Monterey Regional Airport (MRY) – Best for convenience. Just 15 minutes from Carmel, MRY is the closest airport to the wedding venue. It’s small and easy to navigate, with limited direct flights—ideal for those who can find a good connection. San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC) – Best balance of options and distance. About 1.5 hours from Carmel, SJC offers a wider range of domestic flights and is less hectic than SFO. Great choice for guests looking for flexibility without a long drive. San Francisco International Airport (SFO) – Best for international travelers or major hubs. Around 2 to 2.5 hours from Carmel, SFO is the largest airport with the most flight options. Expect more traffic and longer travel time, but it’s ideal for guests flying in from far away.
We won’t be providing transportation between venues. Rideshare options may be limited in the area, so we recommend arranging a designated driver, car rental, or coordinating with other guests ahead of time. Feel free to reach out if you’d like help planning!
We recommend booking your accommodations as soon as possible. Carmel-by-the-Sea is a popular destination with limited lodging options, and prices can rise quickly, especially during peak seasons. Securing your stay early will help ensure the best selection and rates.
June in Carmel-by-the-Sea is typically mild and pleasant. You can expect cool mornings, sunny afternoons, and crisp evenings. It’s a good idea to bring layers—think a light jacket or sweater for when the sun dips.
We kindly ask that our wedding be an adults-only celebration. We hope this advance notice allows you to make arrangements and join us for a joyful evening in Carmel-by-the-Sea.
Our wedding will be a formal celebration, and we’d love for everyone to dress to impress! Women should plan to wear dresses—long or cocktail-style are both great. Men should wear a suit and tie. Think classic, elegant, and ready for an evening of celebration in Carmel-by-the-Sea!
