There’s a great big Switzerland (and other countries) out there, and we hope you’ll be exploring before or after our wedding!

Beyond Basel

Swiss Riviera

Where we thought our wedding would be!

We highly recommend a trip to the Swiss Riviera. Sara appreciates the more “Californian laid-back” feeling of the region. It’s known for Unesco world heritage vineyards, excellent wine, boardwalks for swimming in the lake and is home to plenty of history.
