If you're coming from out of town and want to stay the night (or make a weekend of the trip), there are tons of wonderful spots to stay in downtown Carmel as well as Monterey. Most anything in the Monterey Peninsula will be within a 15-30 minute drive of the venue. Here are a few spots to help you get started.
We also highly recommend checking AirBnB and VRBO for home and room rentals for the weekend!
