Map to venue

The venue is two levels and has two points of access: one from the Monterey Coastal Trail, which is the bottom level and where the majority of the party will take place. There is another access point on the upper level from Wave street, which has stairs down to the bottom level.

*NOTE: these stairs are brick and steep, which can pose a risk to those who have trouble with stairs.

If you have trouble with stairs, we recommend:

1. Park at the Intercontinental Lot at 700 Wave Street. It says it's for hotel parking, but it is also open to the public as well (but it is not advertised). There is an elevator that goes all the way down to the ground floor and the venue is just to the left.

2. You can be dropped off at the opening of the Monterey Coastal trail closest to the venue, and it is just a short walk from there.

BOOK MONTEREY MARRIOTT DISCOUNTED ROOM BLOCK RATE HERE:

Note: Room block must be booked by May 23, 2024.

We've provided a few hotel options below, our venue is very central to downtown Monterey so there are several options just a short walk to The Barns at Cooper Molera.

Monterey Marriott
350 Calle Principal, Monterey, CA 93940

This is where the bride and groom will be staying and also where our room block is. A 5-minute walk from the venue, we recommend that guests utilize hotel parking.

Portola Hotel & Spa At Monterey Bay
Two Portola Plaza, Monterey, CA 93940

Portola Hotel is an upscale hotel in the Monterey area, this is also a 5-minute walk from the venue. We recommend that guests utilize hotel parking.

Monterey (MRY)
This is the best airport if flights are available from your location. Just a 5-minute Uber from the venue, but flight options may be more limited. For folks who do not want to rent a car, this is your best option. That being said, we highly recommend renting a car (ideally a convertible) to explore the beautiful Monterey / Carmel / Big Sur area down Highway 1 and making an extended weekend trip out of it!

San Jose (SJC)
We recommend this airport as it's a 1.5 hour to 2 hour drive from SJC to Monterey, easy car rental access, and has many flight options.

San Francisco (SFO)
Largest airport with the most flight options. 2+ hour drive and easy car rental access.

Car Rental
Rent a car when coming from SFO / SJC. You'll love exploring the Monterey / Carmel / Big Sur area, the drive down Highway 1 is legendary. Check out our FAQ tab to learn more!

Taxi
Uber / Lyft is available in downtown Monterey.

Parking
Street parking is challenging to find in downtown Monterey during the weekend. Parking is not provided at the venue, so leave your car at our recommended hotels which are a convenient 5-minute walk away!

On the wedding day:
For those who are not staying at a hotel, please utilize one of our recommended parking garages for the wedding day rather than attempting to find street parking.

For the welcome party
A good option is to park at Cannery Row Public Parking Garage, or take a short walk to the venue from downtown!

Can I bring my children?

Kids are welcome at our welcome party and the reception!

However, we ask that our ceremony be a distraction-free environment, so please remove your young children from the ceremony and re-join us for the reception!

What is the dress code?
Your best cocktail attire! The venue is indoor/outdoor so bring a jacket in case of cooler temps at night, we will have outdoor heaters to keep everyone comfy as well.

Our Friday Welcome Party is Casual, wear what you're comfortable in.

Is transportation provided?
Nope, the venue is just a short walking distance from our recommended hotels! Or you can take Uber / Lyft.

If you're not staying in downtown Monterey and/or driving, please utilize one of our recommended parking garages rather than attempting to find street parking (not going to happen in downtown Monterey).

For our Welcome Party at Wave Street Studios, you can take a short stroll along the Monterey Peninsula Recreational Trail (and see beautiful views of the ocean along the way) or Uber/Lyft to the event. If you want to park nearby our welcome party event venue, a close garage is the Cannery Row Public Parking Garage.

How can I select meal options?
The Barns specializes in elevated buffet-style dinners, so there will be plenty of options to choose from. Please indicate any dietary restrictions / food allergies in your RSVP form.

Monterey is very special to both of us. Here are a few places that we would love to share with you!

Point Lobos Natural State Reserve
Point Lobos Natural State Reserve, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA 93923

This is a must-see natural reserve when in the area, we love exploring the hiking trails here. Pro-tip! Parking requires an advance reservation, but it's easy to park along the road by the entrance and walk in for free!

Lovers Point Park
631 Ocean View Boulevard, Pacific Grove, CA 93950

We always go for a walk here when visiting! You can get there from downtown via the Monterey-Peninsula Recreation Trail. You're guaranteed to catch a glimpse of some sea otters!

Monterey Bay Aquarium
886 Cannery Row, Monterey, CA 93940

Fun for both kids and adults! This aquarium is world-renowned.

17 Mile Drive and Carmel-by-the-Sea

See the amazing coastal views that the Carmel coast has to offer, then explore the cute downtown of Carmel! We love to grab a coffee and Carmel Coffee House and walk down to Carmel Sunset Beach.
