  Travel
Venues & Directions

Getting to Laguna Beach

Friday traffic is unpredictable on the 405 freeway, highway CA-133 (the main access road east to the coast from the freeway) and Pacific Coast Highway (alternate route from adjacent beach cities to the north or south).

We are working on some transportation options - stay tuned.

We strongly recommend that guests plan to arrive in Laguna Beach before 3:00pm Friday to avoid the worst traffic and allow time for parking and checking into accommodations.

Getting around in Laguna Beach

All of our venues are within a 10-minute drive of each other in the city of Laguna Beach.

Carpool! Limited free or metered street parking is available in the neighborhoods around our venues. This is the off-season; parking spots can usually be found within 10 minutes.

Rideshare on us! Use our Lyft guest code to schedule a ride!

Take the free trolley! Provided by the city of Laguna Beach. The route stops a couple of blocks shy of the cross-street for the ceremony, but otherwise it runs directly to our other events and accommodations.

Walk! Many fun locations and beautiful beaches and hikes within walking distance from all venues.

We may stand/walk in the grass or adjacent hard gravel paths to take photos after the ceremony. Comfortable shoes are recommended. If this level of activity would be challenging for any guests, please let us know and we will arrange a more comfortable way to get from the curb to the seating area.

  FAQ

What should I wear?

Ceremony and dinner party on Friday evening:

Dressy casual
The ceremony will be outdoors in an area without shade. It may be sunny or breezy.
The average temp at this time of year and hour is 74 degrees, but it can be in the 80s if we are having a hot, dry spell.

Comfortable shoes recommended.
Guests will need to walk on concrete sidewalk or hard gravel paths for about 300 feet from parking/drop off to seating.
We may also walk or stand on the lawn for photos.

Same dress code for our dinner party immediately afterward at the restaurant,
which has an ambience of "fine dining."

Open-house reception on Saturday afternoon:

Festive casual.
Vintage artsy vibes of "Old Laguna" perhaps? Or your best Hawaiian shirt? Colorful and fun with a touch of glamor or novelty.
We hope you'll go explore Laguna and come back to the party as your home base for the afternoon.

We will take a professional group photo with everyone who is present at 3:00!

Comfortable shoes recommended.
Our party will be staged all throughout the yards and cottages, which are quite close together. Not much walking required, but you will be moving around on several surfaces - grassy lawn, sidewalk/asphalt, brick patio, short steps, dance floor!

It's likely to be in the high 70s and sunny. Shaded seating will be available outdoors.
The cottages are air-conditioned and will be open for indoor seating.

If you hang out with us until sunset, bring a hoodie or jacket.
It can be cool or windy at the beach.

Do you have a registry for gifts?

No registry. We treasure our time spent with you. In lieu of traditional gifts, we’d really love a card with a favorite photo, story, memory or recipe to remind us of our connection with you.

What can we do around town, before or after the celebration?

We love Laguna for the art and the outdoor beauty - so much to explore within walking or very short driving distance. The city has an excellent Visitor's Guide with maps and itineraries. Here are some of Kevin and Laurel's recommendations:

  • Go down on the sand: nice small waves, semi-pro beach volleyball, quiet and family-friendly areas just off the main beach, rock formations and tide pools.
  • Go up on the cliffs: our ceremony site on Friday at Crescent Point is just one of a dozen pocket parks and scenic outlooks that run along the coast. There are staircases up to the cliffs from the beach every few blocks, or you can walk out from PCH on the cliff level.
  • Go on your own art-walk: World-class galleries open to the public on almost every block. Our favorite section in North Laguna runs on PCH from Aster (Urth Caffe on the corner) north a few blocks. But you can find them all along PCH south of downtown, and on Forest Avenue downtown. There's also an excellent art museum.
  • With kids? Meet the locals: Check out the Pacific Marine Mammal rescue center on Laguna Canyon Road (you drove past it on your way into town on CA-133).
  • With kids? Alta Laguna Park, just a few minutes up the big hill from our cottages/reception! It has a big playground, tennis/pickleball and shade trees.
  • Right next to the park is the Top of the World scenic view and trailhead for several easy-to-hard foothill hikes.
  • Take a day or night hike in Crystal Cove, a lovely state park just a few minutes north of Laguna, on both sides of PCH.
  • Check out the Saturday morning Farmers Market on Forest Ave.

  • Fine dining favorites: Nirvana Kitchen or Nick's.
  • Casual dining: The Taco Stand or Gina's (but all the pizza around here is good)
  • For drinks + eats: South of Nick's (swanky) or Hennessey's (classic pub)
  • Late night drinks/clubs: Rooftop Lounge (or any other rooftop bar on one of the many hotels along the beach) or Sandpiper Lounge (dive bar, live music) or The Drake (upscale, jazz)
  • Treats: Le Macaron or South Swell for hand-dipped ice cream bars
  • Coffee: Urth Caffe or Laguna Coffee Co (and yes there is a Starbucks across from the main beach)
  • Groceries: Whole Foods (downtown) or Ralphs (on PCH walking distance from Laguna Cottages reception venue)
