Our beautiful venue is up a winding mountain road in the forest with parking only available for guests staying overnight in cabins. If you have not booked a cabin, we have reserved the parking lot of a nearby church. Please plan to arrive at the church parking area at 2:45pm and hop on the shuttle van that we have hired for the quick 7 minute ride up to the venue. It will take just a couple trips to get everyone in, so if you don't see a shuttle right when you arrive, just hang tight, one will be back soon! Parking location: St Peter & St Paul Orthodox 9980 Hwy 9, Ben Lomond, CA 95005 The shuttle will be available again to return you to the parking area starting as early as 7:15pm and will be available on demand for the remainder of the night (just in case anyone needs to depart early).
Please plan to arrive no later than 2:45, and consider Highway 17 beach traffic if you are coming from the Bay Area. The Ceremony will begin at 3:30, and the Reception will end at 10 pm. We will add more details here soon!
Semiformal/nature formal. When picking your outfit, please consider that beach fog may cool things down in the evening. There is a short, roughly 2 minute, walk on a nature trail between the ceremony and reception sites. Please keep this in mind when choosing shoes. Accommodations via golf cart are available for those who require them for the walk between sites.
Check in for the cabins begins at 1pm. The ceremony will not start until 3:30 but you are welcome to come enjoy the beautiful venue before the festivities begin! All cabins must be checked out by 10am the next morning.
We will be adding more information here as our wedding date approaches. Stay tuned! Love, M&A
