We recommend everyone stays in Stinson Beach, a quiet hamlet a 15 minute drive from the wedding venue. We’re excited to have all of our people concentrated in our favorite stretch of California’s coast.

We've put together a list below of recommended lodging (scroll down to see more).

FYI - we’ll be offering a shuttle from Stinson Beach to and from the venue on the day of the wedding.

San Francisco (SFO) and Oakland (OAK) airports are both 1hr from Stinson Beach.

We recommend renting a car. There is so much to explore within a 20 minute drive of Stinson Beach - great hiking, beautiful coastline, delicious oysters, and more.

Heads up - the coastal route (CA Route 1) into Stinson Beach is not for the fainthearted. Winding, cliffside turns, but a beautiful drive.

There is an inland alternative route via Panoramic Highway.

We’ll be arranging a shuttle from Stinson Beach to take you to and from the wedding - exact pick-up location to be confirmed.

We strongly recommend against driving yourself to the wedding - the road from Stinson Beach to the Inn is no joke, and won’t be easier late at night!

We’ll post the shuttle schedule closer to the wedding date.

See something you like? We recommend you book at least four months in advance- there is limited lodging in the Stinson Beach area.

That said, many Airbnbs and VRBOs are not bookable until 6 months in advance - check back in July to see what’s available, or contact the host if you really have the hots for a place.

Winter formal. Dark suits for men, fun, fancy, wintery dresses for women. Floor length dresses not required. Winter layers encouraged!

Here’s some inspiration we put together!

Weather permitting…

Our welcome party at Smiley’s Saloon will be outdoors. There will be heaters and an indoor bar if it’s cold and/or rainy.

Our wedding ceremony will be outdoors followed by cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing inside.

We will have blankets for both events, but please bring a layer to stay warm!
