Hotel
We recommend staying at The Rose Hotel in downtown Pleasanton if you're an out of town guest and plan on attending the after party at the Beer Baron (it's only a few blocks away). It's only a 15 minute drive to the wedding venue in Livermore and also walking distance to many cute shops, restaurants, etc. if you are making a weekend of it! They serve a complimentary continental breakfast on Sunday from 7-10:30am, which Brad and I will be at if you want to re-cap the night before and send us off before we take off for Carmel!
Flight
The Bay Area has quite a few airport options, but we recommend flying to Oakland, which is a 30 minute drive from Pleasanton (The Rose Hotel). You might find more, cheaper options if you fly to SFO and depending on traffic (definitely check this!) can be a 45 minute drive. From either SFO or Oakland, you can rent a car and drive or take the BART train (take the Dublin/Pleasanton line to West Dublin/Pleasanton station). San Jose is another viable option and only a 30 minute drive from Pleasanton.
Hotel
As an alternative option, if you're looking for something more budget friendly and don't need to be in the heart of downtown Pleasanton, we recommend the Four Points Sheraton. This hotel is about 15 minute drive to the wedding venue and about 5 minute drive to the after party location.
