, and I can't wait to share it with you.
Which airport should I fly into?
Ontario Airport (ONT) will be the most convenient to fly into; we live about 1.5 miles / 10 minutes from the airport and our venue is about 15-20 minutes away. Other options are LAX (56 miles, 1 - 2.5 hrs), or if you want to visit/stay near Disney while you're here, SNA (45 miles, 1 - 1.5 hrs).
How long should I stay?
As long as you want! I recommend flying in no later than Saturday morning. Take a long weekend if you can and enjoy the many other things that Southern California has to offer. I will be leaving the country the morning of Monday, December 11.
Where should I stay?
I recommend staying somewhere in west Riverside county or east LA county to reduce any rideshare fees - unless you're planning on renting a car. Some good cities to look into AirBNBs/hotels are Upland, Claremont, Rancho Cucamonga, La Verne, or San Dimas.
What's the dress code?
Be A Slut, Do Whatever You Want.
In all seriousness, I want you to wear whatever makes you feel sexy! If you love an excuse to dress up, this is it. The vibes are semi-formal/formal, if that helps. For folks interested in wearing more feminine options, Rent-The-Runway is a budget-friendly way to dress to the nines. As for me, I will be dressing as slutty as possible & taking no questions at this time, thank yew.
Will there be food?
Absolutely, there will be a taco truck ready to feed you. Please let me or Bryan know if anyone has any life-threatening food allergies so we can ensure our vendor doesn't kill anyone.
Will there be booze?
We're providing delicious Iron Bark cider, but no hard alcohol. If you choose to bring liquor or other party favors, please keep it outside of the venue and enjoy very discreetly.
Can I bring a +1?
Plus-ones were intentionally named on your mailed RSVP invite, so if you received an invite with *only* your name on it, please check in with me first!
Is there anything happening on Sunday?
Sunday (Dec 10) is my actual birthday, and I'd love to continue the celebration with brunch or something - this is TBD, I'll update this page as we figure out a plan.
