Travel

Airports:

The closest airport to Monterey is Monterey Regional Airport (MRY). Alternatives that tend to offer better prices are San Jose Airport (SJC) or San Francisco (SFO) or Oakland (OAK). San Jose is about 45 minutes from the wedding venue and an hour from Monterey. San Francisco and Oakland are about 30 minutes further. We suggest renting a car at the airport for ease of transportation during your stay. Otherwise, Groome Transportation (formerly Monterey Airbus) is a great transportation option between SJC and SFO and the Monterey area.

Accommodations:
We recommend staying at Waterfall Lodge the night of the wedding (only available the night of the wedding), but below are recommended alternative accommodations. On-site cabins at Waterfall Lodge are $295 plus local taxes (family, inquire about a special rate). Booking information will be available closer to the wedding date. Alternative options range from $150-$300.


There are also recommended lodging options throughout the Monterey Peninsula if planning some travel days before or after the celebration.
