When
The weekend of 7th-9th July, 2006. A loose schedule of
events:
Friday afternoon/evening, 7th July: Sometime after our
formal obligations are done, we'd like to hold a Welcome gathering at the Old
Western Saloon in Point Reyes Station (415-663-1661, west side of Main Street,
which is also Highway One). It's a five minute drive from Olema. It'll be a
great time to catch up with old friends, and make some new ones.
Saturday, 8th July: Guests can organize their own
morning and mid-day activities. The surrounding area is beautiful - we
definitely recommend a hike, a walk on the beach or any of the activities below.
Ceremony begins at 4 o'clock in the afternoon,
followed by a cocktail hour, which will flow into an evening Reception, which will flow into much merry-making, all
on-site at The Olema Inn (see below).
Note on formality — our setting can be described as
"simple and beautiful" - elegant, but not stiff. Please join
us in attire that celebrates the occasion and allows you to enjoy the
moment. (Some have asked whether the men will be wearing suits. You'll
be a little overdressed if you show up in a tuxedo or a morning suit
(unless you're in the wedding party!) and a little underdressed in a
polo shirt. Anything in between would be just fine.)
Sunday, 9th July: 10am A relaxed Brunch at the Olema Inn for
those staying in Olema (followed by a little World Cup soccer), followed by long, leisurely good-byes.
(See more detailed schedule.)

Lodging
6/24/06 update: our previously reserved rooms have now been made
available to the general public. However, some establishments do still
have one or two rooms available. Please call directly and the proprietors
will let you know their availability.
We'd be delighted if you stayed with us in Olema. We have reserved
three small inns / bed & breakfasts within walking distance
(~ 1/2 mile) of the Olema Inn. There are many more less than ten minutes
away by car (see link below). Your next step is to 1) choose one you
like, and 2) call or email the proprietors and reserve or transfer a room into your name.
If not transferred into a guest's name, our pre-reserved rooms will be released 45 days prior our wedding date to the general public
- around May 20th. Act now to find one that suits your needs, and transfer
it to your name and credit card.
Internet reservation systems for the first three sites below will likely show
"all rooms booked" for our wedding weekend. When you call or email them
directly, however, just let the proprietors know you are with the Laurence/Hyde
wedding. They'll be happy to help.
Once you know if you can join us, please do act quickly to solidify your
arrangements. July is part of "high season" on the Pt. Reyes peninsula.
Remember that any rooms left un-transferred 45 days prior will be released to
the general public.
All rooms are held with the following establishments,
and are within 1/2 mile of The Olema Inn:
- Roundstone
Farm B&B — five guest rooms, each with fireplace (as of June 1,
three rooms still avail - will be released to non-wedding guests on June 5)
- Olema Cottages
— separate cottages, good location for families with kids (two rooms available, all cottages taken)
-
Bear Valley Inn
— good value, great service (full)
The following are not pre-reserved, but are nice options
(move quickly on these!):
Travel Guide Miscellany
Wondering about the weather in July on the Pt. Reyes peninsula?
In a word, pleasant.
On 8th July, it could be bright sunshine in the low 80s F (the
average daily temperature is 84F / 29C), or it could be overcast/foggy in the
upper 60s F.
The
current forecast is for sunny weather. There's virtually no chance of rain, snow, hurricanes or tornadoes, but there is a 30% chance of fog.
It gets cool in the evening (unless you're a vigorous dancer), so bring a sweater.
If you have extra time to spend in the area, here are some things to do:
