Hotel

Chateau du Sureau

If you’re looking for a more luxurious stay, we highly recommend Château du Sureau. Since our reception will be held here, it’s not only a stunning location but also incredibly convenient and you can simply walk back to your room at the end of the night!

Hotel

The Inelle, Oakhurst Yosemite, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Located just across the street from Château du Sureau, The Inelle offers a cozy and convenient lodging option. It’s a great choice if you want to stay close to the reception but prefer a more laid-back and budget-friendly alternative. You’ll still be just steps away from the reception!

Hotel

Hampton Inn Oakhurst-Yosemite

Hotel

The Ahwahnee

This historic hotel is located right in Yosemite Valley, just minutes from our ceremony site, and offers elegant rooms with views of the park’s iconic cliffs and meadows. Please note: While The Ahwahnee is very close to the ceremony location, it’s about an hour and a half drive to the reception site. If you choose to stay here, we recommend booking for Sunday night only, and then arranging separate accommodations in Oakhurst for the night of the reception.

House Or Rental

Yosemite West

Yosemite West has a variety of Airbnb cabins just 30 minutes from Yosemite Valley. You’ll still be staying inside the park gates, so no separate entry reservation is required. Just keep in mind you'll need to drive to our events — about a 30-minute drive to the Valley floor (ceremony) and an hour drive to Chateau du Sureau (reception). If you choose to stay here, we recommend booking for the weekend or Sunday night only, and then arranging separate accommodations in Oakhurst for the night of the reception.
