Toll House Hotel
This is the hotel in which we have reserved a block of rooms, and we highly recommend it. We have negotiated some great prices for the area, and this hotel is right in Los Gatos, allowing easy walking access to parks, cafes, restaurants and shops. This will also be the location of pick-up/drop off for the Guest Transportation buses on the day of the wedding. The hotel includes a bar and restaurant inside for convenience and an outdoor gathering space. Please use this link or call the hotel to reserve a room. PLEASE BOOK BEFORE OCT. 6th FOR THE DISCOUNTED PRICES. After this date, the remaining blocked rooms will be released. The rates can be seen in the chart below. The discounted rates apply to Thursday (Nov. 7th) and Friday (Nov. 8th) nights only, although you are welcome to stay as long as you would like! They do have some connected rooms available, so if you would like to request this, please make your reservation via phone call, so they can make note of the request. If the prices they give you do not match what is stated in the list below, please let us know.

Flight
Flying into California
We recommend flying into San Jose for easiest access to Los Gatos. This will be a 25-30 minute drive to the hotel and the wedding venue. You can also fly into Oakland or San Francisco, if there are better flights available, with just a bit of a longer drive.
Shuttle
Shuttle Transportation
November 8, 2024 2:15 pm - 10:00 pm
We will be providing a guest shuttle transport from the Tollhouse Hotel to the various venues for the day of the wedding. The schedule will be as follows: -2:15 pm leaving Tollhouse Hotel to the Cathedral in San Jose for the Ceremony -4:00 pm leaving the Cathedral to drive to the Reception venue (Nestldown) in Los Gatos -10 pm leaving from Nestldown venue to return to the Tollhouse Hotel. You are also welcome to drive yourself, but the transportation is an option we have chosen to provide to allow guests to avoid driving through traffic and to enjoy themselves while at the wedding. The roads to/from Nestldown are winding and narrow, especially at night. The staff at the venue have mentioned that obtaining Ubers or other ride sharing at the venue is difficult as well.
Rental Car
Parking at Cathedral Basilica of St. Joseph
If you choose to drive yourself to the ceremony, parking at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Joseph is all city/street parking. There is no parking lot. There is Handicap parking on the road in front of the church and a ramp to the Left side, for those who need it. There are several parking decks nearby.
