Our wedding will be at the Hotel del Monte at the Post Graduate Naval School in Monterey, a historic hotel that was the start of 17 Mile Drive, now owned by the Navy.
As much as we love all your littles, we are requesting an adults-only evening.
We are registered through Zola, Crate & Barrel, and Williams-Sonoma. All can be found in the Registry tab on our website.
Due to the nature of the property, guests will not be able to Uber or Lyft to the venue. Licensed yellow taxis are allowed on base, and you may also drive yourself onto base. Otherwise, we recommend planning on using our shuttle service that will pick up at the Hilton Garden Inn, whether you stay at the hotel or not. Shuttle service will start at 2:45. There is parking available on site, but please note that cars cannot be left overnight. If you are planning on celebrating late with us, we recommend the shuttle service. If you are driving, please allow yourself plenty of time to arrive, as all guests will have to check in through the security gate and we do anticipate a wait.
Our wedding will be a black tie-optional event. The ceremony will be on the lawn, so please plan shoe choice accordingly. Monterey is also known to get chilly in the evenings, so it is recommended to bring a coat or wrap.
Due to the secure nature of our venue as well as space constraints, we've named all invited guests on your invitations, and cannot have any changes to the guest list.
