Travel

We are so excited for you to join us for our destination wedding weekend in Avalon, California.
Avalon is the central city in Catalina, a beautiful island just off the coast of south Los Angeles. Avalon is completely walkable (although renting a golf cart is recommended!), and will require a ferry ride!
To get to Avalon, please book your ferry tickets well in advance with Catalina Express. There are multiple departure ports, but Long Beach is recommended (There's also a parking fee, so carpooling is helpful!)
Catalina requires a two-night stay on the island. However, we have a limited number of one-night stay rooms booked especially for our wedding guests at the Atwater Hotel. Tell them you are booking for the Smith-Yarnell wedding, and they'll give you the hook-up :)
The Atwater has also kindly discounted rooms for our guests, making it a great choice.
