Shuttles to & from the venue

September 19, 2026 3:00 pm - 10:15 pm

Pick up and drop off location: Seacliff Inn Aptos. Because our beautiful venue is off the beaten path, and rideshare apps (Uber/Lyft) WILL NOT PICK UP FROM THE VENUE, we are arranging a shuttle service to provide transportation for a limited number of guests. *You will be able to secure your spot when you RSVP after receiving formal invitations (not save the dates).* We highly recommend using the shuttle service if you plan on drinking, or are not comfortable driving on windy, narrow, un-lit mountain roads. You will be able to call rideshares from the shuttle stop.
