Wedding at Oceano Hotel & Spa

Published on
July 11, 2024

Nestled right next to the harbor in Half Moon Bay, Oceano Hotel & Spa is a popular wedding venue for those looking for a classic & elegant setting for their special day.

Where to Park & How to Enter

Parking is mostly easily found in the parking lot of the Shoppes at Harbor Village. This parking lot is directly in front of the entry to both the hotel and the ceremony space, which can be found on the North side of the shopping center. As with any wedding, I always recommend arriving 15-30 minutes early to find both a parking spot and the ceremony location.

Getting Ready at Oceano Hotel & Spa

Many couples choose to book suites & villas at the hotel in order to stay & get ready in! Being so nearby is always convenient on your special day when you ideally want to have access to all of your belongings and a bed after all that partying. There are also other rooms that are typically available for day-of use for things like getting ready photos & putting details on. The staff here at Oceano is incredible and always goes above and beyond for their wedding clients. I cannot recommend them enough!
