The ceremony will be held outdoors on the sand in Garrapata State Beach. Just off of Highway 1 in Big Sur. Follow the well marked trail to a staircase that takes you down to the beach for the wedding. It will be small, intimate, and standing only. Due to the state park regulations we can only allow a max of 18 guests. The beach is rocky and windy so please dress appropriately. In April, we expect temperatures average 65 degrees. Please note: restrooms are very limited in the area including the drive to the beach!
Carmel offers several hotel options, however we are not offering any blocked hotel rooms at this time. Instead, we will be reserving a private home large enough to host some of our guests (10-15 guests). Please contact Ruby or Ashley for more details.
There will be parking available at the State Park. It is a State Park so there may be a fee per car. We can coordinate with guests meeting us at the Airbnb to carpool as well.
No, the ceremony will be held at Garrapata Beach. The reception will be held at the private home rental, exact address will be provided.
We do have a wedding registry provided on this site. Since the majority of our guests will be flying to California we kindly request guests NOT bring gifts to the wedding. Our home address in Dallas will be provided if you so generously wish to send us a gift.
