Due to volume, Yosemite is enforcing reservations on weekends during this time. We strongly advise if you plan to visit the park on the Sunday after the wedding or plan to arrive the week before, please make a reservation. Reservations are not required on weekdays. Passes can be purchased at the park entrance for $35 per vehicle. Park passes are typically good for 7 days. For those traveling to California, and planning to spend time at another National Park this year, you can buy an America The Beautiful pass, which will grant access to all national parks for one year for $80. The town of Oakhurst, where the venue is, is about a 30-minute drive to the South Entrance of Yosemite.
Fresno (FAT) is the closest airport. Merced (MCE) is also nearby. For more information please see this link: https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/airports.htm You can also fly into airports in the San Francisco Bay Area: San Francisco (SFO), Oakland (OAK), or San Jose (SJC), particularly if you plan to see friends or family in the Bay before or after the wedding. Please see the "Travel" section of this wedding website for more details.
We have room blocks at the Best Western Plus and the Hampton Inn, both of which are in Oakhurst, CA, near the venue. You can also check out the sister hotel, the Sierra Sky Ranch. Please see the "Travel" section of this wedding website for more details.
No children or babies at the wedding please. Thank you for understanding. Note that children can still come with you if you would like to make a Yosemite family vacation out of the wedding trip, we just ask that they stay at the hotel for the evening of the wedding ceremony and reception.
Dogs are not allowed, thank you for understanding.
Yes! We have arranged shuttles to be picking up from the hotels where there are room blocks. I you have opted for a VRBO or AirBNB, please feel free to catch one of the shuttles from either the Best Western, Hampton Inn, or Sierra Sky Ranch. Times schedule TBD, stay tuned. We highly recommend using the shuttles, as there is no cell service or wifi, so no Uber or Lyft will be available to/from the venue most likely.
