Our entire celebration — ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception — will take place outdoors, right off the cliff overlooking the ocean. 🌊 There are stairs from the shuttle drop-off to the ceremony and around the buffet area, so please keep this in mind when making decisions regarding footwear.
There’s no strict dress code — we want everyone to feel comfortable and confident. Dressy yet comfortable is perfect, a light jacket or wrap is recommended for the evening breeze. Flowy dresses, jumpsuits, dress shirts, slacks, or anything that feels festive and stylish are all great choices. Keep in mind that there will be stairs and grassy areas, so we recommend comfortable, stable shoes (block heels, wedges, or nice flats).
Yes! Shuttle pick-up is from 12:15 PM – 12:30 PM at: 📍 3650 Rio Rd, Carmel-by-the-Sea (A lot near Starbucks) The shuttle ride to the venue is approximately one hour.

There will approximately be a 2hr 15 min dance party with 3 consecutive DJs. The bride and groom will be 2/3 performers this evening, so attendance on the dance floor will be mandatory ;) *just joking*. Please reach out if you have any song requests as we will not be taking requests the day of.
Forecast: partly cloudy, high ~69°F, low ~56°F. 🌤 It may feel cooler with the ocean breeze, especially in the evening. Patio heaters and blankets will be provided, and we also recommend bringing a light jacket, shawl, or wrap for extra comfort.
Absolutely! 🎉 We’ll have a playroom with video games, activities, movies and snacks to keep the kids entertained.
