Better late than never!
On January 26, 2026, we exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony in a small chapel north of San Francisco. We said 'I do' surrounded by our immediate family — and now we're ready to celebrate with all of our favorite people! We’ve scoped out a stunning Spanish garden in Monterey for this summer, and we can’t wait to have you join us for an evening of food, dancing, and celebration
FAQs
Question
Are children invited?
Answer
We love your little ones! However, to allow all our guests—including parents—a night of relaxation and uninhibited fun, we have chosen to make our wedding an adult-only celebration. We hope you will enjoy the night off and treat this as a mini-vacation in Monterey!
Question
What airport should we fly into?
Answer
1. Monterey Regional Airport (MRY) – Our Top Pick This is the easiest way to arrive, as it’s only a 12-minute drive to the venue. Because it’s a smaller regional airport, most flights will require a quick layover, but the stress-free arrival is worth it! 2. San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC) A great middle-ground option. SJC is an easy-to-navigate airport with many direct flights to major US cities. It is approximately a 1.5-hour drive to Monterey. 3. San Francisco International Airport (SFO) – The Scenic Route SFO offers the most flight options and often the most competitive rates. It’s about a 2-hour drive to Monterey. If you have extra time, we highly recommend taking the scenic route down Highway 1 (about 2.5 hours) for some of California’s most iconic coastal views!
Question
Where should we stay?
Answer
See the Travel section below for a couple of options for hotels in the area.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Garden Party Semi-Formal For Women: Think floral prints, midi dresses, or chic jumpsuits. We highly recommend block heels or flats, as the garden has historic brick paths that aren't stiletto-friendly! For Men: Suits or blazers in lighter weights and colors. Ties are optional. Pro Tip: Monterey evenings can be breezy and cool—don't forget a wrap or light jacket!
