Monterey during the Month of May sees an average high of 63° and an average low of 57° with typically no rain.
Both our wedding ceremony and reception will be taking place at the Barns at Cooper Molera in Monterey, CA.
After the ceremony, the bride and groom will be taking pictures nearby with immediate family for about an hour. Guests can head straight to the reception where we will be serving finger foods and beverages.
We recommend you arrive about 10 minutes before the start of the ceremony, to make sure everyone is on time and we can get the party started as scheduled!
We encourage Uber/Lyft with our code, but if you are driving to the wedding there are several parking lots within walking distance of The Barns which are only $7.00 for a 24 hour period. The Barns is closest to the Downtown area garages and lots, specifically the section called “Downtown East.”
We do have a hotel block at the Portola Hotel and Spa, you can find the link to book on the “Travel” page of our wedding website. The room block reserved for the Friday 5/20 and Saturday 5/21, you must make a 2 night minimum reservation in order to receive the room block rate.
Of course! There will be drinks and appetizers passed immediately following the ceremony, followed by a sit down formal style dinner.
There will not be transportation provided to/from the hotel. We recommend staying at one of the several hotels on our “Travel” page to be within walking distance or a short Uber/Lyft ride from the venue.
Yes, of course! Our only request is that all guests keep their phones, cameras, and/or other devices put away during our intimate ceremony. We want to share this incredibly special moment with all of you without any devices blocking the view.
Our ceremony will be outdoors and our reception will be indoors.
