Travel recommendations for our out of town guests

Flight

Los Angeles International Airport

Expect about a 25 minute drive from LAX to the Redondo Beach area. If you're taking a rideshare (Uber/Lyft), please note that LAX requires all pickups except for Uber Black to happen at the LAX-it lot, which is a separate location from the terminals. You'll need to take a free shuttle or walk from your arrival terminal to LAX-it, then request your ride from there. This adds about 15-20 minutes to your pickup time, so we recommend planning for 45-60 minutes total travel time from landing to arriving in Redondo Beach. Rental cars and taxis can be picked up directly from the terminals if you prefer to skip the LAX-it process. Please allow extra time for LAX's size and potential weekend traffic.

A great option just a short walk from the venue! Our room block at the Portofino has filled up, so if you're still looking for a place to stay, the Sonesta is our top recommendation. It's right on the harbor and an easy walk to all the wedding festivities.

Alternative Accomodations

For those seeking vacation rentals, the nearby Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach areas offer great Airbnb options within 10-15 minutes of our venues. The Shade Hotel in Manhattan Beach and Beach House Hotel in Hermosa Beach are also excellent upscale alternatives.
