The Gaslamp Quarter: Our Wedding Location |
| Our wedding will take place in the heart of downtown, adjacent to The Gaslamp Quarter, which is a popular dining and shopping district for locals and visitors. If you will be staying at The Westgate or another hotel in the vicinity, you may want to explore the neighborhood on foot, as most destinations are within a few square blocks and parking can be difficult. On weekend nights, both 4th and 5th Avenue between Broadway and the water teem with people and cars, so if you like people watching, get a sidewalk table at one of the many restaurants that line the street. Italian food is especially well-represented, but there are lots of other options, too. Check www.gaslamp.org for lots more information. |
