Cocktail attire. Dress shirt/pant or suit would be appropriate for men. Cocktail dress, jumpsuit, etc. would be appropriate for women. For the beach ceremony, we recommend having a warm jacket or coat. Please be prepared to walk in the sand, so consider opting for wedges or thick heels over stilettos.
Both! The ceremony will be outdoors on the beach and the reception will be indoors. The temperature in Carmel during this time of year is in the high 50s during the day and mid 40s in the evening. We are keeping a close eye on if there is rain in the forecast and will reach out if there are any changes due to weather.
There is roadside parking at the ceremony site, MONASTERY BEACH (Highway 1 North of Point Lobos, Carmel, CA 93923). We would like to encourage carpooling from the reception site if at all possible to minimize the number of cars and ensure that no one is walking a longer distance to the ceremony. There is ample parking at the reception site, CARMEL FIELDS (4860 Carmel Valley Road, Carmel, CA 93923), which is a 5-10 drive to the ceremony. You are welcome to leave your car overnight if needed to safely Uber home after the celebration.
We love your kids—we really do. But we want our wedding to be your night off!
There will be appetizers and a dinner buffet that should accommodate most dietary restrictions and preferences. Please let us know if you have specific dietary needs. And there will be an open bar:)
