House RENTALS
We have reserved blocks of rooms at some local hotels/B&Bs, but one of the best ways to enjoy the weekend with friends and family is to rent one of the numerous houses in and around Carmel-by- the-Sea. Check out www.VRBO.com or www.AirBnB.com
HOTELs
Blocks of rooms have been reserved at the following hotels/B&Bs. Several types of rooms will be available, so rates will vary. Mention the Linden-Rodgers Wedding to receive the wedding block discount. Please book early as all of the hotels release the blocks 30-60 days prior to the wedding. Additionally, several of these are smaller B&Bs and this is one of the busiest months on the peninsula so we encourage you to reserve rooms as soon as possible.

The weather in Carmel is usually beautiful at this time of year! The temperature during the day is often in the 70s with cool nights in the 50s. It can be foggy at times, though. The best way to be prepared is to dress in layers. Many of the weekend events are outdoors, including the ceremony, so please be sure to have a sweater, light shawl or jacket with you at all times.
For the ladies, keep in mind, much of the wedding day will be outside (in a forest, on a lawn, etc.) and will involve walking so please bring appropriate shoes like wedges, flats or sandals!
