Big Sur area site - 010202greenery

One of our most popular elopement sites in Big Sur is actually a place where you can book a private, intimate cabin in the redwoods. It encompasses acres of of old growth redwoods as well as a ceremony lawn alongside the Big Sur River.

They have a couple of options for an elopement-style wedding:

If you reserve lodging there and book your package with Blue Sky Elopements, and it is just the two of you, an officiant and a photographer for the ceremony, they will allow you to be married on their grounds at no additional charge.

Alternatively, if you have guests, they also offer a larger vacation home on the property. Fees change frequently for this private option, but start at $2,400 per night with a two-night minimum. Contact us for updated rates if this site is of interest.


What we love about this site:

  • It's just the two of you, it's a fabulous value and a way to book a high end venue essentially for free (it's included in the cost of your lodging).

  • Easy to access for all mobility levels.

  • Get ready, be married, do photos and have your post-ceremony celebration all in one place.


Potential drawbacks of this site

  • It's only free if you have no guests.

  • The cabins run about $800 a night to reserve.

  • The vacation rental is an idyllic redwood retreat for a micro-wedding, but it's pricey.

  • No dogs allowed.

Accessibility


Parking: is limited at the site. Weddings with more than 25 guests require a shuttle service. Note: a shuttle in Big Sur is the best way to go even if your guest list is below 25. The highway can be windy and tricky to navigate and cell phone service is spotty. Having all your guests in one mode of transportation saves a lot of headaches.


Access from parking: Accessible for all. Site is ADA compliant.


Additional Logistics

Dogs: no.


Bathrooms: yes (in your own private cabin).


Suitable for children: yes.


Max vehicles accommodated: up to four (4) cars in addition to those of your ceremony vendors.


Max number of guests at this site: 30.


Type of site: private, reservable, ceremony site included with lodging (couple only).


Availability: year-round.

Reservations and Fees


There is no site fee if you are having a couple-only elopement and book a cabin for a minimum of one night's lodging (although we recommend staying both the night before and the night of your wedding in order to avoid having to check in or out on your wedding day).

Accommodations for the vacation rental start at $2,400 per night and that has a two-night minimum.
