Lodging - Hotels
Hotels
There are multiple hotels around the Auburn area. I would advise looking at the different options on trip advisor at either Auburn, Colfax, Grass Valley, or Nevada City. All of these towns will either be close to Weimar, or to the wedding venue. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Weimar College Dorm
This is a dorm that is currently not being used by the college and they are willing to have female wedding guests stay there for $20/night. You would have to bring your own bedding. Each room has a twin bed and a shared bathroom. If this is a good option for you email me at [email protected]
Weimar Inn
$55 /night. This is set in the beautiful campus of Weimar. They have given a special discount for the wedding guests but this discount is only available until 2 weeks before the wedding. So if this is a good option for you call this number to make a reservation and tell them you are with the Tiffany/Cardona Wedding (530) 422-7933
Best Western Golden Key
Is located only 2.6 miles from downtown Auburn, only 10 minutes away from Weimar. The prices are around $76/night.

Gift Registry
We're simply grateful for your presence to celebrate the occasion with us!
In hope of minimizing expenses after moving to Loma Linda University to further God's calling, we have chosen to live a simple life in a tiny house. We are already extremely grateful for your presence at our wedding, but if you would like to give a gift, we would be blessed to receive either monetary gifts or any items from our registry.
We want to thank each one of you for blessing our life with your friendship!
