A MESSAGE FROM SUZANNE &amp; JUSTIN Hi, everyone! We can’t believe our wedding weekend has finally arrived. We are so grateful to be able to celebrate with all of you. We have a few updates and requests of each of you to ensure that we all have a wonderful time for the whole weekend! 1. When you check in at Asilomar, whether or not you booked your room through the wedding block, please let them know you’re here for the Hamstra-Leventhal wedding so they know to give you your welcome bag! 2. Please wear nothing scented! The bride and her mother are both highly scent sensitive and really don’t want to have any asthma attacks this weekend. This includes perfume, cologne, scented lotion, heavily scented hair products, etc. We are asking you all to help us have a scent-free celebration. Let’s enjoy the smell of the ocean air instead! 3. Cannabis products are legal recreationally here in California, and we want everyone to have whatever kind of fun they want. However, we have a guest with a serious allergy to all cannabinoid/hemp based products. If you plan to partake in those over the weekend, please be sure to wash your hands after use to keep all of our guests safe. Thank you all for coming and helping to make our wedding a wonderful time for everyone!

A Few Updates

Q + A

For those traveling from far away, the nearest airport is Monterey Regional (MRY), but flight options may be limited. Direct flights from DC only go to San Francisco Airport (SFO), but San Jose International (SJC) is another major airport in the area. Shuttles can be booked from any of these airports to Asilomar. It is approximately a 2.5 hour drive from SFO, a 1.5 hour drive from SCJ, and an easy 15 minutes from MRY. Any of these drives are beautiful and scenic. Plan whatever travel makes the most sense for you! We encourage you to stay at Asilomar with us so that we can all enjoy the long wedding weekend together and take advantage the amenities and the beauty of Asilomar State Park. As the wedding venue and hotel are on State Park lands, these are likely the most affordable accommodations available in the area. However, if you do not wish to stay in rustic rooms (for example, there is WiFi but no TV), there are plenty of other hotels and inns nearby. We are only providing a wedding bloc at Asilomar. We look forward to bonfires, nature walks, tide pooling, and more as we celebrate with you!

There isn’t a room block code. Just use this link and it will take you directly to book within the wedding block!
