FAQs

Question

Where should I stay? Will there be transportation?

Answer

We will be staying at Mission Pacific, and we’d love for guests to join us there! Its sister property, The Seabird Resort, is also a great option just across the street. For convenience, we will have transportation running between Mission Pacific and the wedding venue. Guests are also welcome to stay at other nearby resorts if they prefer. For example, Pechanga offers a full casino experience, Carter Estate and other Temecula wineries provide a peaceful vineyard setting, and Pala Mesa is a convenient option for guests who plan to drive and want to be close by. Please note, however, that we are only able to provide transportation for Mission Pacific (a short walk from The Seabird across the street), so guests staying elsewhere will need to arrange their own transportation to and from the venue.
