Andrii & Cindy
09.05.2026
Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA
Cake by the
Ocean
We both moved to San Francisco in 2016—living parallel lives, visiting the same neighborhoods, probably crossing paths countless times—but it took six years before we finally met each other. When we did, everything clicked with an ease we still can’t fully explain.
Since then, life has become a mix of shared routines and discoveries: Andrii teaching Cindy how to lift, and Cindy introducing Andrii to new music, like Joe Hisaishi and Jacob Collier!
In a full-circle moment, this venue is also where Cindy first performed at a wedding years ago, singing and playing guitar on the same cliffs where we’ll now say our vows. We can’t wait to celebrate with you over a long, cozy Labor Day weekend.
The Ceremony
Starts at 5:00PM on the Wedding Deck at Hyatt Carmel Highlands (Please arrive 20–30 minutes early to grab a seat!)
The Reception
Immediately following in the Surf Room at Hyatt Carmel Highlands
Dress code
Black Tie - Formal gowns, tuxedos, tailored suits: dress to celebrate.
The ceremony is outdoors on the oceanfront deck, so a light layer is recommended for the evening breeze. Block heels or flats are still encouraged for comfort on the deck surface.
Travel (Labor Day Weekend Tips)Since it is Labor Day weekend, flights, hotels, and rental cars tend to book quickly. We recommend securing accommodations as early as possible.
Airports:
MRY (Monterey) – closest, ~20–30 min
SJC (San Jose) – ~1.5–2 hrs
SFO (San Francisco) – ~2–2.5 hrs
Expect heavier coastal traffic, especially on Saturday afternoon along Highway 1. Please plan extra driving time for arrival.
AccommodationsCarmel-by-the-Sea and Monterey are extremely popular during Labor Day weekend. We recommend booking accommodations early, whether at Hyatt Carmel Highlands or nearby hotels, inns, or rentals.

“As a child, I’d pour over family photo albums, admiring the portraits. Now, I get to add to our collective albums, our collective memories.”
