Nope! It’s just a short walk from the parking lot to the ceremony site so no hiking boots are needed. The ground may be a bit soft, though, so we recommend wearing flats or shoes with a sturdy, chunky heel.
Yes, there is parking available at the Cathedral Beach Picnic Area; however, it is limited. We plan to provide transportation for our guests from Oakhurst to the ceremony site to make things easier. If you prefer to drive yourself, we strongly recommend carpooling with other guests, as parking spaces fill up quickly.
We recommend arriving no later than Sunday, June 7, to allow extra time for any travel delays. Since our ceremony takes place in the morning, we’d love for you to have a relaxed evening and a restful night of beauty sleep the night before the wedding!
