Travel Note
Carmel-by-the-Sea is a tiny, charming coastal village with quaint shops and restaurants and stunning beach views. It is a very walkable town and 30 minutes from the venue site. We'd recommend this for guests who don't mind a little extra distance to the venue and want an elevated experience that showcases the best of the Northern California coast. Carmel Valley is 10 minutes inland and has a sunnier climate, view of the rolling hills and a taste of some of the best vineyards in NorCal. Carmel Valley is a small village with coffee shops and restaurants but it is not as walkable as Carmel by the Sea. We recommend this area for guests that are more interested in hiking and wine tasting. When in doubt, Monterey has some of the best golf courses in the world. You'll likely catch the groom out playing a couple rounds with his future mother-in-law.
