FAQs

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Dress to impress! Our wedding is black tie optional. The air will cool off at night so please prepare accordingly. Women should wear floor length dresses. No white! Bridesmaids will be in black. Men should wear formal suits or tuxedos.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

In order for us to keep our wedding intimate, only the guest formally invited on your wedding invitation will be accommodated. If you received a plus one, this will appear at the time you RSVP.

Question

What if I didn’t RSVP in time?

Answer

If we do not receive your RSVP by the date provided, it will be automatically recorded as “no”. We will really miss celebrating with you, but must give final counts to vendors within the time frame they have provided us and cannot accept late RSVPs.

Question

Are children invited?

Answer

While we love your kids, this is strictly an adults-only event with exceptions to those in the wedding party and immediate family. We understand that this may be a getaway weekend, so please let us know if you are interested in childcare.

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

We are highly encouraging all guests to stay in Carmel Valley. All events will take place in Carmel Valley, and because the venue is so unique, individual cars are NOT PERMITTED on site. We will be arranging shuttles, and the pickup and drop-off spots will be in Carmel Valley. Staying in the valley is highly encouraged. Please click the travel section for hotel recommendations.

Question

I’m traveling in from out of state, which airport should I fly into?

Answer

Monterey/Carmel has an airport (code is MRY) that is about 20 minutes from Carmel Valley. Additionally, the San Jose airport may have better flight options and that is about 90 minutes away to the north.

Question

Should I rent a car?

Answer

That is up to you. You may find it helpful to have one to be able to do your own exploring of the beautiful Carmel-Monterey area. Ride-share apps like Uber and Lyft are harder to come by in Carmel Valley.
