What time should I arrive and where is the celebration?
Please arrive at the venue by 3:45. The ceremony begins at 4PM and we want to make sure everyone is comfortably seated for when it starts. You can arrive as early as 3:30PM. The venue is at Hidden Valley Music Seminars located at 104 W Carmel Valley Road in Carmel Valley.
Will there be parking at the event?
Yes! After driving down the steep driveway into Hidden Valley there will be a large field with cones to park cars.
Will the reception be at the same place as the ceremony?
Yes! It is all at the same location.
Is the area wheelchair accessible?
Yes! It is mostly unpaved, but the ground is sturdy.
Where is the closest airport?
The Monterey Regional Airport is the closest, but it is very small. A larger airport is in San Jose, but is about an hour and a half drive from the venue.
Are children invited?
We love your little ones! However, children are asked to stay home in order to have an adults-only event. We love you and your children and encourage you to use this evening as a "night out" for yourself!
Any recommended babysitters in the area?
Yes! We highly recommend the following babysitters:
1. Lucia Valdez (831) 238-6883
2. McKenna Ellis (831) 915-1183
Are pets welcome?
We ask that you leave your furry loved ones at home so you can enjoy the night out and because only service animals are allowed at the venue.
Can I bring a date?
Your invitation will specify how many seats have been saved in your honor.
When do I RSVP by?
Please RSVP by September 5, 2024 by clicking the RSVP tab in the menu above.
What if I don't RSVP in time?
We ask that you RSVP by September 5th, but understand if something comes up. The very latest we can accept RSVPs is two weeks prior to the event.
What should I wear?
Cocktail or garden party. Aim for a balance between formal and comfortable.
What kind of shoes should I wear?
Whatever shoes you feel comfortable in. Please keep in mind that Hidden Valley has some areas of grass, rocks, and dirt terrain.
Will there be an open bar?
Yes! We will have a small selection of beer and wine as well as two signature cocktails. There will also be a variety of nonalcoholic drinks. The drinks are on us and the hangover is on you!
How will I get home?
Carmel Valley is pretty rural, so we recommend planning ahead if you are hoping to use Lyft or Uber services.
