The ceremony is on the beach, so your chair will be in the sand. Shoes are optional. The reception is at the same site, but indoors. You’re welcome to still be barefoot since you will be in and out all evening enjoying the fires on the beach.

Parking is 1.90 an hour, so it would be about $12 if you are at the wedding the entire time. If your hotel is close you can also walk or Uber to avoid parking fees.

There are about 200 hotels within a 1 mile radius.

No, it is right across the street. You will walk right onto the porch of Monterey Beach Station venue and walk around to the steps that lead you to the beach. You aren’t walking in actual sand until you walk down the few steps from the porch.

Formal wedding attire although the ceremony is on the beach. Again, you’re welcome to remove your shoes. We are not requiring guests to wear a specific color or anything. Wear what makes you happy and dressy!

No, the venue will not allow outside alcohol. There will be a host bar with beer and wine, but you are welcome to purchase any other cocktails.
