You say you haven't square-danced since third grade gym class? This may be the night you've been waiting for. Come relax from your journey, reconnect with old friends, and meet your fellow wedding guests at the Mission Ranch in Carmel. Dress is California casual, but be sure to wear your dancing shoes! Cowboy boots encouraged. Children are welcome.

Wedding 4:00 pm

The Post Ranch Inn
Highway 1
Big Sur, CA 93920

Wedding ceremony, cocktails, dinner, and dancing.
Post Ranch is located on the ocean (west) side of Highway 1 in Big Sur, approximately 45 minutes south of Carmel. Highway 1 is treacherous and parking at Post Ranch is limited, so please plan to take the shuttle, which will run frequently between Carmel and Big Sur throughout the night.

Footwear update: The ceremony will take place in a redwood grove which requires a short walk on earthen paths. Cocktails will be served in a grassy meadow. All other events during the evening will take place on solid surfaces! Bring a wrap in case the night is cool.
