Flight
The closest major airport is San Diego International Airport (SAN), about 35 minutes from the venue. McClellan-Palomar Airport in Carlsbad (CLD) is a smaller regional option that’s even closer if you can find a flight.
Rental Car
We recommend using Uber or Lyft to get to and from the venue. There will be no shuttle service. The venue is located on a hilltop accessed by a winding road—rideshare is the easiest and safest way to enjoy the evening without worrying about the drive.
Hotel
This is our top pick for the full experience. Lakehouse Resort sits right on Lake San Marcos, about 10–15 minutes from the venue. It's a beautiful property with lakefront views, two pools, a hot tub, golf, boat rentals, and on-site dining. If you're looking to turn the wedding weekend into a little getaway, this is your spot. You'll also be walking distance from some of our favorite San Marcos recommendations on the "Things To Do" page.
Hotel
The Residence Inn offers suite-style rooms with full kitchenettes, an outdoor pool, and free parking. It's comfortable, reliable, and about 15 minutes from the venue — perfect if you're staying more than one night and want to settle in.
Hotel
A solid and affordable option close to the venue. The Fairfield has clean, comfortable rooms, an outdoor pool, and free parking. It's a no-fuss pick if you just need a great place to sleep and get ready — you'll be spending most of your time with us anyway!
Hotel
Our pick for Oceanside is the Mission Pacific Beach Resort. It's right on the beach, steps from the pier, and home to two spots already on our "Things To Do" page — High/Low for brunch and The Rooftop Bar for sunset drinks. It's walkable to everything Oceanside has to offer, and about 20–25 minutes from the venue. If you want a beachfront weekend with great food and ocean views, this is the one.
Hotel
For Carlsbad, we love the Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort. It's right in the heart of Carlsbad Village with the beach just steps away, and you can walk to pretty much all of our favorite Carlsbad spots from the front door. It has a pool, a laid-back coastal vibe, and it's about 20–25 minutes from the venue. It's the kind of place where you'll want to come back even when it's not our wedding weekend.
