Question

HOW DO WE GET TO THE RECEPTION?

Answer

*Reccomended to drive yourself up, or if you uber, we have people at the bottom of the hill to guide you up* It is up to you if you would like to drive yourself, or arrange transportation. We recommend if you are staying in a hotel, or airbnb local to the ceremony/ venue, to get an Uber or a Lyft to the rideshare spot, especially if you plan on drinking! It is a 10 minute ride from the ceremony to the Junipero Serra Park & Ride Spot (Where the shuttles will be) From the rideshare spot, a shuttle will then take you from there, to the reception venue up the hill. The shuttles will periodically be taking people up and down to and from the venue, to the rideshare spot. Keep in mind, the shuttle can only take up 26 people at a time, and it is a while to get up the hill, so if possible, carpool with someone and drive up. Driving yourself: Jewel of Ortega. Someone will lead you past the gate and up the hill. Rideshare spot: Junipero Serra Park and Ride
