Updates/FAQs

The Wedding Website of Maddi Gamette and Tommy Dobson
Updates: As RSVP's are filling in, we are noticing that some guests are opting not to use the free shuttle service provided. We want to stress that there is severely limited parking at the venue and parking is not guaranteed if you are not staying at Ragged Point Inn (the public has access all weekend). We also want to provide safe transportation. The shuttle service is very familiar with the narrow, winding roads of Hwy 1, especially at night in the dark. Driving at night from Ragged Point, Big Sur to San Simeon is dangerous, especially after a couple drinks. Please reach out to either of us with any questions that you may have. We are happy to help you in any way we can. Maddi - (949) 677-3819 Tommy - (503) 708-5452
Question

How do I book a room at Ragged Point Inn?

Answer

Call Ragged Point Inn at (888) 584-6374 and inform them you are attending Maddi and Tommy's wedding and would like a room. The will not charge you for the room until 60 days prior to the event. Check in time is at 3:00 PM and the ceremony starts promptly at 4:00 PM so please plan accordingly.

Question

What is the parking situation?

Answer

There is ample parking at Ragged Point Inn (75 spots in total, but all are open to the public). Please check out the travel tab to see shuttle options.

Question

Are pets allowed?

Answer

Ragged Point Inn and the wedding are dog-friendly.

Question

Where do the shuttles pick me up?

Answer

The shuttles are a work in progress, but we expect to finalize everything after guests have decided whether to stay at Ragged Point Inn or elsewhere and respond with an RSVP. Our plan is to have the shuttles run from 2:00 PM - 11:00 PM with a break from 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM for the ceremony. The last shuttle will leave the off-site hotels no later than 3:00 PM in order to arrive on time. The likely stopping points for them will be at the Cavalier Oceanfront Resort in San Simeon, Cambria Pines Lodge, and Fireside Inn on Moonstone Beach. These are great places to stay in San Simeon and Cambria. We are looking into extending the shuttle service to other hotels as well.

Question

How do I RSVP?

Answer

Please RSVP on this website under the RSVP tab. There are follow up questions that we need the answers to for the shuttle service.

Question

Are children welcome?

Answer

Yes children are welcome, however, we want to caution that the venue is located on a cliff and there are hazardous paths that go down to the shoreline.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Due to limited space we ask that only guests specified on the invitation attend. If given a plus one it will be specified on the invitation.

Question

Are phones/photos allowed for the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will be unplugged and we ask guests to trust our photographer and videographer to capture the special moments. We may have a minute pause in the ceremony to allow guests to capture any photos they wish to take.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

We are kindly requesting guests wear semi-formal beach/garden attire. The wedding is located in central California on the coast during September, which means we will most likely have nice weather. However, it does get windy and chilly at night. Dress for nice weather during the day and colder weather during the evening. Heating lamps will be provided since the entirety of the ceremony and reception is outside. We don't expect rain, but the California coast can be unpredictable. The ceremony and reception will be held on a grassy lawn with paved paths that run throughout the venue.

Question

When should I arrive to the venue?

Answer

The ceremony starts promptly at 4:00 PM, and the last shuttle will arrive at the venue at 3:30 PM so plan accordingly. If you are staying at Ragged Point Inn, check in time is at 3:00 PM. We encourage guests to take in the amazing views before the ceremony and explore the grounds.

Question

Vibes?

Answer

Great.
