Question

What is the temperature in Carmel this time of year?

Answer

November in Carmel Valley is usually very mild. Unlike nearby Carmel-by-the-Sea, the Valley does not contend with heavy sea fog and normally experiences sunny days! The average temperature in November is in the high 60's on a nice day, high 50's on a colder day. Our reception will have the option to be indoors and heated! But please bring whatever layers/jackets you need to feel comfortable.

Question

Are kids allowed?

Answer

While we love the kiddos in our lives and yours, we hope you will understand our decision to make our wedding kid-free, and take it as an opportunity to let your hair down and celebrate! Please inquire if you need recommendations for a sitter in the area.

Question

COVID-19 Guidelines

Answer

We ask that for the comfort of all our guests (some elderly and some immunocompromised or with children under 5) you please be up to date on all COVID-19 vaccines if you plan to attend. Up-to-date vaccination status means 2 rounds of an mRNA vaccine plus a recent booster shot or one JJ and one recent mRNA booster at this time. We thank you for your understanding.
