ADDRESS:
Timber Cove Resort
21780 Coast Hwy #1
Jenner, CA 95450

If driving from Sacramento or San Francisco, budget extra time for Bay Area traffic. And while the Pacific Coast Highway is breathtaking by day, it can be winding and dark at night - please drive carefully!

Pro Tips:
• Program your GPS before you get to the coast - cell service can be spotty!
• Renting a car? Reserve early, especially if you're flying into the smaller Santa Rosa (STS) airport.

We’re so excited to have exclusive access to Timber Cove for the whole weekend — it’s a breathtaking spot right on the coast, and we’ve reserved rooms for each of our guests on property (yes, there’s one with your name on it!).

You should have already received an email from us with everything you need to know—including your room reservation and the contact information for our incredible planner, Lorie. If, for some reason, you didn’t receive that email, no stress—just reach out to Lorie directly and she’ll get you all squared away.

We’re asking guests to stay a minimum of two nights to make the most of the weekend together—think bonfires, ocean breezes, starry nights, impromptu lawn games, and all the in-between moments that turn into the best memories. If you're thinking of extending your stay, let Lorie know so that she can coordinate with Timber Cove.

Prefer to stay nearby? Below are some suggested alternatives:

1) Fort Ross Lodge: <1 mile away from Timber Cove. Fort Ross Lodge offers a boutique number of rooms.

2) Sea Ranch Lodge: 18 miles north (29 minutes). The Sea Ranch area also has many Airbnb options.

3) Lodge at Bodega Bay: 25 miles south (44 minutes). Bodega Bay also has additional hotels in the area.

There will be plenty of complimentary parking available on property throughout the weekend. Once you park, you won't need to move your car unless you want to adventure out and explore. There is a Level 2 charging station on site for those who may be driving EVs.

October is a typically one of the most beautiful times of year along the Sonoma coast: sunny days in the low 70s, cool evenings in the low 50s, and that signature salty breeze that likes to show up unannounced. Rain is a rare guest this time of year but its always smart to bring a light jacket - just in case the fog rolls in with some drama. Basically, it's coastal California doing what it does best. Think: sunny by day, sweater weather by night.

Think California Chic - relaxed, stylish, ready for anything.

You’ll be lounging, stretching, toasting, dancing, hiking (maybe), bean-bag tossing (definitely), and laughing a whole lot—so pack accordingly.

Layers are your best friend (coastal weather loves surprises), and comfy shoes will serve you well for lawn games, wandering around the property, and busting a move on the dance floor. The good news? Your room - with your extra layers and backup shoes-is never more than a short stroll away.

For the ceremony and reception on Sunday, think: elevated but effortless
• LADIES: Flowy dresses, playful prints, chic jumpsuits - anything that moves well with champagne in hand. Heels are optional—wedges or sandals work perfectly.
• GENTS: Skip the tie. Embrace crisp shirts, breezy blazers, linen suits - whatever you’d wear to an elevated dinner party by the sea.
• ALL: Look polished, feel great, be dance-floor ready.

Need help with what to wear for Friday’s welcome party, Saturday’s shenanigans, or Monday’s carb-fueled farewell? Check out the Our Wedding Weekend section of the site.

TL;DR (Too Long; Didn’t Read):
• Bring layers
• Bring shoes you can play (and dance) in
• Pack one outfit that makes you feel unstoppable
• Don’t overthink it—we just want you comfy, happy, and ready for fun

We have opted for an UNPLUGGED ceremony, and we kindly ask that there are no phones or cameras during our wedding ceremony.

That said, the rest of the weekend is very much a photo-op. Snap away! We definitely want to see the weekend through your eyes too.

Yes! We will have a variety of options to meet specific dietary needs. If you have any allergies or restrictions, please let us know when you RSVP.
