The dress code for our wedding is formal attire: for men, a tuxedo or suit with a tie or bow tie, and for women, formal, floor-length gowns. We can't wait to see everyone looking their best!
The ceremony will be indoors at the San Carlos Cathedral. The cocktail hour will be outdoors in the courtyard of Tehama Golf Club, and the reception will be indoors in the ballroom at Tehama Golf Club. While we will have outdoor heaters in the courtyard during cocktail hour, we highly recommend bringing a warm coat as the ocean breeze can bring a chill as the evening sets in.
Please plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before the ceremony begins so you will have plenty of time to get settled and find your seat. We will be starting promptly at 1pm, and we wouldn't want you to miss any of it!
We are having a device-free ceremony. We kindly ask that you turn off your phones so as to not disrupt the ceremony and refrain from taking photos as we’ll have a professional photographer capturing all the special moments.
You can find street parking or utilize public parking lots near San Carlos Cathedral. A few nearby parking lots:
1) Lot #24: Located between Cannery Row and Foam Street
2) San Carlos Beach Park: Located between Cannery Row and Reeside Avenue
3) Breakwater Lot: Situated by the Coast Guard Pier at the south end of Cannery Row
Cocktail hour is 4-5pm and a dinner reception will be immediately following. We ask that you plan to arrive no later than 4:45pm. We understand that the gap between a Catholic church ceremony and reception is not ideal, but unfortunately, it was unavoidable. However, this gives you a little time to explore the beautiful towns of Carmel and Monterey and get a glimpse into why we love this area so much! Take a look at the 'Activities' section on our website for some of our recommendations of things to do in the area. Trust us, time will fly and you'll wish you had more of it to explore and enjoy the beautiful towns!
Enter "Tehama Golf Club" into Google Maps. You will need to pass through two security gates. Upon arrival at each gate, please provide your first and last name and let them know you are headed to Tehama Golf Club for the Gambrioli wedding. After passing the second gate, please follow the signs to the "Clubhouse". When you pull up to the Clubhouse entrance, there will be a prepaid valet service waiting to park your car for you.
Yes! We’re pleased to offer complimentary valet service at Tehama Golf Club for all our guests. When you arrive, simply pull up to the entrance where a valet attendant will be there to take care of your vehicle. Once you've handed off your keys, you can head straight into the courtyard for cocktail hour.
Of course! We have a fantastic playlist lined up and can’t wait to hit the dance floor with all of you. Whether you’re a dancer or just enjoy music, we hope you’ll join in on the fun!
While we love your children, our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. We hope you'll enjoy this evening out as a special night to relax and celebrate with us. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope you can join us for this special day! If you need help finding a sitter or recommendations for childcare, please don’t hesitate to ask as we'd be happy to help!
We’re so glad you’re excited to celebrate with us! Due to limited space and venue capacity, we are only able to accommodate the guests formally listed on the invitation. We hope you understand, and we can’t wait to share this special day with you!
