Chaminade Resort & Spa
The wedding ceremony and reception will be hosted at Chaminade Resort. We've reserved a block of rooms at the resort for our guests. Please use the website linked below to access our discounted rate. It's a beautiful space: complete with pool, spa, fitness center, miles of hiking trails, tennis and pickleball courts, and a disc golf course!
Hotel
Mission Inn & Suites
We have booked an additional block of rooms at Mission Inn and Suites, for those who would like a lower price point than Chaminade. The hotel is only a two minute walk from the Friday night welcome party at Humble Sea, and the Saturday night afterparty at Mission West Bar. Please call the hotel directly at (831) 425-5455 and mention the Ellis/Persons wedding to receive the discounted rate. King, queen, and double queen rooms are available.
Travel Note
Additional Accommodations
There are plenty of additional hotels and Airbnbs in the Santa Cruz area, in case you're looking for a stay close to the beach or in the redwoods. Some recommended spots: - The Inn at Pasatiempo (on a golf course and less than 10 minutes from all the weekend's venues) - Dream Inn (beautiful hotel on Cowell's Beach, just around the corner from the Santa Cruz Wharf)
