FAQs
Question
Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?
Answer
*For Saturday Only* we will have shuttles to take guests from the Sea Cliff Inn in Aptos to the venue. The shuttle will depart twice from the Sea Cliff Inn in the afternoon before the Ceremony at the following times: 1:45 PM 2:45 PM and return twice towards the end of/after the reception at 9:30 PM (towards the end of the reception) 11:30 PM (towards the end of the post-reception bonfire) The trip takes roughly 30 minutes. If you aren't staying at the Inn you can still use the shuttle - it's recommended to park in the Resurrection Catholic Church next door. For other methods of transportation, keep in mind that WiFi Coverage and cell service may be very spotty at the venue. Don't rely on being able to call an Uber/Lyft from the venue, and if you're planning on using a rideshare try to schedule your trip in advance.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
Yes, there is ample parking at the venue for all events.
Question
How can we drive to the venue?
Answer
If you are coming south from the bay on Route 17, Google Maps' instructions may not be correct. The route that has you taking Summit Road is wrong, and will lead you on a narrow and poorly maintained road - it is not faster than the more roundabout route. Instead, you should take Route 17 to Route 1 South. Take exit 433A to Freedom Road, then: Turn left onto Freedom Blvd Slight left onto Hames Rd Turn right onto Pleasant Valley Rd Turn left onto Hames Rd Turn left onto Eureka Canyon Rd Sharp left into the venue - you should see signs for Pema Osel Ling. Once you are off of Route 1 Google Maps' instructions will be correct.
