FAQs
Question
Is the wedding ceremony and wedding reception on the same day?
Answer
No. We have decided to do things a little differently. We will be having an intimate ceremony in Big Sur on July 17. The space is very small, so only our closest family and friends will be in attendance. On July 19, we will be having our wedding reception at the Fox theater in Salinas California. All of our friends and family will be invited to celebrate with us.

Wedding ceremony - Big Sur parking
Answer
Parking is limited at the Big Sur Lodge. There is a lot directly in front of the lodge with two handicap spaces available. If that lot is full, please walk into the lodge and head to the front desk and ask for a parking pass for the Sapien, Ramos wedding. They will give you a parking pass for an overflow lot located at the Big Sur national park just up the road. It’s a short walk back to the lodge.
