FAQS
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE THE EVENT
Where is the event located?
Big Hearts of Summer 2015 will be at the Sand Deck at the Jonathan Beach Club in Santa Monica, which means the event is outdoors, on the sand, by the beach.
What should I wear?
Suggested attire is cocktail + beach-chic, as you will be on the sand. Ladies, a wrap is recommended in the event that the evening weather cools down.
Where do I park?
Event parking for guests is reserved in the North Lot, Santa Monica Lot #8. Let the attendant know you are attending an event at the Jonathan Beach Club.
Will I receive a paper ticket in the mail once I register?
In an effort to save trees, ticketing this year is paperless. When you arrive, simply check-in at the registration table announcing your last name, and you'll be all set.
When does registration close?
The last day to RSVP and purchase a ticket is Friday, May 1, 2015.
Who is Queen Nation? Queen Nation, our main entertainment for the evening, is a tribute to Queen. Their live 90-minute production of Queen’s greatest hits preserves the image, sound, and stage persona of vintage Queen. Guests at Big Hearts will enjoy the portrayed accuracy of Queen Nation’s live retrospective journey through such Queen songs as We Will Rock You – We Are The Champions – Bohemian Rhapsody - Crazy Little Thing Called Love – You’re My Best Friend – Another One Bites The Dust – Under Pressure and many more.
We look forward to hosting you on May 7 and thank you for your generous support of WCC!
