FAQs

Question

Is the reception on the sand?

Answer

No! However, it is on a grass lawn next to the beach. Ladies, think block heals, wedges, or flats!

Question

How do we get from the ceremony to the reception?

Answer

After our ceremony, guests may drive, Uber, or catch the free Laguna Beach trolley from Main Beach near the lifeguard tower to Salt Creek Beach. Park or arrange for drop-off at the Salt Creek Beach parking lot, where golf carts will be waiting near the restrooms to escort you to and from our reception on the oceanfront lawn beside the beach.

Question

I want to take the free Laguna trolley from the ceremony to the reception! Where do I get on and off?

Answer

Great choice! It’s free, fun, and will take you right where you’ll need to be! If you choose this route, please be aware that the trolleys end at 10pm and be prepared to Uber/rideshare home (or to wherever the fun continues) after the reception. To catch the trolley after the reception, walk down Forest Avenue to Main Beach. When you hit PCH, cross the street toward the ocean and head to the famous Laguna Beach lifeguard tower–you can’t miss it! Wait at the nearby trolley stop. When you see a blue Laguna Beach trolley heading south, hop on! Take the trolley through Laguna all the way to the reception in Dana Point. Hop off at the Salt Creek Beach/Ritz Carlton stop, right in front of the beach parking lot. Look for the golf carts waiting near the bathrooms in the parking lot, ready to take you and fellow partygoers to the reception!

Question

I want to drive. Where should I park?

Answer

For the ceremony, there is a free parking lot for guests to use located behind the Presbyterian church. For the reception, guests will park in the Salt Creek Beach parking lot. Please note, you will have to pay for parking at one of the parking stations. It is $5 for 5 hours.
