We recommend flying into San Diego International Airport (SAN) or Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) for our international travelers! LAX is 66 miles north and SAN is 62 miles south of the venue.

For our domestic travelers John Wayne Airport (SNA) located in Orange County is the closest airport. We live just 10 minutes from this airport now, and it's only 27 miles from the venue! Southwest, Delta, American, Spirit, & United all fly to this airport.

Depending on how long you are coming and what else you want to see while you're in California there are a few options to get you to Orange County! You are already making the trip out to CA so you might as well enjoy as much of it as you can :)

First thing to remember is this is America not Europe, so unfortunately our train systems are not as advanced nor do the trains travel as frequently. Renting a pick-up truck or oversized SUV though and we've got you covered!
As it stands there is only one train that leaves each day from San Diego and stops in San Clemente & San Juan Capistrano (departs around 3:30pm I believe). The link above is for the Pacific Surfliner which goes along the coast and is extremely scenic. You can also train down from LA to San Clemente.

If you are not planning on renting a car or coordinating a ride it will be easiest to stay in San Clemente. The bridal party is going to be staying in Laguna Beach, unfortunately the train doesn't stop there, but it is only about 20-25 minutes from SNA airport (John Wayne/Orange County).

Renting a car is a good option if you want the flexibility to travel around and stop when and where you'd like, it will also give you more freedom to explore neighboring beach towns.

Please feel free to explore accommodation options in the following towns - Laguna Beach, Dana Point & San Clemente. Anywhere north or south of these towns will be too far. See accommodations for hotel recs and blocks! Keep reading for descriptions of each town.

LAGUNA BEACH - The bridal party and Floyd Family will be staying here! There is a free trolley that runs throughout Laguna Beach, definitely utilize this as traffic can be heavy during the summer and parking can be difficult. Laguna Beach is extremely WALKABLE with plenty to see & do, lots of boutique restaurants & shops, boutique shops & scenic beaches. Be sure to explore Heisler Park and nearby Crystal Cove State Park or Top of the World if you're able to! We will be providing roundtrip transportation from Laguna Beach to the venue in San Clemente on the day of the wedding (more details of pickup location & time to come). If you pick your own accommodation here, try to stay south of Canyon Road otherwise it will be too far and traffic will be a nightmare. This is a busy time of year due to the Sawdust Festival (great art fair) and the Pageant of the Masters, so try and make dinner reservations in advance if you can.

SAN CLEMENTE - The West family will be staying here and this is where the wedding is on Sunday! It's got a smaller downtown that is also very walkable although slightly further away from the beach. We have hotel blocks by the venue and downtown. We highly recommend catching a sunset on the pier and eating at the waterfront restaurant on it if you're looking for some incredible seafood.

San Juan Capistrano is a unique town with another train stop. Be sure to tour the old missions, dine at San Juan Capistrano Winery, or go to one of our favorite breweries, Docent!

For those doing an extended stay, we would definitely encourage you to explore San Diego or LA before or after the weekend, but encourage guests to arrive to Orange County on Friday evening, and depart on Monday afternoon (wedding is on a SUNDAY!). Please feel free to reach out to the Bride & Groom for any travel tips & recommendations as we visit both cities frequently.

Considering a road trip up Pacific Coast Highway to San Francisco or to Yosemite? We have got you covered for recs there too! This was one of our favorite trips and is one of the most beautiful drives either of us has ever done.

We have contracted a room block here for any guests to reserve on their own! Our discounted group rate is $250 (plus a discounted $10 resort fee). Reservations will be available on a first come first serve basis. Please copy/paste the link below to make your reservation:
