Venue & Travel
A mountain-road drive, a hilltop garden, Monterey Bay below.
Venue
Hollins House sits above Santa Cruz in Pasatiempo — a short, winding drive from Highway 17. The closest airports are SJC, SFO, and OAK; Highway 17 can back up, so leave buffer.
Planning Ahead
We are still finalizing a few details. This page will be updated, and important changes will also be shared directly with guests.

Guests are welcome to choose any hotel, vacation rental, or Airbnb that works for them. Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley are both convenient bases.
Parts of the celebration are planned for lawn and outdoor surfaces. Consider shoes that feel steady on grass, bring a layer, and contact Zach or Megan directly for mobility or other access needs.
Around Town
August days can be warm, but evenings above the bay cool quickly. Outdoor heat lamps are planned, and we still recommend bringing a layer.
Highway 17 earns its reputation. Leave extra time.
Beaches, redwoods, and the boardwalk all reward a slow morning. We will add a few personal favorites closer to the weekend.
