Flight
Los Angeles has many airports, but LAX is definitely the easiest for both domestic and international flights and is only a short car ride away from all hotel and rental suggestions.
Flight
The Burbank airport is another good option for domestic flights, although a bit further from Santa Monica. It is about 15 miles away or 45 minutes.
Hotel
This is a great option if you want to be close to the beach and the bustling 3rd Street Promenade. It is about a 10-minute car ride to the wedding venue.

Our wedding planner Krissy recommended this hotel. Trip Advisor says "A whimsical colorful facade, this upscale art deco hotel dating from 1933 is a 9 minute walk from the pier and across from the oceanfront palisades park". I hope they've upgraded the plumbing since 1933, and Chris once caught a Magikarp on the palisades park during the Pokémon Go phenomenon. The Georgian Hotel is about a 10 minute drive to the wedding venue.
Hotel
An incredible beachfront hotel with Cape Cod vibes, Trip Advisor calls it "The epitome of Southern California's Breezy Lifestyle". I once got my bike locked there on a first date and the staff was quite helpful. 4.5 out of 5 Stars. Shutters on the Beach is about a 10-minute drive to the wedding venue.
