Shuttle

Shuttles

July 31, 2021 2:15 pm - 12:30 am

All shuttles will depart to bring you to Holman Ranch promptly at 2:15 pm. Please be on time! We will be providing shuttle service from both Monterey & Carmel-by-the-Sea to take you to the venue, after-party (optional), and back home at the end of the night. CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA: Pick-up and Drop-off will be at Carmel Plaza on Junipero Road just south of Ocean Ave. We recommend walking from your hotel or driving/Ubering to the Plaza. MONTEREY: Pick-up and drop-off will be at the Embassy Suites at Monterey Bay (Seaside). Limited parking is available in the hotel lot, so we recommend walking from your hotel or driving/Ubering to the shuttle. Once the reception ends at 10 pm, you will have the option to take a shuttle back to Carmel/Monterey or continue the celebration with us at Holman Tavern. Shuttles will leave Holman Tavern at approximately 11:15 pm and 12:30 am.

Travel Note

Choosing Your Hotel

Summertime in Monterey County is gorgeous, so hotels in Carmel-by-the-Sea are already booking up quickly. Please book as soon as you can to avoid higher prices! From what we've seen, cancellations are quite flexible. We recommend prioritizing Carmel by the Sea for the most fun in the area, but neighboring areas to explore are Carmel Valley, Carmel Highlands, Monterey, and Seaside. We will coordinate shuttle drop-offs at both Carmel Plaza and at the Embassy Suites in Monterrey, so all are within reasonable distance! Anything close by our recommendations is great!

Travel Note

Uber and Lyft

Uber and Lyft are usually available in downtown Carmel and in Monterey! However, they will not pick up in Carmel Valley with much reliability. Plan to use our shuttles on the big day, and if you must Uber you can schedule your ride ahead of time from wherever you'd like!

Flight

Monterey Regional Airport (MRY)

Monterey Airport will get you within 10 minutes of the weekend's action in Carmel and even closer to several hotel options. It has direct service to and from various major west coast airports and can be reached with a connection if you're coming from a bit further away.

Flight

SAN JOSE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (SJC)

If your can't easily get to Monterey Regional Airport, go for San Jose! You'll have a beautiful hour-and-a-half drive down to Carmel, so you'll likely need to rent a car.
