Where should we stay? Carmel Valley or Carmel-By-The-Sea?
If you’d like to be closer to the venue and proximity to our events is most important for you, we recommend finding a hotel in Carmel Valley because that is where Holman Ranch is located. Otherwise, and especially if it’s your first time to the area, we’d recommend staying in town in Carmel-by-the-Sea as it’s super walkable and close to many things to do- including the ocean and beach!
How far is the wedding venue from Carmel-By-The Sea?
Holman Ranch is ~20 minute drive from downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea.
When should I book my housing accommodations?
We recommend booking your housing ASAP as July is a popular month in Carmel Valley & Carmel-By-The-Sea.
Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the venue?
Shuttles will be provided on Saturday to/from Carmel-by-the-Sea and Carmel Valley. Check out the Transportation tab for more details!
Is there a dress code?
Black-tie optional for the wedding, but bring coats as Carmel Valley can become chilly at night.
Are there any other events I should know about?
Yes, see the Schedule page for more information on the Welcome Party and After Party.
Can I bring my kid(s)?
We love you and your little ones, but unfortunately due to capacity we're unable to host everyone's children at the venue.
Can we drive to the venue and will there be parking?
Yes and yes. We'd prefer for people to take the group shuttle transportation that we've arranged so that you don't need to worry about driving, but there will be parking on-site for anyone who prefers to drive themselves.
