Rental Car

SF, Oakland or San Jose Airports

You will need a car to get to and around Big Sur - if you'd like us to help you find a carpool group - reach out! Also, if you are planning to just come in to California for the wedding, consider San Jose Airport (SJC) which is a bit closer and sometimes cheaper than SFO or Oakland

Shuttle

Wedding (day of) Shuttle

June 8, 2019 4:00 pm - 10:00 pm

We are required to use a shuttle to get to the venue - details on that to come! But hey - everyone's got a driver!

Travel Note

Roadtrip playlist

For those driving longer distances, we made a playlist inspired by California, highway one, and all the things we’re excited to see there in summer. You can find it on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/1219331235/playlist/18UMT9Dhna9lXikALE33DA?si=ZYVmVHcHSxu1r_ Recommend you download it in advance since service can be spotty on the coast.

For all the days along the way
