FAQ

Question

What airport should I fly into?

Answer

If traveling from out of town, the closest airports are: Los Angeles Airport (LAX) ~ 1.5 Hours/70 miles Burbank Airport (BUR) ~ 1 Hour/55 miles Santa Barbara Airport (SBA) ~ 35 Minutes/37 miles Cars: If you are renting a car from LAX, take a shuttle to the rental car brand of choice from baggage claim after you land. If you are getting an Uber from LAX, walk or shuttle to the rideshare area OR you can take an Uber Black ONLY from the curb at baggage claim.

Question

Should I rent a car?

Answer

If you are from out of town flying in, we would recommend renting a car since LA is very big and the venue is far from most airports/hotels. If you are renting a car from LAX, take a shuttle to the rental car brand of choice from baggage claim after you land. If you are getting an Uber from LAX, walk or shuttle to the ride share area OR you can take an Uber Black ONLY from the curb at baggage claim.

Question

Do you have a room block?

Answer

We have a room block at The Crowne Plaza in Ventura, CA Please go to the accommodations tab.

Question

What area should I stay in?

Answer

If you're booking an Airbnb or are looking for another hotel outside of our room block, here are our recommendations for what areas to stay in.

Question

Will there be a shuttle to the wedding?

Answer

There will be a shuttle from Crowne Plaza Inn & Clocktower Inn to the venue, on the day of the wedding. If you are not staying at either of these hotels, we recommend renting a car or using a ride-share app to get to the venue.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

There is a parking lot at the venue and attendants to assist you.

Question

Semi-Formal: Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses.

What is the dinner menu?

Answer

We will be having a buffet at the wedding with vegan and vegetarian options.

Question

What's the weather like that time of year?

Answer

In LA, June is a great temperature. The days reach around 80 degrees and the evenings are in the 60's. Bring a light jacket as it gets chilly at night.

Question

What should I do after the wedding?

Answer

If you're looking for places to visit near Ventura, we love Solvang and Santa Barbara. Solvang is an old charming Dutch town about 1 hour+ north of Ventura. Santa Barbara is a beautiful coastal town with lots of shops and eateries about 30 mins north of Ventura.
