Travel & Stay

Since Big Sur is a fairly remote area, we have provided accommodation recommendations in both Carmel (the closest town to the north) and Big Sur. That being said, you can stay anywhere you'd like in the Carmel/Monterey area and park at the shuttle stop for our wedding. If you'd like to stay in Big Sur but somewhere other than our room block, please let us know! We're happy to provide other recs. Many hotels in Big Sur have strict policies about coming for a wedding and staying outside a room block. Let us know and we can see if we can work around it! We recommend flying into San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC) or San Francisco (SFO). You will likely need a rental car to make the drive down to Carmel or Big Sur, wherever you end up staying. However, there are public transportation options listed as well. Let us know if you'd like us to connect you with folks to carpool or share rentals!
