Though we are not hosting a formal "night before", we would still love to spend time with friends and family before the madness of the wedding night. There is a bar on the harbor in Half Moon Bay called Old Princeton Landing (OPL). They are a casual bar with a great outdoor music venue and there is local food (big emphasis on the daily catch!) being served up at the attached food stand.

We will update you on timing as the date approaches, but we plan on spending the better part of that evening catching up with loved ones in one of our beloved local spots. We hope to see you there! (hint: we're thinking 6:30-9:30 ish!)

Half Moon Bay hosts their seasonal farmer's market near the downtown right off Highway 1 on Saturday mornings. There are some great local breakfast spots (Johnny's is the best!) as well as cute coffee shops (Rebyl is great). If you would like to take some time to explore the coast, we highly recommend going to downtown Pescadero- a 1 block downtown just south of Half Moon Bay. Just beyond that is the beach where we got engaged, Bean Hollow. It is one of the most beautiful beaches you will find on the North Coast.

You really can't go wrong on the coast but if you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out to either of us. We have lived near the coast for many years and have so many recommendations! Just remember to get some rest for the evening ahead!

If you are staying on the coast, there will be a shuttle from the Harbor in Half Moon Bay to take you to and from the Mountain House Restaurant. If you're local/staying on the Peninsula we will have a smaller shuttle that will leave from the brother of the groom's house in San Mateo.

Our ceremony will be short and sweet! Please note that it is an outdoor ceremony and due to the terrain in the redwoods, it will be a standing ceremony.

This will be followed by one of the best meals you will find on the Peninsula. The entire restaurant is ours for the night so there will be lots of time to enjoy the front bar and snap some photos in the vintage photo booth.

Dinner will be followed by a quick cocktail hour and then the live band will take us through the rest of our night! Bring your dancing shoes!
