Travel

While we both live in San Francisco, we fell in love with a venue in Petaluma, CA that we think creates the perfect space to celebrate with you all. Petaluma is about 1 hour north of San Francisco and is beautifully surrounded by rolling hills, farms, and vineyards. For those who are traveling in from out of town, there are 4 airports within 1-2 hours of Petaluma and you can find each listed below. If flying in, we recommend renting a car, although public shuttles are available from some airports. The month of May in Petaluma is the beginning of peak wedding season and being in wine country, accommodations fill up quite quickly. We recommend booking early!

Airport Options

Santa Rosa Airport (STS) is the nearest to Petaluma, but has limited flight options in terms of destinations and flights per day. It is ~30 min from Petaluma. San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is just south of San Francisco and typically has the most flights. It is ~1.5 hours from Petaluma. Oakland International Airport (OAK) is just across the Bay Bridge from San Francisco. It is ~1 hour from Petaluma. Sacramento International Airport (SMF) is the furthest away, but you might be able to find some good flight deals. It is ~2 hours from Petaluma. We recommend you rent a car if flying into Sacramento.

We recommend checking and comparing various websites to find the best deal, but Turo is also a reliable car share option in the Bay Area and is often the most cost effective.
