Airports
These are the airports you'll want to travel into if this is a destination wedding for you!
Flight
John Wayne Airport (SNA)
This is the airport that is closest to the venue, but the smallest of the four listed. There will likely be less flight / airline options and potentially higher pricing.
Flight
Long Beach Airport (LGB)
A large airport with tons of flight options available. Closer to the venue than LAX. Lots of rideshare and taxi options for transportation. Also supports car rental onsite.
Flight
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
The largest and most trafficked of the four airports in the area. Largest selection of flights. Tons of rideshare and taxi options. Rental car onsite, as well. Roughly, a 90 minute drive (in LA traffic) to the wedding venue.
Flight
San Diego International Airport (SAN)
About 20 extra minutes of travel from LAX, but probably way less of a headache in a crowded airport!
