Do you have a hotel room block?

Unfortunately, no. It got to be too difficult due to festivals, peak wedding season in this area, & too much back and forth with hotels. We wanted to focus on being able to provide you a lovely dinner and all of your yummy drinks!

Can we bring our children to the ceremony/reception?

Not for this event...we adore your kids but please leave them at home. We want you to fully relax and soak in the beautiful atmosphere of our venue!

WHAT IS THE PREFERRED DRESS ATTIRE?

Cocktail/Semi-Formal

Where should we stay?

Under our "travel section" you can find more info on close hotel/inn options in Carmel Valley as well as a few other reasonable options in Monterey for that time of year. There are a number of other motels/inns/hotels in Monterey/Carmel...yet it is a busy time of year for this area...so as soon as you can...start looking and book where you feel comfortable!

DO YOU HAVE A GIFT REGISTRY?

No...just the fact you are coming to our wedding is gift enough for us! However, if you do feel obliged to give us a gift, we thought we would focus on "experience" rather than "things." That being said, we have started saving for our dream honeymoon to the Maldives, and if you so feel inclined, any contribution would be welcome. We decided to skip the middle man of websites and simply use Zelle and Venmo. For Zelle, Colleen's phone # is 1 (408) 839-4677 and Jake's phone # is 1 (408) 931-2079. Our Venmo usernames are as follows: @Colleen-Wozny @jiveAtron

When does the reception end?

The invites states 10pm, but we have now extended the end time to 11pm, so come ready to dance!!!

Do you have a shuttle service for guests?

Unfortunately, we do not. Once again, guests are staying at many different hotels throughout Carmel and Monterey, it got to be too difficult to coordinate. If you plan on needing transportation home, try to arrange ahead of time with a ride share service in the area- it can be difficult to find an Uber, etc. at 11pm at night where the venue is located.

Where do guests park?

Both valet and self-parking are available at Bernardus Lodge & Spa. Valet parking is complimentary, with gratuities being at the discretion of the guests.
