Big Sur Planners — Common Questions
What happens if the road closes?
Nothing you can drive around, because there is no alternative route. Closures happen for slides and weather and can last well beyond a day. That is why couples marrying here are advised to have everyone on the correct side of the closure a day early rather than arriving on the morning.
Is it true we may not be able to phone people?
In much of the area, yes. Coverage is patchy to absent, so the usual method of running a wedding day, calling whoever is late, does not work. Plans here have to be written down, agreed in advance and left with the people who need them, because there is no fixing it in the moment.
How does that change the timeline?
It puts the slack at the beginning instead of the end. Suppliers arrive earlier than they would elsewhere, the crew eats on site, and nobody plans to nip back for a forgotten item. A planner working here is really designing a day that survives without communication.
What about our guests?
Tell them the drive takes longer than the map says, that they should fill the tank before they set off and that they will lose signal along the way. Give them a printed schedule. Anything that assumes a phone in a pocket will fail for a portion of your guest list.
Does anything have to come from further away?
Most of it. There is very little supply immediately nearby, so flowers, rentals and staff travel in, and that travel is a real part of the cost. Ask each supplier where they are coming from and what time they intend to be on the road, and treat late departures as a red flag.
