Travel Note

Transportation & Parking

Rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft are widely available throughout Carlsbad and the greater San Diego area and are a convenient option for traveling to and from the venue, especially if you plan to enjoy the evening’s cocktails. On-site parking will be available at the Carlsbad Windmill for guests who prefer to drive. If you plan to use a taxi or local cab service, please note that some drivers may not accept credit cards. We recommend carrying a small amount of cash, just in case. Traffic along I-5 and Highway 78 can be heavier during peak hours, so we suggest allowing a little extra travel time — particularly for arrival before the ceremony — so you can settle in and enjoy the evening without feeling rushed.

Local Tips

If you find yourself with a little extra time, we hope you’ll enjoy exploring the area and taking in the relaxed coastal charm of Carlsbad. Carlsbad Village is just a short drive away and offers a variety of local coffee shops, casual dining, and boutique shopping. The nearby coastline features beautiful walking paths and ocean views that are perfect for a quiet morning stroll or a moment to unwind before the celebration. If you’re looking for a cozy spot to start your day, the village is full of charming cafés and local bakeries perfect for a slow morning and good conversation. For a simple and scenic outing, the Carlsbad State Beach and surrounding coastal trails provide an easy way to enjoy the ocean breeze and California sunshine. We hope your time here feels less like a trip and more like a small getaway — a chance to slow down, explore, and enjoy the beautiful setting as we celebrate together.
